Abstract

Hydroaminomethylation of terminal as well as internal aliphatic and aromatic olefins with various amines is described in the presence of [Rh (cod)(Imes) Cl] as a catalyst. In general good to excellent yields and high chemoselectivity were obtained in THF at 85–105° C using 0.1 mol% of catalyst.
