Abstract
Abstract 2,5-Tetrahydrofurandimethanol (THFDM) was selectively transformed into 8-oxa-3-azabicyclo[3.2.1] octane (OABCO), a valuable building block for the synthesis of bioactive molecules, via one-pot aminocyclization with ammonia catalyzed by Pt/NiCuAlOx. Under optimized conditions (200 °C, 6–16 h, 0.5 MPa hydrogen, 0.4 MPa ammonia), the OABCO yield reached 58% with 100% THFDM conversion.
