A method for synthesizing 2-(1-cyclohexenyl)ethylamine. Cyclohexanone (II) is reacted with a Grignard reagent in a first organic solvent to produce 1-vinylcyclohexanol (III), which is then subjected to chlorination and rearrangement reaction with a chlorinating reagent in a second organic solvent in the presence of an organic base to synthesize (2-chloroethylmethylene)cyclolxane (IV). Then (2-chloroethylmethylene)cyclohexane (IV) and urotropine are subjected to quaternization in a third organic solvent to synthesize N-cyclohexylidene ethyl urotropine hydrochloride (V). Finally, the N-cyclohexylidene ethyl urotropine hydrochloride (V) undergoes hydrolysis and rearrangement reaction in a solvent in the presence of an inorganic mineral acid to synthesize 2-(1-cyclohexenyl)ethylamine (I).

The present invention provides PC.sub.NHCP pincer metal complexes, which are useful as catalysts in various chemical reactions such as hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) in C(sp.sup.3)-H and/or C(sp.sup.2)-H bond of an organic compound, e.g., a pharmaceutically active compound; hydroboration of alkynes with excellent selectivity; and alkene isomerization with high stereo- and regioselectivity.
