The First Efficient Hydroaminomethylation with Ammonia: With Dual Metal Catalysts and Two-Phase Catalysis to Primary Amines.
Primary and unbranched secondary amines are obtained by the highly selective hydroaminomethylation of olefins with ammonia [Eq. (a)]. The selectivity is readily controlled with a new dual Rh/Ir catalyst in a two-phase system.
