Abstract
Abstract A trialkylamine is prepared by contacting a dialkylamine with a liquid reaction medium containing a ruthenium, osmium, rhenium or technetium metal catalyst, preferably in complex association with a biphyllic ligand at a temperature of 50*-400* C. A typical reaction comprises contacting dibutylamine with ruthenium trichloride and triphenylphosphine to produce tributylamine and butylamine.
