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.

Construction of N-substituted pyrrolidones from biomass-derived levulinicacid (LA) via reductive amination is a highly attractive route for biomass valorization. However, realizing this transformation using H2 as the hydrogen source under mild conditions is still very challenging. Herein, we designed porous TiO2 nanosheets-supported Pt nanoparticles (Pt/P-TiO2) as the heterogeneous catalyst. The prepared Pt/P-TiO2
通过还原胺化从生物质衍生的乙酰丙酸 (LA) 构建 N 取代的吡咯烷酮是一种极具吸引力的生物质价值化途径。然而,在温和条件下使用 H2 作为氢源实现这种转化仍然非常具有挑战性。在此,我们设计了多孔 TiO2 纳米片负载的 Pt 纳米粒子(Pt/P-TiO2)作为多相催化剂。制备的 Pt/P-TiO2 在环境温度和 H2 压力下对 LA 的还原胺化非常有效,以生产各种 N-取代的吡咯烷酮(34 个实例)。同时,Pt/P-TiO2对乙酰丙酸酯、4-乙酰丁酸、2-乙酰苯甲酸和2-羧基苯甲醛的还原胺化显示出良好的适用性。

This work offers a simple methodolgy to avoid solvents and added catalysts for the synthesis of different kinds of N-substituted pyrrolidones. Different aniline derivatives with varying steric and electronic demands, aliphatic amines and benzyl amines were responsive to this methodology. The method was also modified for the synthesis of industrially important γ-valerolactone. Control experiments and
Monotrifluoroacetoxyborane-amines, prepared by treating borane-amines with trifluoroacetic acid, have been shown to be efficient reagents for a one-pot, tandem reductive amination/alkylation–cycloamidation of keto or amino acids to achieve the synthesis of 5-aryl or 5-methyl pyrrolidin-2-ones and 6-aryl or 6-methyl piperidin-2-ones.
Levulinic acid (LA) is transformed into pyrrolidinones by formic acid in DMSO without a catalyst. Mechanistic studies suggest the involvement of an iminium intermediate and a rate-limiting hydride transfer step.
