In this thesis, intermolecular hydroamination reactions were studied on a new type of heterogeneous catalysts in both a slurry reactor and a fixed bed reactor. In the first part of the thesis, catalysts with a high concentration of strong Brønsted acid sites and a high ratio of Brønsted to Lewis acid sites exhibited an especially high catalytic activitity for the addition of aniline to 1,3-cyclohexadiene. In the second part, palladium complexes immobilized in a thin film of supported ionic liquid were used to catalyze the addition of aniline to vinyl-benzene providing the Markownikoff product N-(1-phenylethyl)aniline under kinetic control and the anti-Markownikoff product N-(2-phenylethyl)aniline under thermodynamic control. Ionic liquids are particularly favourable as their appropriate selection allows to influence adsorption properties and, in consequence, catalytic activity, selectivity and chemical equilibrium.
