| Description | A range of catalysts have been developed to mediate the addition of diverse amines to alkenes to produce amines of enhanced complexity. These catalysts are complexes of alkali earth metal salts, namely calcium, strontium and barium. The products are types of molecules that occur widely in many types of commercially important compounds including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and fine chemicals. |
| Exploitation Route | The catalysts should be widely used by academic and industrial scientists concerned with the synthesis of acyclic and cyclic amines including heterocyclic compounds. |
| Sectors | Agriculture Food and Drink Chemicals Pharmaceuticals and Medical Biotechnology |
