“…In continuation of the above studies, altering the physicochemical properties of metal oxides (acidity, basicity, oxygen vacancies, and Lewis acid-base pair) has been investigated and found to strongly influence product distribution. [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] In line with this, Touchy et al 35 developed Mo-promoted Pt-MoO X /TiO 2 for the reductive amination of LA to OMP at 100 °C, 3 bar H 2 , obtaining a near quantitative yield (99%). Vidal et al 36 prepared Pt/TiO 2 via the deposition-precipitation method for the reductive amination of ethyl levulinate, affording a high selectivity towards the target product at 120 °C under solvent-free conditions.…”
