Abstract
•Intermolecular alcohol amination is accomplished with ruthenium on hydroxyapatite.•No base additives or pretreatments are required.•The catalyst is heterogeneous, as proven by hot filtration.•Both aromatic and aliphatic amines are alkylated with benzyl alcohol or 1-octanol.
The intermolecular amination of alcohols was performed with ruthenium (Ru3+) immobilized on a calcium hydroxyapatite support. No additional base additives were necessary, nor did the catalyst require base treatment prior to reaction. High conversions were obtained with different amine and alcohol reactants.
