Ruthenium-Catalyzed Conversion of Levulinic Acid to Pyrrolidines by Reductive Amination

Ruthenium-Catalyzed Conversion of Levulinic Acid to Pyrrolidines by Reductive Amination

Combo deal: An aqueous solution of levulinic acid (LA) and formic acid (FA) derived from biomass‐based carbohydrates can be converted efficiently to pyrrolidines via a ruthenium catalyst without need for an energy‐intensive separation of LA or an external H2 source. The ruthenium catalyst combines t...

Zusammenfassung:Combo deal: An aqueous solution of levulinic acid (LA) and formic acid (FA) derived from biomass‐based carbohydrates can be converted efficiently to pyrrolidines via a ruthenium catalyst without need for an energy‐intensive separation of LA or an external H2 source. The ruthenium catalyst combines two processes: decomposition of FA to H2 and reductive amination of LA with an amine.
