Process for the production of secondary amine terminated polyethers and their use.

摘要

Secondary amine terminated polyethers are produced by the reaction of primary amine terminated polyethers with a carbonyl compound in the presence of hydrogen and a catalyst composition comprising (i) nickel (ii) ruthenium and (iii) at least one other second or third row transition metal. High yields of secondary amine products are obtained suitable for polyurethane manufacture.
