Abstract Cobalt phthalocyanine has been employed for the highly chemoselective reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones in ethanol as a green solvent. A large range of functional groups such as nitro, acid, amide, ester, nitrile, halogen, lactone, methoxy, hydroxy, alkene, N ‐benzyl, O ‐benzyl and heterocyclic rings were well tolerated under the present reaction conditions.
