Abstract
A heterogeneous process for selectively producing monoamines in which the nitrogen is bonded only to methyl, ethyl, hydrogen or combinations thereof which comprises contacting a mixture of carbon monoxide, hydrogen and a nitrogen-containing compound selected from the group consisting of ammonia, nitric oxide and mixtures thereof with a heterogeneous solid catalyst comprising rhodium and iron. The monoamines of the invention are formed in a collective amount of at least 50 weight percent of the total amine products of the reaction.
