Abstract
This work represents reductive amination of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (HMF) to 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfurylamine (HMFA) catalyzed by Ni-based bimetallic catalysts. It was found that hydroxyapatite (HAP) was the excellent support for the reaction and the bimetallic 3 wt%Ni–2 wt% Co-loaded HAP (Ni3Co2HAP) catalyst gave the highest activity of 60% at 2 mmol scale by a batch reactor. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) results suggested that the large metallic composition of both Ni and Co were the crucial factor for high activity on the CoNi-supported HAP catalyst for the synthesis of HMFA via reductive amination of HMF.
