Abstract: The present invention involves the catalytic amination of olefins with ammonia, a primary amine, or a secondary amine using a perfluorinated organic acid catalyst.

Abstract: There is provided a process for the addition of a secondary aliphatic amine to myrcene or an 8-substituted myrcene and isomerization to a dialkyl 1,3-dienamine. The process is liquid phase and employs an excess of the amine relative to myrcene or substituted myrcene. The catalyst is an alkali metal amide anion formed from the amine.

Abstract: An aminomethylation reaction is disclosed wherein polymeric polyamines are produced. Polymeric polyolefins such as polybutadiene, ammonia, primary or secondary amines, and synthesis gas are reacted in the presence of a catalyst system comprising a ruthenium-containing catalyst, such as triruthenium dodecacarbonyl, and dimethyl formamide as a solvent.The use of a two-phase solvent mixture consisting of N,N-dimethylformamide plus a hydrocarbon is particularly advantageous in that:(1) The aminomethylation selectivity is improved and few side reactions results;(2) The two-phase liquid product mixture obtained, allows easy separation of product polyamine from ruthenium-containing catalyst.

Abstract: Aliphatic and aromatic amines are produced by reacting an olefin with either ammonia or a primary or secondary amine in the presence of a catalytic amount of ruthenium or iron compound catalyst. The reaction is carried out in the liquid phase using an inert liquid, a product amine, or one of the reactants as a solvent. The temperatures used are 100.degree. to 250.degree. C. and the pressures are at least autogenous and up to 12,000 psig.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improvement in the vapor phase catalytic production of an amine by the reaction of a mixture comprising an olefin having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms and ammonia or ammonia type compound. The improvement which provides for high selectivity to the amine resides in the use of an alumino silicate as the catalyst.

Abstract: Monolefins such as ethylene are reacted with ammonia using alkali metal amide catalysts such as cesium or rubidium amides, or low melting mixtures of amides such as cesium/potassium, cesium/sodium or sodium/potassium amides. Conversions are improved compared to reactions using sodium or potassium amide alone. Conversions of ethylene are improved also when liquid ammonia is present.

Abstract: A process for the telomerization of dienes with a telomerizing compound containing a mobile hydrogen atom is disclosed wherein the reaction between the diene and the telomerizing agent is effected in the presence of a catalytic system comprising a water-soluble sulfonated triaryl phosphine compound, preferably a water-soluble salt of a mono-, di-, or trisulfonated triphenyl phosphine and a transition metal compound, preferably palladium or a palladium-containing compound. Water is added either before or after the reaction is completed and the reaction products can easily be separated from the aqueous catalyst solution.
