Catalytic hydrogenation of amino acids to amino alcohols with complete retention of configuration

Abstract

Rh-MoOx/SiO2 is an effective heterogeneous catalyst for selective hydrogenation of amino acids to amino alcohols in a water solvent. MoOx modification of Rh drastically enhanced the activity and improved the selectivity and ee. Various amino alcohols were obtained in high yields (90–94%) with complete retention of configuration.
