title: Direct reductive amination of aromatic aldehydes catalyzed by gold(I) complex under transfer hydrogenation conditions.
abstract: The direct reductive amination of aromatic aldehydes has been achieved with excellent isolated yields (89-96%) using readily accessible Ph(3)PAuCl/AgOTf catalyst along with ethyl Hantzsch ester as hydrogen source under mild reaction conditions.
