SELECTIVE OXOAMINATION PROCESS

摘要

SELECTIVE OXOAMINATION PROCESS (73,915 -F) This invention concerns the synthesis of linear alkyl primary amines from .alpha.-olefins via an oxoamination process comprising (a) hydrogen and carbon monoxide addition to olefinic substrates to obtain aldehyde-containing compounds in the presence of ligand-stabilized platinum(II) halide catalysts with Group IVB metal halide cocatalysts, and (b) reductive amination of said aldehydic intermediates in the presence of oxide-supported, nickel catalysts.
