Abstract
AbstractAmong different kinds of chemicals, amines represent essential compounds widely used as fine and bulk chemicals, which serve as key intermediates and central precursors in chemical, pharmaceuticals, agrochemical, and materials industries. Moreover, amine functionalities constitute important motifs presented in a large of number of life science molecules, which play vital roles in their activities and functions. For the synthesis of amines, catalytic reduction of nitro compounds and nitriles and reductive aminations are widely used to produce primary, secondary, and tertiary amines as well as drug targets. In this article, we discuss the recent developments on reduction of nitro compounds, nitriles, and reductive aminations using mainly nonnoble metal‐based catalysts in the presence of molecular hydrogen to access different kinds of amines.
