PROCESS FOR THE DIRECT AMINATION OF ALCOHOLS USING AMMONIA TO FORM PRIMARY AMINES BY MEANS OF A XANTPHOS CATALYST SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a chemocatalytic liquid-phase process for the direct single-stage amination of alcohols to primary amines using ammonia in high yields by means of a catalyst system containing at least one transition metal compound and a xantphos ligand.
