Dear fellow chemists,

I've been trying to convert an alcohol to a secundairy amine, and found the
following in Vogel (5th ed), p. 779:

"A similar ammonolysis of alcohols in the prescence of certain metallic
oxide catalysts is, however, extensively used on the large scale for the
manufacture of all classes of amines."

This refers to the following condensation reaction :

R'-OH + R"-NH2 --> R'-NH-R" + H2O

Further searching did not yield any more information about this process. Can
anybody suggest which metallic oxide catalyst can be used, and under which
process conditions? And, if at all possible, supply me with some references?

Thanks in advance,

René
The Netherlands
