Levulinic acid (LA) is transformed into pyrrolidinones via iridium-catalysed reductive amination using formic acid as the hydrogen source under aqueous conditions. The catalytic system is the most active and performs under the mildest conditions ever reported for the reductive amination of LA.
月桂酸(

甲酸作为氢源、在
铱催化下进行还原胺化反应,转化为
吡咯烷酮。该催化体系是目前为止报道的最具活性的,在所有已知的
月桂酸还原胺化反应中最温和条件下进行的催化系统。
