Process for the preparation of tertiary amines from primary amines and nitriles

Disclosed is a method for preparing tertiary amine compounds having the formula (I), from primary amines and nitriles in the presence of hydrogen gas and a metal catalyst, or metal-containing catalyst composition, at a temperature from about 50 DEG C to about 200 DEG C and at a pressure from about 1...

More Information
Summary:Disclosed is a method for preparing tertiary amine compounds having the formula (I), from primary amines and nitriles in the presence of hydrogen gas and a metal catalyst, or metal-containing catalyst composition, at a temperature from about 50 DEG C to about 200 DEG C and at a pressure from about 100 psig to 1500 psig. The primary amines and the nitriles used in the process may be diamines and/or dinitriles, or may be combinations of primary amines and/or nitriles. Also disclosed are novel tertiary amine compounds having the structures (VI), (VII), and (VIII), made by the described method.
