Abstract

Fluoroimines have been reduced to their corresponding amines by means of NaBH4 using MeOH as a solvent at room temperature. The
reaction time and yield are 1-1.5 hr and 77-90%, respectively. Reduction process is very effective, inexpensive and clean for synthesis of
fluoroamines in good yield. The structures of the compounds are supported by FTIR, mass spectrometry 1H and 13C NMR spectral data.

Key words: NaBH4 reduction; fluoroamines; fluoroimines; spectral data.
