Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Piperidine and ethanolamine are carbonylated by carbon monoxide in the presence of divalent copper salts at 40–300° and 20–140 atm to give the corresponding formyl derivatives. Diethylamine under analogous conditions is carbonylated much less intensely, while aniline is not carbonylated at all.

  2. 2.

    The addition of small amounts of water inhibits the carbonylation; excess water with respect to the copper salt does not prevent progress of the reaction.

  3. 3.

    The addition of oxygen to the CO inhibits the carbonylation of piperidine and changes the composition of the reaction products: N,N′-dipentamethyleneurea is formed along the formylpiperidine. Nitrogen has no effect on the carbonylation.
