A Shortcut Route to Close Nitrogen Cycle: Bio-Based Amines Production via Selective Deoxygenation of Chitin Monomers over Ru/C in Acidic Solutions

Summary: Chitin, a long-chain polymer of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (NAG) and the most abundant natural nitrogen-containing organic material in the world, is far under-utilized than other biomass resources. Herein, we demonstrate a highly efficient deoxygenation process to convert chitin monomer, i.e.,...
