Heterogeneously catalysed synthesis of primary amines by direct amination of alcohols with ammonia has long been an elusive goal. In contrast to reported Ru-based catalytic systems, we report that Ru-MgO/TiO<sub>2</sub> acts as an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the direct amination of a variety of alcohols to primary amines at low temperatures of <i>ca.</i> 100 °C without the introduction of H<sub>2</sub> gas. The present system could be applied to a variety of alcohols and provides an eff ...[more]
