Article Description

The selective reductive amination of levulinic acid (LA) into pyrrolidone derivatives is regarded as one of the most promising reactions in the fields of biomass conversion into high value-added chemicals. Herein, we report a one-pot synthesis of N-substituted-5-methyl-2-pyrrolidones by reductive amination of LA/ester with nitriles over several commercial catalysts. Among the catalysts texted, Pd/C was found to be the most efficient for the reductive amination of LA/ester with various nitriles to give high yields of pyrrolidones (up to 92%) under mild reaction conditions (80 °C, 1.6 MPa H, tetrahydrofuran solvent). And the catalyst showed good reusability.
