This review provides an overview of the decisive role of metal–support interaction in the reductive amination of levulinates to N-containing compounds, which helps design catalytic materials for the reductive amination of carbonyl compounds.
In the last decade numerous techniques have been developed in Pd-catalysed distal C–H activation ranging from template-assisted to the use of inherent functional groups as the directing auxiliary including ligand-enabled transformations.
Recent advances in the amination of biomass-derived molecules to generate valuable nitrogenous chemicals by employing thermocatalysis, electrocatalysis and photocatalysis strategies are reviewed.
Pt-impregnated monoclinic ZrO2 (Pt/M-ZrO2) possesses a high hydrogen activation capability and shows remarkable catalytic activity towards reductive amination under ambient conditions than Pt-impregnated tetragonal ZrO2 (Pt/T-ZrO2).
Base-metal-catalyzed carbonylation utilizing CO surrogates.
