Secondary amines play a very important role in today's chemical industry owing to their extensive applications in agricultural, pharmaceutical, textile, polymer and in personal care fields [1] Unfortunately, most of the amine synthesis processes at the industrial level are fossil-based and imply economic and environmental problems. However, the heterogeneously catalyzed reductive amination of lignin-derived phenolics has been recognized as an efficient and ecofriendly method for the synthesis of primary or higher order amines [2]. In this sense, metal-supported catalysts, specifically palladium, and rhodium-based materials, have demonstrated their effectivity to produce secondary amines [3,4].

The validation of protocols for carrying out the experimental analysis of amination reactions is of paramount importance to enhance the scientific knowledge and reproducibility of results. Accordingly, in the present paper, a protocol has been proposed for the study of the amination of cyclohexanone-to-secondary amines (Diphenylamine and N-Cyclohexylaniline) over heterogeneous catalysts. The results of activity and selectivity, and the elucidation of a plausible reaction pathway were described in a parent paper.

The preparation of copper-based heterogeneous catalysts dedicated to the hydrogenation of CO to methanol typically relies on multi-step procedures carried out in batch. These steps are precisely tailored to introduce the active phase (Cu) and the promoters (e. g.
