Abstract

In this work, the complex dichlorobis(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium(II) (Ru(DMP)2Cl2) was found to effectively catalyze the direct reductive amination of bio-based 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) in the presence of H2 (g) in ethanol solvent. Good product yields (66–95%) were obtained from a broad substrate scope of primary and secondary amines.
