Summary: The integration of electro and bio-catalysis offers new ways of making molecules under very mild, environmentally benign conditions. The combined process offers a new approach to amine alkylation with native alcohols, a key bond formation in the chemical economy that is currently achieved via precious metal-catalyzed hydrogen-borrowing technologies.

Summary: A powerful and practical approach to biomass-based amine, reductive amination of furfural (1a) to furfurylamine (2a), was developed using Ru catalyst (Ru/BNC) supported on boron/nitrogen co-doped carbon (BNC) with hydrous hydrazine (N2H4·H2O) as a nitrogen source and hydrazone as an intermediate. The Ru/BNC catalyst exhibited high efficiency and selectivity in promoting 1a/N2H4-to-2a transformation with a yield exceeding 99%.

Summary: Alpha-chiral primary amines are widely used in pharmaceutical molecules and provide a quick way to construct molecular complexity. However, there are few asymmetric chemo-catalytic reactions for directly preparing chiral primary amines. Ammonium salt-catalyzed asymmetric reductive amination (ARA) can directly yield chiral primary amines from prochiral ketones, but this reaction faces several challenges.

Summary: Cyclic primary amines are important building blocks in many chemicals and pharmaceuticals. A powerful catalytic strategy was developed to convert guaiacol into cyclohexylamine with high yield. The method can also be applied to other types of guaiacols. It was found that crude bio-oil from birch lignocellulose can be transformed into a product mixture rich in 4-propylcyclohexylamine.

Summary: The combination of biocatalysis and transition-metal catalysis can bridge synthetic gaps in chemical or biological processes, but the deactivation between enzymatic and chemical species poses a significant challenge. Researchers developed an encapsulated Au/carbene and free amine dehydrogenase co-catalyst system, enabling efficient hydration/amination enantioselective cascade reaction.

Summary: Optically pure lactams have a wide range of applications, including the synthesis of agricultural bioactive compounds and pharmaceuticals. This study presents a two-step chemo-enzymatic strategy for the efficient stereoselective synthesis of chiral lactams using a natural amine dehydrogenase that has been engineered through directed evolution. The engineered enzyme showed improved activity and high stereoselectivity in the synthesis of gamma- and delta- lactams, indicating its potential as an efficient biocatalyst for the production of valuable chiral lactams.

Summary: This Review focuses on the one-pot synthesis of sustainable primary amines by catalytic reductive amination of bio-based carbonyl compounds with NH3 and H-2. It discusses the use of both precious and non-precious metals as catalysts, along with different supports and solvent systems. The review also explores the role of acidic and basic supports on the yield of the primary amines. Overall, it provides valuable insights into the design and development of efficient catalysts for selective reductive amination of various carbonyl compounds to corresponding amines.

Summary: This study found that the combination of blended amine with solid acid catalysts is an effective solution for reducing the energy cost of CO2 desorption in the amine scrubbing process. Among the different combinations tested, the 0.2 + 1 + 3 mol/L MEA + EAE + AMP with HND-8 catalyst demonstrated the best performance, providing an energy-efficient solution for CO2 absorption and desorption in industrial CO2 capture pilot plants.
