Experimental protocol for the study of One-pot amination of Cyclohexanone-to-secondary amines over Carbon-supported Pd.

The validation of protocols for carrying out the experimental analysis of amination reactions is of paramount importance to enhance the scientific knowledge and reproducibility of results. Accordingly, in the present paper, a protocol has been proposed for the study of the amination of cyclohexanone-to-secondary amines (Diphenylamine and N-Cyclohexylaniline) over heterogeneous catalysts. The results of activity and selectivity, and the elucidation of a plausible reaction pathway were described in a parent paper.
