title: Synthesis of polyfunctional secondary amines by the addition of functionalized zinc reagents to nitrosoarenes.
abstract: Addition of functionalized aryl, heteroaryl or adamantyl zinc reagents to various nitroso-arenes in the presence of magnesium salts and LiCl in THF produces after a reductive work-up with FeCl2 and NaBH4 in ethanol the corresponding polyfunctional secondary amines in high yields.
