Abstract

Preparation of alkylamines, where, in a first process stage, an olefin is reacted with ammonia, a primary amine and/or a secondary amine under hydroaminating conditions, and then, in a second process stage, the resulting hydroamination product(s) is/are reacted under transalkylating conditions.
