Abstract:
1. A method for producing a N-substituted amine compound, comprising: reacting a first amine with an alcohol or with a second amine in the presence of a composite metal oxide catalyst, wherein the composite metal oxides catalyst is CuO—NiO—Fe wherein the first amine and the second amine are the same or different and independently (1) an aliphatic amine selected from group consisting of wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently a linear or branched alkyl with a carbon number of 1 to 18 or hydrogen, m is an integer of 1 to 6, and n is an integer of 1 to 12; or (2) an aromatic amine selected from group consisting of wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently a linear or branched alkyl with a carbon number of 1 to 18, hydrogen, methoxyl, phenyl, phenoxyl, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine, n is an integer of 0 to 12; wherein the alcohol is (1) an aliphatic alcohol selected from the group consisting of: wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently a linear or branched alkyl with a carbon number of 1 to 18 or a hydrogen, m is an integer of 1 to 6, and n is an integer of 2 to 8; or (2) an aromatic alcohol selected from the group consisting of: wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently a linear or branched alkyl with a carbon number of 1 to 18, hydrogen, methoxyl, phenyl, phenoxy, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine, n is an integer of 1 to 4; and wherein the composite metal oxide catalyst is produced by the following steps:
