Abstract

Use of porous TiO2 nanosheets-supported Pt nanoparticles (Pt/P-TiO2) as heterogeneous catalyst enables a challenging reductive amination of biomass-derived levulinic acid at ambient temperature and H2 pressure. Pt/P-TiO2 also showed good applicability for reductive amination of levulinic esters, 4-acetylbutyric acid, 2-acetylbenzoic acid, and 2-carboxybenzaldehyde.
