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.

    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...
