Significance

An Al2O3-supported ruthenium ­hydroxide catalyst (Ru(OH)x/Al2O3) promoted the reaction of primary alcohols 1 or aldehydes 2 with ammonia to give the corresponding nitriles 3 in 65-96% yield (from 1, 13 examples; from 2, 7 ­examples). No leaching of ruthenium was observed by ICP-AES analysis after the reaction.
