The invention relates to a process for preparing aminoalkanamides by reacting cyanoalkanoic esters with a) ammonia or an amine and b) hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, the reaction with component b) being started simultaneously or not later than a maximum of 100 minutes after commencement of the reaction of the cyanoalkanoic ester with component a).

Method for the production of aminoalkane acid amides

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of N-substituted 2,6-dialkylmorpholines of the formula I in which Rand R, independently of one another, are hydrogen, alkyl or cycloalkyl, or Rand Rtogether with the carbon atom to which they are bonded are a 5- to 14-membered carbocycle, and Rand R, independently of one another, are alkyl or cycloalkyl, by reacting at least one carbonyl compound of the formula II in which Rand Rhave the meanings given above, with at least one morpholine of the formula III in which Rand Rhave the meanings given above, in the presence of hydrogen and at least one metal-containing catalyst, wherein the active component of the catalyst consists essentially of platinum group metals.
