Reaction Steps

A mixture of 104 parts of 1,4-dioxane (inert solvent), 5.6 parts of dimethylamine and 0.363 parts (0.11 mol/mol C2H4) of [Ru(NH3)4 (OH)Cl]Cl.2H2O were placed in a 300 ml stainless steel autoclave. The autoclave was pressured with 200 psig of ethylene. A total of 0.12 parts of dimethylethylamine and 2.1 parts of diethylmethylamine were obtained corresponding to a conversion of 21% and a combined yield of 99% (based on dimethylamine).
