    Description

    General description

    Ammonium formate is an ammonium salt of formic acid. It is a cheap and promising N-formylating agent for various amines (secondary and aniline).[3] Its anhydrous form may be employed as a catalyst for the synthesis of various amino derivatives from aliphatic and aromatic compounds.[1]
    Ammonium formate can be used as a source to produce ammonia.[7] It can also be used in the reductive alkylation of amines.[6]

    Application

    Ammonium formate may be employed in the following studies:
    • Deprotection of N-benzyl derivatives of amino acids and amines to afford free amino acids and amines.[2]
    • Conversion of α, β-unsaturated nitroalkenes to the corresponding oximes.[4]
    • Preparation of nitriles.[5]
