Title:
SELECTIVE MANUFACTURE OF SECONDARY AND TERTIARY ARALKYLAMINES
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS60116652
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Secondary and tertiary aralkylamines can be prepared with good yield and selectivity by reacting an aromatic vinylic olefin, a nitrogen-containing compound, and synthesis gas comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen (or in an alternative embodiment, CO and H2O), in the presence of a catalyst comprising a ruthenium-containing compound and an amide solvent at a temperature of at least 100 DEG C and a pressure of at least 1.45 MPa. Linear products are obtained preferentially under these conditions, but when a quarternary phosphonium compound is added, branched products are also obtained in good yields.
