The synthesis of asymmetric secondary amines (ASA) is commonly achieved by N-alkylation of primary amines with alcohols. Here, we investigated the ASA synthesis via the direct amination of alcohols with nitriles, which avoids the synthesis, separation and purification of the primary amines in a first step. Specifically, the ASA synthesis via N-alkylation of butyronitrile (BN) with primary (n-propanol, iso-butanol and n-octanol) and secondary (2‐propanol, 2‐butanol and 2‐octanol) alcohols was studied on SiO2-supported Co, Ni and Ru catalysts. Competitive BN hydrogenation‐condensation reactions formed dibutylamine (the symmetric secondary amine) and tertiary amines as main secondary products. On Co/SiO2, the ASA selectivities for BN/primary alcohol reactions were between 49 and 58% at complete BN conversion, forming dibutylamine and tertiary amines as byproducts. For BN/secondary alcohol reactions, Co/SiO2 formed selectively (ASA + dibutylamine) mixtures containing 78–85% of ASA, thereby showing that the alcohol amination with nitriles is an attractive alternative route for the synthesis of valuable asymmetric secondary amines.

The invention relates to a production method of N-ethyl-n-butylamine. According to the production method, n-butanol and monoethylamine are taken as raw materials; a supported non-noble metal catalyst is used under hydrogen conditions; and amination synthe

Under (not so much) pressure: A general method for the hydrogenation of tertiary and secondary amides to amines with excellent selectivity using a bimetallic Pd-Re catalyst has been developed. The reaction proceeds under low pressure and comparatively low temperature. This method provides organic chemists with a simple and reliable tool for the synthesis of amines. Copyright
