Ammonia → Triallylamine

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, 3.6 mg of water and 9.1 mg (0.01 millimole) of tetramethyl hydroxide were added and reaction between 8.4 g (145 millimoles) of allyl alcohol and 4.6 g (271 millimoles) of ammonia was carried out at 110° C. with stirring for 2 hours. As the products, there were obtained 0.20 g (3.5 millimoles) of monoallylamine, 0.78 (8.0 millimoles) of diallylamine and 0.92 g (6.7 millimoles) of triallylamine. The conversion based on allyl alcohol was 29.8%, and the selectivity was 91.7%.
