Abstract For the first time, one-pot hydroformylation/hydrogenation and hydroaminomethylation of olefins are performed under biphasic conditions using a non-phosphorous Rh/amine catalytic system. Available, cheap, and non-toxic triethanolamine was found to be an effective water-soluble ligand, providing easy separation and reuses of the catalytic system without significant loss in activity.
