Abstract

Catalytic hydrogenation of a-aminonitriles has not led directly to primary diamines. Reduction has been accomplished only when at least one alkyl substituent has been present on the amino nitrogmZavb Yields as high as 50y0 have been obtained when a tertiary aminonitrile has been hydrogenated. 2a. c There are a few instances of better than average
