Abstract
The present invention concerns a process for forming a primary or a secondary amine via amination reaction comprising: reacting an alcohol with an amine in the presence of a zeolite comprising a transition metal chosen in the group consisting of Group 8 to 12 elements of the Periodic Table and any combination thereof.
Claims15
A process for forming a primary or a secondary amine, comprising reacting:
- A first reactant having 5-30 carbon atoms and one or two primary hydroxyl functionalities, with
- A second reactant being NH3 or a reactant having primary amine functionality,
- in the presence of at least one zeolite comprising a transition metal selected from the group consisting of Ru, Rh, Pd, and any combination thereof, and
- wherein the reaction is conducted on a gas-liquid-solid tri-phase reactor connected with a condense column and a collection tank, and wherein the gas pressure is from 0 barg to 10 barg.
