Huan Wang, Xin Li, Jibo Zhang

ABSTRACT:Aliphatic amine is an important intermediate of fine chemical industry. It is main used in pharmaceutical, foodstuff, cosmetics and fine chemicals industries. It has a variety of synthetic routes. The Progress in the hydro-amination of alcohols to aliphatic amines at home and abroad were reviewed in this paper. The reaction mechanism of alcohol amination process of fatty alcohols and several synthesis methods of aliphatic amines was introduced. The influence of aliphatic amines production was discussed such as catalyst type and process condition and so on. According to actual production status, we provide reference for the development of production process of alcohol amination.
