Notably, reaction conversions of 94 and 89% were achieved when using light-emitting diode (LED) light and sunlight, respectively, underscoring the potential for practical applications. Furthermore, the efficacy of this method is also highlighted in the efficient reduction of biomass-derived aldehydes.falseamine synthesis using natural sunlight | plasmonic catalysis | plasmonic nanoheaters | reductive amination of aldehydesArticle2574097016219-1622615 August 20250arJournal0WOS:001542699800001
