摘要

A method of producing 1:2 amine-diene adducts which method comprises contacting a sterically unhindered amine with a 1,3 diene in the presence of a catalytic amount of a catalyst comprising an olefin-palladium complex preferably of the type X-Pd-X where X is an olefin and Pd is palladium in its zero valent state.
