The facile synthesis of valuable primary and secondary amines is reported using a sequential procedure of hydroaminomethylation and Pd-catalyzed hydrogenolysis. The hydroaminomethylation reaction was catalyzed by a cationic Rh(I) iminopyridyl complex and the N-alkylated benzylamines were produced with high chemoselectivity, albeit as mixtures of linear and branched products. Performing the hydrogenolysis reaction using 10% Pd/C, provided access to valuable primary and secondary amines which have applications in the surfactant, pharmaceutical and polymer industries.
