The Leuckart Reactions
In these videos, I will be synthesising amines via the Leuckart reaction. The Leuckart reaction is a reaction that converts aldehydes or ketones to amines. This is a reductive amination.

Synthesis of Formetorex by the Leuckart Method (Stage 1)
4m 55s
The reductive amination of carbonyl compounds to the corresponding amines by reaction with excess ammonium formate (Leuckart reaction) is a very useful procedure for the preparation of N-formyl derivatives of amines.
Ammonium carbonate and formic acid generate ammonium formate in situ, which in t...
