Efficient Catalytic Hydrogenation of N‐Unsubstituted Cyclic Imides to Cyclic Amines. Issue 9 (30th July 2014) - Maj, Anna M.
Abstract The hydrogenation of N‐unsubstituted cyclic imides to the corresponding cyclic amines has been performed selectively with heterogeneous catalysts obtained from rhodium and molybdenum carbonyl precursors. Various substrates were reduced in good to high yields and selectivities. Platinum‐based catalysts also proved to be efficient. Furthermore, gram‐scale experiments were performed and the catalysts could be recycled.
