PROCESS FOR PREPARING A PRIMARY AMINE WITH A TERTIARY ALPHA CARBON ATOM BY REACTING A TERTIARY ALCOHOL WITH AMMONIA

摘要

A process for preparing a primary amine with a tertiary alpha carbon atom by reacting a tertiary alcohol with ammonia in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst, by performing the reaction in the presence of a nonmicroporous nonzeolitic aluminosilicate as a catalyst, said aluminosilicate having a molar Al/Si ratio in the range from 0.1 to 30.
