The synthesis and functionalization of imines and amines are key steps in the preparation of many fine chemicals and for pharmaceuticals in particular. Traditionally, metal complexes are used as homogeneous catalysts for these organic transformations. Here we report gold-palladium and ruthenium-palladium nano-alloys supported on TiO2acting as highly efficient heterogeneous catalysts for the one-pot synthesis of the imine N-benzylideneaniline and the secondary amine N-benzylaniline directly from the easily available and stable nitrobenzene and benzyl alcohol precursors using a hydrogen auto-transfer strategy. These reactions were carried out without any added external hydrogen, sacrificial hydrogen donor or a homogeneous base. The bimetallic catalysts were prepared by the recently developed modified impregnation strategy, giving efficient control of size and nano-alloy composition. Both bimetallic catalysts were found to be far more active than their monometallic analogues due to a synergistic effect. Based on the turnover numbers the catalytic activities follow the order Ru
