title: Hydroaminomethylation Beyond Carbonylation: Allene-Imine Reductive Coupling by Ruthenium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation.
abstract: Ruthenium(II)-catalyzed hydrogen transfer from 2-propanol mediates reductive coupling of 1,1-disubstituted allenes with formaldimines with complete branch-regioselectivity, thus representing a new method for hydroaminomethylation beyond classical hydroformylation/reductive amination.
