Abstract
The successful synthesis of ethylamine with a cw tunable CO2 laser is reported. This action occurs at normal pressure (∼5.32×104 Pa) and temperature (<100° C). No catalyst is used. The experiment shows a high directionality of this reaction. No other product except ethylamine is yielded. A possible mechanism for this reaction is discussed.
