Abstract
The 1:1 complexes formed in situ from nickel(II) acetate and the thios emicarbazones of ortho-hydroxy aromatic aldehydes catalyze the hydrosi lylation of imines. A variety of imines were reduced in good to excell ent yields employing two equivalents of a silane such as triethylsilan e and 5 mol% of the catalysts.
