We have designed a stepwise synthesis of 2,5-bis(aminomethyl)tetrahydrofuran (BAMTHF) by reductive amination of biomass-derived mono-acetalized 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) using Co2P nanorod (NR) catalyst and its subsequent hydrogenation with hydrotalcite (HT) supported Rh catalyst. BAMTHF is a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of epoxy resins, pharmaceuticals, nylon 66-type polymers and so on. Consecutive amination of the free formyl group and the six-membered ring acetal in DFF with Co2P NR gave 2,5-bis(aminomethyl)furan (BAMF) in a high yield (>90%). The ring hydrogenation of BAMF with Rh/HT affords BAMTHF in 85% yield at room temperature under 0.5 MPa H2 pressure.
