Bio-based primary amines represent highly valuable compounds since they can be used as building blocks for various applications. During this project we are intending to design a series of well-defined homogeneous catalysts capable of performing the one-pot amination of bio-based polyols using the borrowing hydrogen methodology. The amination reaction will be performed using ammonia as nitrogen source. The use of the one-pot borrowing hydrogen strategy will provide water as only by-product, allowing this project to meet the requirement of a simple eco-compatible method. This project will be carried out at IC2MP (Institut de Chimie des Milieux et Matériaux de Poitiers).
