title: Synthesis of amines with pendant boronic esters by borrowing hydrogen catalysis.
abstract: Amine alkylation reactions of alcohols have been performed in the presence of boronic ester groups to provide products which are known to have use as molecular sensors. The boronic ester moiety could be present in either the alcohol or amine starting material and was not compromised in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst.
