I need help. I'm trying to do a photo reduction on a imine to amine and have no clue on how to do it. please help Loptr - 16-7-2016 at 19:15
So you want us to go do the essential reading for you? It's not like I do this every day.
You have no other ability to reduce than using light? I would suggest you do something else with your imine if that is the case.
Which imine do you have in mind?

I don't really wanna spoonfeed the research/answers to you, but I did find a couple of abstracts that mention photoreductions of imines in alcohols,
and RSC abstract that said such reduction occurred at 170-180 nm and 230-260 nm wavelengths.
But really, if you simply google your question (photoreduction of imines), there are a lot of immediate results, despite the fact that many are only
abstracts. Just please look things up first and try to contribute a bit to the question itself before asking something of this nature.Loptr - 17-7-2016 at 12:07
If you need access to a journal article just be sure to come back and request it.Loptr - 18-7-2016 at 05:45
Here is the article in question.
