Prepn. of amines of formula R<5>R<6>CH-CR<3>R<4>-NR<1>R<2> (I) (where R<1-6> = H, 1-20 C alkyl, 2-20 C alkenyl, 2-8 C alkynyl, 3-20 C cycloalkyl, 4-20 C alkyl-cycloalkyl, 4-20 C cycloalkyl-alkyl, aryl, 7-20 C alkylaryl or 7-20 C aralkyl; R<1>R<2> may be an (un)satd. 3-9 C alkylene di-chain; and R<3> or R<5> = 21-200 C alk(en)yl or R<3>R<5> = a 2-12 C alkylene di-chain) comprises reacting olefins of formula R<5>R<6>C=CR<3>R<4> (II) with NH3 or prim. or sec. amines of formula HNR<1>R<2> (III) at 200-350 degrees C and 100-300 bar, using Al-BETA-zeolites, free from transition metal and prepd. without halogen treatment, as zeolitic catalyst. |
