(57) Abstract: (Corrected) SOLUTION: A method for producing an amine of general formula III, wherein a substituted amide of general formula I is treated with a reducing agent obtained from a compound of general formula II and metal borohydride. (R 1 to R 3 may be the same or different and each have hydrogen, a C 1-20 linear or branched or cyclic alkyl group which may have a stable substituent, and a stable substituent. Optionally represents a C6-18 aryl group, a heterocyclic group having 3 to 22 atoms which may have a stable substituent, etc., and R 1 and R 2 are taken together to form a ring. However, R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are not all hydrogen.) (R 4 ) 2 SO 4 (II) (R 4 represents a C1-3 alkyl group, a phenyl group or a benzyl group.) (R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are the same as those in the general formula I.) [Effect] The amines can be produced from the amides conveniently and in high yield industrially advantageously. |
