Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for the reductive amination of a carbonyl compound, comprising one or more carbonyl groups amenable to reductive amination, forming the corresponding primary amine, characterized in that the reaction is carried out in the presence of a homogeneously dissolved catalyst complex K, comprising at least one metal atom from Group 8, 9 or 10 of the periodic table, bearing a bidentate phosphane ligand, a carbonyl ligand, a neutral ligand and a hydride ligand, and also an acid as co-catalyst.

- 18. A method for the reductive amination of a carbonyl compound, comprising one or more carbonyl groups amenable to reductive amination, characterized in that the reaction is carried out in the presence of a homogeneously dissolved catalyst K and an acid as co-catalyst, in which the catalyst K is a ruthenium catalyst, comprising, a bidentate phosphane ligand, a carbonyl ligand, a hydride ligand and optionally a neutral ligand.
