Base-Free Synthesis of Furfurylamines from Biomass Furans Using Ru Pincer Complexes
We report the first example of employing homogeneous organometal-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation for the selective reductive amination of furfurals to furfurylamines. An efficient, chemoselective, and base-free method is described using Ru-MACHO-BH as catalyst and <i>i</i>PrOH as H dono...
