Abstract

Abstract An efficient, cost-effective use of Raney nickel (R-Ni) a widely used industrial catalyst for N-alkylation using alcohols is highlighted here. The work describes the scope and capability of R-Ni in hydrogen autotransfer reactions enabling its widespread use in the Chemical and Pharmaceutical industry. R-Ni of W4, T4, and W7 grades were prepared and evaluated for alkylation of amines. The best activity and selectivity for mono alkylation of ...
