Chementator: A palladium catalyst makes primary amines in aqueous NH3

| By Edited by Gerald Ondrey

Primary amines are made in high yield by a palladium-catalyzed allylic amination reaction developed by Shu Kobayashi, a chemistry professor at the University of Tokyo (Japan; www.chem.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp.). The reaction uses aqueous ammonia as the nitrogen…
