Ni-based catalysts present a highly interesting performance for the reductive amination of cyclohexanol (CHOL). The stability of a commercial Ni-based catalyst was evaluated and a high stability over the tested time-on-stream (TOS) was observed. The reaction network was evaluated by analysis of selectivity profiles as a function of CHOL conversion. The formation of cyclohexylamine (CHA) was found to be consistent with the proposed borrowing hydrogen method (BHM). The formation of heavy-end (HE) by-products also follows the BHM pathway as parallel reaction. The effect of individual molar proportions of NH3 and H-2 was evaluated. It was found that when H-2 is present in a high excess, side reactions were favored, but its presence is mandatory towards keeping the catalyst active.
