Tertiary amines may be prepared by reacting an olefinic compound, carbon monoxide, hydrogen and a heterocyclic compound containing at least one nitrogen atom which possesses at least one hydrogen atom in the presence of a rhodium- or ruthenium-containing catalyst at temperatures in the range of from about 50 DEG to about 350 DEG C. and a pressure in the range of from about 10 to about 300 atmospheres. The reaction may be exemplified by reacting undecene, carbon monoxide, hydrogen and morpholine in the presence of rhodium chloride to prepare N-dodecylmorpholine.
