REDUCTIVE ALKYLATION
Reductive Alkylation of amines involves the formation of imine intermediates with carbonyl compounds, which on hydrogenation, result in an alkyl group being added to the amine. Also known as reductive amination of carbonyl compounds, this reaction plays an important role in specialty chemical, pharmaceutical, and medicinal chemistry. Applied Catalysts offer catalysts, services, and systems for reductive alkylation.
01
How Our Reductive Alkylation Services Help You
The reductive alkylation of amines with aldehydes under Hydrogen is another part of the process chemical toolkit to create chemically-upgraded intermediates to higher-value products. Primary amines and secondary amines can have alkyl groups added by reductive alkylation.
02
Pain Points We Solve
Applied Catalysts can assist you with the selection of catalysts for the selective reductive alkylation of amine substrates, run these processes at our lab and show tube scale, and deliver modular systems at commercial scale.
