Abstract

A process for the production of unsaturated primary amines which comprises reacting, in the substantial absence of molecular oxygen, an amine having the formula (R.sub.1 HC=CR.sub.2 CH.sub.2)m N H (3-m), wherein m is 2 or 3 and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are hydrogen or C.sub.1 - C.sub.3 alkyl groups, with ammonia in the presence of a catalyst comprising palladium or platinum atoms bearing phosphorus-containing ligands, the reaction being carried out at a temperature of from 0.degree. to 250.degree. C in the presence of a solvent for the amine and the catalyst.
