20. Industrial production of amines is mostly based on a nucleophilic substitution mechanism. For example, methylamines can be produced at 350-500°C and under 15-30 bar of pressure using an aluminum-based heterogeneous catalyst from ammonia and methanol. See: Weissermel, K.; Arpe, H.-J. Industrial Organic Chemistry, 4 th ed.; Wiley-VCH: Weinheim, Germany, 2003; p 51.
21. One promising example showed the direct amination of alcohols catalyzed by an iron amino acid species through a nucleophilic substitution pathway under relatively milder conditions (160-200°C).
