Abstract

A novel and highly efficient heterogeneous catalytic reductive amination of aldehydes is described. The recently developed graphene supported NiPd alloy nanoparticle (G-NiPd) catalyst using ammonia borane (AB) as a green, stable and safe hydrogen donor was used in a water/methanol mixture (v/v=2/3) under ambient conditions. The catalytic system was successfully applied in the reductive amination of various substituted aldehydes with amines and the corresponding products were obtained in (up to) 99% yield in 6h. The G-NiPd catalyst could be recycled up to five times without any significant loss in the product yield.
