Participants

Reaction Steps

In a flask as described in Example 1, 1000 g 2-phenylpropanal are reacted in the presence of 90 g of a commercially available nickel containing carrier catalyst (containing about 52 to 53% by weight nickel, and employing chromium (3)-oxide as activator) at a temperature of 130°, with a total of 300 l ammonia and hydrogen (volume ratio 1 : 1) during a reaction time of 2 hours. After termination of the reaction, the catalyst is separated by filtration. 921 g 2-phenylpropylidene-2-phenylpropylamine are obtained.
