repair of idiopathic dilatation of the right atrium idiopathic dilatation of the right atrium is a rare cardiac anomaly the surgical management of this rare cardiac anomaly is reviewed bc6 an efficient method for the coupling of nalkylamines with silicon enolates to generate amino carbonyl compounds is disclosed these reactions proceed by activation of amino ch bonds by bc6f53 which likely generates a frustrated acidbase complex in the presence of large nalkylamines the transformation requires no external oxidant and releases hydrosilane as a byproduct the utility of this method is demonstrated in the latestage functionalization of bioactive molecules such as citalopram atomoxetine and fluoxetine
