No idea, off the top of my head, but there is at least a partial agonist fent derivative that I can toss out there. Mirfentanil.

Is platinum oxide a watched chemical?

Not on any list, and platinum and palladium are easily available OTC with five nines purity in the form of bullion.

Catalyst preparation will be extra work but should be nothing new.

When you have HOCH2CH2CH2CH2CHO (Hydroxyl group on one and aldehyde group o other) in acid media
you get lactol (a cyclic hemicacetal)

But what do you get when you have carboxylic acid group instead of aldehyde!?
For example HOCH2CH2CH2CH2COOH

(I don't care if it's possible,we are speaking about theory here.)

You might get a lactone:

Is there any chance decomposition could occurs if I have a post-reaction Acidic Al/Hg containing a primary amine with a MD bridge mixture lying around for a few days? I'm a bit worried because of the low pH of the solution...In case you're wondering, I just don't have time to do the workup until a couple of days because of school...

Is there a way to use aluminium for reductive amination without mercury? I didn't find anything on the net...

I think its clear the OP wants to make the process easier, not harder

Question is: Is it possible?
Definitely!

Is it easy!?

By definition in chemistry an amalgam is a combination involving mercury.

Aluminium in conc.Sodium hydroxide aqueous solution for making H2 gas ?  :D

I doubt bulling H2 gas in a Reductive Amination should be enough though...

He didn't mention amalgam,just reductive amination.

Al/Hg Amalgamation.

HgCl2 solutions are acidic and attack the Al2O3 surface oxide on the Al metal.
pH of 4.7 approx. Also reported a pH of 3.2 for a 0.2 M HgCl2 solution. (Ref. Merck 11th Ed. pg 924)

2Al + 3 HgCl2 ==> 2 AlCl3 (aq) + 3 Hg (solid)
2 AlCl3 (aq) + 3 H2O ==> Al2O3 + 6 HCl

This is why it's important to wash the AMALGAMATE, to remove any HgCl2 and HCl.

3 Hg deposits onto the freshly cleaned surface of Al forming greyish-black spots.

Al-Hg is Al dissolved in the Hg metal forming the amalgamation. Basically it can be written as such. [Al/Hg] <==> [Al(+3) + 3e / Hg]

Since Hg has high overvolts, and Al is more electrochemically reactive the "Dissolved Al" as [Al(+3) + 3e / Hg] reacts with water forming H2 and Al2O3 (hydrated form) at the surface site of Hg. This Hg surface site is were imines and H2 combine electrochemically.

Hg acts as a conductive medium, dissolving more Al(solid) and forming [Al(+3) + 3e / Hg] amalgamation as dissolved [Al(+3) + 3e] reacts with water.

Basic overall reaction: 2Al + 3 H2O ==> 3 H2 + Al2O3


Al(solid) ==> [Al(+3) + 3e / Hg] ==> 2 Al(+3) + 3e + 3 H2O ==> 3 H2 + Al2O3

In Vogel 5th Ed, pg 415-416, the aluminium surface is first cleaned with 10% sodium hydroxide solution so the amalgamation, 2Al + 3 HgCl2 ==> 2 AlCl3 (aq) + 3 Hg (solid) can proceed more efficiently to [Al/Hg] <==> [Al(+3) + 3e / Hg].

Sorry bout that, I read it wrong.  Here's a section from a book covering reductive amination.

What about NaCl/CuSO4? I believe someone at hyperlab had a success with that.
