One-pot synthesis of amines from biomass resources catalyzed by HReO4

Abstract

This work describes the one-pot synthesis of furfurylamines from carbohydrates catalyzed by HReO₄. These one-pot three-reaction and four-reaction processes allow the conversion of xylose and xylan, respectively, into a large variety of secondary and tertiary amines with good overall yields and chemoselectivity.
