We disclose in this study a Ni<sub>6</sub>AlO <sub><i>x</i></sub> catalyst prepared by coprecipitation for the reductive amination of biomass-derived aldehydes and ketones in aqueous ammonia under mild reaction conditions. The catalyst exhibited 99% yield toward 5-aminomethyl-2-furylmethanol in the reaction of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural with ammonia at 100 °C for 6 h under 1 bar H<sub>2</sub>. The catalyst was further extended to the reductive amination of a library of aromatic and aliphatic aldeh ...[more]
