Abstract

By comparison of the hydrodenitrogenation rate of amylamine with those of neopentylamine and tert-amylamine over a conventional catalyst, it was evidenced that the hydrogen atoms of the carbon in the β position with respect to the nitrogen atom participate in the C-N bond cleavage. A detailed mechanism including the interaction with the catalyst is proposed for this reaction.
