Selective one-pot synthesis of secondary and tertiary amines via rhodium catalysed reduction and multiple alkylation of aromatic nitro compounds under hydroformylation conditions

摘要

Secondary and tertiary amines are selectively prepared in high yields by a one-pot reduction / multiple alkylation procedure from aromatic nitro compounds with styrenes, cyclic olefins or heterofunctionalised olefins, carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of [Rh(cod)Cl](2) as catalyst.
