title: Selective reduction of amides to amines by boronic acid catalyzed hydrosilylation.
abstract: Not a 'B'ore! Benzothiophene-based boronic acids catalyze the reduction of tertiary, secondary, and primary amides in the presence of a hydrosilane. The reaction demonstrates good functional-group tolerance.
