The reaction of cyclohexanone and N,N-dimethylamine with sodiumtriacetoxyborohydride (NaBH(OAc)3) in methanol with acetic acid (AcOH) affords N,Ndimethylcyclohexanamine in high yield. However, if anhydrous HCl is used the reaction yield of N,Ndimethylcyclohexanamine is low and a side reaction occurs to produce alcohol.
Draw a reaction mechanism for the reductive amination sequence, highlighting tautomers present in the reaction.
