Abstract

Abstract The reduction of aryl aldehydes and ketones in neutral medium, to the corresponding hydrocarbons via carbon-nitrogen bond cleavage of the intermediate N-(arylmethyl)anilines with low-valent titanium reagents is described. It provides a mild, convenient and selective pathway for deoxygenation of carbonyls without the production of any side product.
