Rhodium-Catalyzed Hydroaminomethylation of Cyclopentadiene. -Saturated C 6-cyclopentylmethyl amines are obtained in a single step using the homogeneous catalyst Rh(II) octanoate dimer without additional phosphorus ligands under mild reaction conditions. The method is found to be suitable for both cyclic and non-cyclic amine substrates. The careful adjustment of the syngas ratio and the choice of the solvent can suppress the unwanted dimerization of the cyclopentadiene. -(BEHR*, A.; LEVIKOV, D.; NUERENBERG, E.; RSC Adv. 5 (2015) 75, 60667-60673, http://dx.
