Abstract The reduction of N-[(3-methoxy-2-thienyl)methylene]-2,6-dimethylaniline (2) by use of trichlorosilane proceeded smoothly in the presence of a catalytic amount of BF3·Et2O. The trichlorosilane/BF3·Et2O combination was applicable to the reduction of various Schiff bases. In the case of dichlorosilane, the reduction of 2 proceeded with a 90% yield without any catalysts.
