PRODUCTION OF SECONDARY AMINE AND CATALYST COMPOSITION USED THEREFOR

摘要

PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF SECONDARY AMINES AND CATALYST COMPOSITIONS FOR USE IN SUCH PROCESS The invention provides processes for the preparation of secondary amines which comprise reacting ammonia or a primary amine with carbon monoxide, hydrogen and an olefinic compound in the presence of a catalyst composition comprising a source of cationic rhodium, a source of an anion other than a halide, and, as support, a polymer of a N-heterocyclic compound; and catalyst compositions suitable for use in the preparation of secondary amines.
