Reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones catalyzed by deep eutectic solvent using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent

Different derivatives of aldehydes/ketones were subjected under reductive amination reaction in the presence of ChCl/Urea as a green and biocompatible catalyst. Sodium borohydride was used as a reducing agent. Secondary amines were achieved with high selectivities and yields. (c) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
