Claims11
A process for forming an amine which comprises:
- reacting ammonia, a primary amine, or a secondary amine with an olefin, under conditions effective for forming said amine, in the presence of an effective amount of an organic acid catalyst wherein said organic acid catalyst is perfluorinated and has a Hammett acidity value no greater than about -10.
A process for aminating an olefin with ammonia, a primary amine or a secondary amine, which process comprises carrying out said amination in the presence of a perfluorinated organic solid cation exchange resin having a repeating structure of the general formula:
- ##STR2## where:
- n=15-20 and z=1 or 2
