temperature, the autoclave was heated to 165 °C for 15 h with
vigorous stirring (700–800 rpm) without reintroducing NH3 After
cooling to the room temperature, the pressurized NH3 gas in the
autoclave was released in a fume hood. An aliquot of the reaction
mixture was taken for the GC analysis, and the conversion of 1-
octanol and the yield of amine products were calculated based on
GC area %.
