Abstract

Abstract Dodecacarbonyltriruthenium (Ru 3 (CO) 12) is an effective homogeneous catalyst precursor for the carbonylation of amines and hydroamidation of olefins under a carbon monoxide pressure of 40 kg cm− 2 at 120–180 C. By the carbonylation of benzylamine, N- benzylformamide was obtained in 77% yield. 1-Octene was hydroamidated with benzylamine to N-benzylnonanamide in 67% yield (the selectivity to its linear isomer was ...
