This paper reports the continuous reductive amination of different molecules, including biomass‐related compounds, over carbon‐supported FeNi nanoparticles obtained on the basis of inexpensive and abundant metal precursors and cellulose. A biorefinery case study for the preparation of pyrrolidones via acid‐catalyzed hydrolysis of glucose followed by reductive amination of the obtained levulinic acid is described.
