general approach for the one-pot hydroaminomethylation of olefinsusing methylformate as formylating agent instead of synthesis gas (syngas) has been proposed. Herein we report that a Ru–Rh catalytic system demonstrates high activity in a tandem conversion of a series of n-alkenes into aminesusing methylformate with yields 58–92% (6 h). The selectivity for the normal amine reached 96% with catalysis by
