title: Metal-free reductions of N-heterocycles via Lewis acid catalyzed hydrogenation.
abstract: N-Heterocycles form weak adducts with B(C(6)F(5))(3) that exist in equilibrium with the corresponding FLP; nonetheless, these heterocycles are reduced in the presence of a catalytic amount of the borane B(C(6)F(5))(3) and H(2).
