Abstract

The Leuckart-Wallach reaction paths were investigated by means of catalytic reduction in the Leuckart-Wallach reaction system and on the basis of analogous formic acid reductions. It was determined that, in the early stage of the Leuckart-Wallach reaction, ammonia, amine and also formamide undergo addition reactions to carbonyl compounds. The addition of formamide catalyzed by formic acid plays a significant role only for the more reactive ...
