Aminolysis is the reaction of introducing an amino group as a result of a substitution reaction.
The aminolysis reaction is used to introduce amino groups into organic compounds instead of halogen (in alkyl- and aryl halides), hydroxyl group (in alcohols and phenols), transformation of carboxylic acids and their derivatives into amides of carboxylic acids. Aminolysis also refers to the production of metal amides from hydrides , halides, and sometimes alkali metal oxides .
Industrial aminolysis reaction is used to synthesize dimethylaniline from methanol and aniline , alkanolamines, carboxylic acid amides, etc.
