Electrochemical C–N coupling via adsorption modulation: selective synthesis of amines from biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural - Nature Communications

Abstract The electrochemical C–N coupling of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) with methylamine offers a promising sustainable route to value-added amines. However, achieving high selectivity remains challenging due to competing side reactions, including C = O hydrogenation and C–C dimerization. This paper describes tailoring the surface structure of Ag catalysts to modulate HMF adsorption and intermediate hydrogenation behavior and thus enhancing C–N coupling selectivity.
