A new method for green production of 2-aminomethylpiperidine from bio-renewable 2,5-bis(aminomethyl)furan

A new method for synthesizing 2-aminomethylpiperidine by selective hydrogenolysis of bio-renewable 2,5-bis(aminomethyl)furan was developed. The yield of 2-aminomethylpiperidine can reach 72% under mild conditions at 140 °C and 1 MPa H 2 pressure.
