Aminated derivatives of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural are critical intermediates for the pharmaceutical industry. The state-of-the-art catalysts currently used for these syntheses are mostly homogeneous in nature, motivating the design of rec

5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) has recently attracted a significant amount of revived attention as a renewable building block for conversion to a wide range of useful derivatives. A simple procedure for the conversion of HMF to (5-alkyl- and 5-arylaminomethyl-furan-2-yl)methanol has now been developed. Reactions were conducted without the use of a catalyst and under very mild conditions. As a proof of concept, a small library of derivatives was produced from HMF and several aliphatic and aromatic amines in high yields and requiring only minimal purification. This route presents a novel way for the production of furan-based renewable building blocks. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2010.
