Abstract

A DFT comparative mechanistic study unveils that the TBD-catalyzed reactions of amines with CO2 and hydrosilanes may either undergo a neutral mechanism or a mechanism involving free ions, depending on the polarity of the solvent. The nucleophilicity of the amines is an important factor to determine the chemoselectivities of the reactions to give formamide or aminal/N-methylated amine.
