Abstract

Abstract: The reductive amination of a series of aldehydes with secondary amines and H2 in the presence of a homogeneous Rh-diphosphane catalyst was studied in order to establish a general mechanism of this reaction and to identify conditions for the improvement of the amine/alcohol ratio in the product. Several possible intermediates as constituents of changing equilibria like half-aminals, N, O-acetals and aminals were observed in the ...
