A two-step process in the reductive amination of biomass-derived mono-acetalized 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) was designed to selectively produce 2,5-bis(aminomethyl)furan (BAMF), where the highly reactive formyl groups of DFF was protected with a stable six-membered ring acetal. Consecutive amination of the free formyl group and the six-membered ring acetal in DFF to amine groups with Co₂P nanorod catalysts gave BAMF in a high yield (> 90%).
