Abstract

Amines are prepared from an olefin and ammonia or a primary or secondary amine, or a mixture of these, in the presence of a borosilicate or borogermanate zeolite of the pentasil type as a catalyst, by a process in which the amine obtained is isolated from the reaction mixture, and unreacted starting materials are recycled.
