Claims
- 1. The process of producing N-(alkadienyl)amines by reaction of conjugated dienes and ammonia or amines having from one to about 20 carbon atoms in a hydroxylic solvent medium in the presence of a catalyst comprising a palladium compound co-catalyzed with a polymeric phosphonite ligand, said phosphonite ligand comprising a phosphonite polymerized with polyvinyl alcohol.
- 2. The process of claim 1 in which the conjugated diene has from 4 to about 6 carbon atoms.
- 3. The process of claim 1 in which the conjugated diene is butadiene.
- 4. The process of claim 1 in which the conjugated diene is reacted with ammonia.
- 5. The process of claim 1 in which butadiene is reacted with ammonia.
- 6. The process of claim 1 in which the hydroxylic solvent is methanol.
- 7. The process of claim 1 in which the palladium compound is a salt of palladium and a readily replaceable anion.
- 8. The process of claim 1 in which the palladium compound is palladium acetate.
- 9. The process of claim 1 in which the phosphonite ligand is a polymer of polyvinyl alcohol and a dialkyl arylphosphonite having from about one to about four carbon atoms in the alkyl group.
- 10. The process of claim 9 in which the dialkyl arylphosphonite is diethylphenylphosphonite.
- 11. The process of claim 1 in which the conjugated diene is reacted with amine selected from the group consisting of morpholine, diethanolamine and ethanolamine.
- 12. The process of claim 1 in which butadiene is reacted with amine selected from the group consisting of morpholine, diethanolamine and ethanolamine.
- 13. The process of claim 1 in which butadiene is reacted with ammonia or an amine selected from the group consisting of morpholine, diethanolamine and ethanolamine, and in which the phosphonite ligand is a polymer of polyvinyl alcohol and diethylphenylphosphonite, the palladium compound is palladium acetate and the hydroxylic solvent is methanol.
