Two‐step catalytic procedure to the production of 4‐propylcyclohexylamine from native birch lignocellulose. Step 1 (RCF procedure): 1000 mg birch wood, 150 mg Ru/C catalyst, 20 mL methanol, 220 °C, 30 bar H2, 18 h. Step 2 (amination procedure): 74 mg distilled monomers, 500 mg Raney Ni, 3 mL TAA, 7 bar NH3, 10 bar H2, 48 h. The GC yield values are shown in black while the isolated yield values are depicted in blue.
