Participants

Reaction Steps

To 1.8 mg (0.01 millimole) of PdCl2 was added 8.5 mg (0.02 millimole) of 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane, and 5.0 g of 1,3-propane-diol and 3.6 g of water were added and reaction between 8.4 g (145 millimoles) of allyl alcohol and 3.2 g (188 millimoles) of ammonia was carried out at 110° C. with stirring for 2 hours. As the products, there were obtained 0.26 g (4.6 millimoles) of monoallylamine, 0.53 g (5.4 millimoles) of diallylamine 0.63 g (4.6 millimoles) of triallylamine. The conversion based on allyl alcohol was 21.5% and the selectivity was 96.8%.
