Abstract : The catalytic reductive amination of levulinic acid (LA) into pyrrolidones with an iridium catalyst using H2 as hydrogen source is reported. The chemoselective iridium catalyst displayed high efficiency for the synthesis of a variety of N-substituted 5-methyl-2-pyrrolidones and N-arylisoindolinones. N-Substituted 5-methyl-2-pyrrolidone was evaluated as a bio-sourced substitute solvent to NMP (N-Methyl-pyrrolidone) in the catalytic arylation of 2-phenylpyridine.
