The amination of secondary alcohols to give tertiary amines in the presence of different in situ generated ruthenium catalysts has been investigated in detail. By applying a combination of [Ru 3 (CO) 12 ] and N ‐phenyl‐2‐(dicyclohexylphosphanyl)pyrrole as the catalyst, cyclic amines can be alkylated with different alcohols in high yield, whereas aliphatic amines gave transalkylation side products.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
