Homogeneous cobalt-catalyzed reductive amination for synthesis of functionalized primary amines

Despite their higher abundance, 3d metal-based catalysts are less investigated than their precious metal counterparts. Here, the authors report a cobalt-triphos complex as molecularly-defined non-noble metal catalyst for the reductive amination of carbonyl compounds with gaseous ammonia and hydrogen...
