“…A series of phenethylamines, important substructures in biologically relevant molecules such as dopamine, amphetamine, and adrenaline, have recently been prepared by the hydroboration of enamines using 9-BBN [39]. Although the amine-directed uncatalyzed hydroboration using H 3 BÁTHF is known [40,41], to the best of our knowledge, the metal catalyzed hydroboration of enamines has not yet been reported. While a number of different transition metals are known to catalyze hydroborations, reactions employing rhodium complexes are the most common.…”
