Abstract

Metal catalyzed reactions of amines are very well documented in the literature 1 which are part of industrially and academically important strategies. Ammonia, a primary source of nitrogen is an abundant and inexpensive source of nitrogen. 2 Substituted ammonia has great importance in pharmaceutical industry and other branches of industry. 3 Hence, there is great interest in using ammonia as a reagent for transformations leading to alkyl/aryl amines. Generally, ...
