Abstract:Selective synthesis of primary amines via reductive amination becomes an important research topic due to their wide applications. Various metal-based catalysts (Ru, Ir, Pt, Rh, etc.) have been developed; however, most systems suffer from low efficiency and poor stability. Here, we revealed that the hydride-like NH2δ- species, generated by the dissociation of NH3 over a core-shell structured Co@CoO catalyst is capable of accelerating the ammonolysis of Schiff bases, the reaction intermediates. This catalyst can… Show more
