Aminomethylation of olefins which employs a homogeneous catalyst which is a solution in a suitable solvent of mixed ruthenium and iron carbonyls. The overall reaction may be represented as follows: <IMAGE> +TR <IMAGE> where R1 and R2 are hydrogen or essentially hydrocarbon groups. The reaction proceeds by way of an aldehyde intermediate. Accordingly, the starting material may be an aldehyde instead of an olefin.
