Enhancements in selectivity by a factor of 4 to 18 were observed in the near critical regions of ammonia during the Co- and Ni-catalyzed synthesis of 1,3-diaminopropanes. These results are attributed to the higher concentration of ammonia at the surface of the catalyst, which favors the amination and suppresses degredation reactions.
