This journal is The Royal Society of Chemistry 213 Experimental General. The mixture of amine 1a (1 mmol), alcohol 2a (1 ml), 1 wt% Pd/ZrO 2 (1 mg) and KOH (.1 mmol) was sealed under air in a ml tube, stirred at 3 C for 6 h. During the reactions.1 ml specimens were periodically sampled, filtered and analyzed by GC (Shimadzu GC-214) with a capillary column of Rtx- (3 m length,. mm internal diameter,. μm film thickness), temperature of column ranged from to 22 C (6 C/min), and injector temperature was 2 C and flame ionization detector was used for product analysis. All synthetic compounds are known, and they were identified by comparison with authentic samples. Selected products were purified by column chromatography on alumina gel (V petroleum ether: V ethyl acetate: V triethylamine was : 1: 1), and were analyzed by 1 H NMR. We compared their 1 H NMR spectra with the reported literature. GC-MS (Thermo DSQ Ⅱ) with a HP- column was also used to identify the products.
