Hydroxyl group was aminated via Ritter reaction followed by direct reductive amination of aldehyde group. For the Ritter reaction of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural, mixture of trifluoromethane sulfonic acid and phosphoric anhydride showed good performance and the intermediate N-acyl-5-aminomethyl furfural with the highest yield of 89.1 wt% was obtained.Optimization of direct reductive amination of 2,5-bis（aminomethyl） furan was conducted and a yield of45.7 wt% was achieved. This study presents a simple way for preparing bis（amino）furans from renewable biomass based 5-hydroxymethyl furfural, which enriches the biorefinery concept from biomass.展开更多
