Abstract

Abstract: The homogenously rhodium‐catalyzed reductive amination of 1‐undecanal was performed in two different thermomorphic solvent systems with the ligand Xantphos. The influences of partial pressure, temperature, methanol and catalyst concentration on the reaction were investigated. Based on a network analysis a kinetic model was derived and successfully parametrized for all studied solvent systems. Simulation results were found to be in good agreement with the experiments and allow a further process development and optimization. Abstract : The homogenous Rh/Xantphos‐catalyzed reductive amination of 1‐undecanal was investigated in two different thermomorphic solvent systems. On this basis a kinetic model was developed and parametrized for both solvent systems. Simulations and Experiments were in good agreement, making the model a promising way to describe the RA.
