cost effective synthetic strategy. Here, we describe the synthesis of a variety of N-(alkyl, aryl)-5-methyl-2-pyrrolidones through the reductive amination of levulinic acid using formic acid as the hydrogen source. This system is catalyzed by 3.8 nm ruthenium nanoparticles that were prepared by thermal decomposition of [Ru3(CO)12] in solvent-free conditions. When the reactions were carried out without
