PROCESS FOR THE DIRECT AMINATION OF ALCOHOLS USING AMMONIA TO FORM PRIMARY AMINES BY MEANS OF A XANTPHOS CATALYST SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a chemocatalytic liquid-phase process for the direct one-stage amination of alcohols to primary amines by means of ammonia in high yields using a catalyst system containing at least one transition metal compound and a xantphos ligand.
