Abstract:Development of convenient and effective heterogeneous non-noble metal catalyst for α-alkylation of ketones with alcohols is challenging in heterogeneous catalysis. Here, we report active non-noble metal Cu/CuOx catalysts for the...
“…Copper has been used as a catalyst for more than 100 years because of its abundance, low toxicity, and high efficiency in hydrogenation. Recently, several copper-catalyzed BH reactions for the N -alkylation of amines with alcohols and α-alkylation of ketones with alcohols have been reported . However, a ligand or support was required to assist the copper catalyst.…”

Herein, atomically dispersed Ru sites are encapsulated within UiO-66–NH2 frameworks to serve as a highly active, selective, and stable catalyst for amine synthesis via N-alkylation reactions of o-phenylenediamine with monohydric alcohols.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
