Air stable and waterproof : Selective and efficient synthesis of primary amines directly from alcohols and ammonia is achieved under mild conditions (see scheme). The reaction is homogenously catalyzed by a novel air‐stable ruthenium pincer complex and can proceed in toluene or even in the absence of solvent or “on water”.
