摘要

Amino group immobilized on polyvinyl alcohol catalyzed, rapid, chemoselective and practical N-formylation of amines using formic acid under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst was found to be compatible with different functional groups and the N-formylation proceeded smoothly with amines bearing electron withdrawing as well as electron donating substituents. The process is remarkably simple and environmentally benign. The catalyst can be easily recovered and reused at least four times without any decrease in its high catalytic activity.
