Abstract

N-substituted furfuryl amines are an important class of compounds due to their pharmaceutical activities that can be produced by reductive amination of furfuraldehydes derived from biomass. With supported Pd nanoparticles it is possible to obtain high activities and selectivities for the production of secondary amines. CO adsorption monitored by IR shows the importance of the Pd crystal size and crystal face on catalyst activity and selectivity. When using Pd on carbon the amount of unsaturated Pd sites is very much enhanced with the corresponding increase in selectivity. The role of carbon deposition on metal terraces on catalytic selectivity is discussed. The optimized catalyst has been successfully applied in the reductive amination of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural with different amines and ammonia as well as in the one-pot reductive amination starting from nitrobenzene instead of aniline, giving the different N-substituted-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furfuryl amines with excellent activity and selectivity.

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Acs Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering due to its progression and the good impact it has achieved in recent years, according to the agency WoS (JCR), it has become a reference in its field. In the year of publication of the work, 2019, it was in position 8/143, thus managing to position itself as a Q1 (Primer Cuartil), in the category Engineering, Chemical. Notably, the journal is positioned above the 90th percentile.

From a relative perspective, and based on the normalized impact indicator calculated from World Citations provided by WoS (ESI, Clarivate), it yields a value for the citation normalization relative to the expected citation rate of: 1.94. This indicates that, compared to works in the same discipline and in the same year of publication, it ranks as a work cited above average. (source consulted: ESI Nov 13, 2025)

This information is reinforced by other indicators of the same type, which, although dynamic over time and dependent on the set of average global citations at the time of their calculation, consistently position the work at some point among the top 50% most cited in its field:

  • Weighted Average of Normalized Impact by the Scopus agency: 2.61 (source consulted: FECYT Mar 2025)

Specifically, and according to different indexing agencies, this work has accumulated citations as of 2025-12-06, the following number of citations:

  • WoS: 71
  • Scopus: 64

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-12-06:

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 69 (PlumX).
