Acrolein, Wiley & Sons, N.Y., Chaper 6, (1975) page~ 96 to 109 disclo~es reaction~ o~ primary and secondary aliphatic amines with acrolein to give alkyl-~ub~tituted 1-propens-1,3-diamines. According to thi process, N,N'-dialkyl-l-propene-1,3-diamines are formed ~rom 2 mol of amine with 1 mol of acrolein with removal of water in the pre ence of a dehydrating a~ent or of a water-immi~cible 301vent-US-A-2 565 488 disclose~ ~,N~-dialkyl 1-propene-1,3-diamlne~ and their preparation from 2 alkenals and prLma~y amines under dehydrating ~ondition~ in the pre~ence of dehydrating agent~ ~uch a~ potassium car-bonate.
The addition of di-n-propylamlne to acrolein i9 known from EP-A-424 171. The water of rea~tion must al~o be removed in thi~ proce~s either by usiny a drying agent or alternativ~ly by using a wat~r-immi~cible ~olvent and removing the aqueou~ pha~e.
Th~ proces~e~ known o date ~or preparing alkyl-substituted 1-propene-1,3-diamlne~ ~rom 2-alkenal using primary and econdary aliphati~ amlnes ha~e the di~ad-vantage that they mu~t be carried out with the addition of a dehydrating agent or of a water-immiscible so1vent and removal of an aqueous phase and only modarat~ yield~

(II), wherw R1, R2 and R3 have the abovementioned meanings, with ammonia or primary or secondary amines of the general formula III

(III), where R4 and R5 have the abovementioned meanings, at from (-20) to 70°C and pressures from 0.01 to 100 bar, which comprises carrying out the reaction without removing the water of reaction.
2. A process for reacting unsaturated amines I as claimed in claim 1 to give the unsaturated amines I' (I '), where R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 have the abovementioned mean ings and X' is =C-N(R6R7) or -C=N-R6 and R6 and R7 have the meanings given for R1 to R5, which comprises reacting the unsaturated amines I with primary or secondary amines of the general formula III' (III'), where R6 and R7 have the meanings given for R1 to R5, at from 20 to 150°C.
3. A process for hydrogenating unsaturated aminee I
or I' as claimed in claim 1 or 2, which comprises hydro-genating the unsaturated amines I or I' under a hydrogen pressure from 1 to 350 bar at from 0 to 150°C.
4. A 1,3-diamine of the general formula IV

(IV), where R1,R2,R3,R4,R5,R6,R7 are hydrogen, C1- to C20-alkyl, C2- to C20-alkenyl, C3 to C8-cycloalkyl, C3- to C8-cycloalkenyl, phenyl, C7- to C20-phenylalkyl, C1- to C20-alkoxy, phenoxy, C7- to C20-phenoxyalkyl, C1- to C20-alkylamino, phenylamino, C7- to C20-phenylalkylamino, pyridyl or imidazolyl, or and R2 or R1 and R3 or R2 and R3 together are a C2- to C8-alkylene which is unsubtituted or monosubstituted to pentasubstituted by C1- to C4-alkyl or unsubstituted or monosubstitutad to tetrasubstituted by amino, N-C1- to C8-alkylamino, N,N-C1- to C8-dialkylamino, hydroxyl, O-C1- to C8-alkylamino and/or C1- to C8-alkoxycarbonyl, with the proviso that R1 and R2 are not hydrogen if R3 is methyl and R4 and R5, R6 and R7 are in each case hydrogen or methyl, R4 and R5 are hydrogen and R5 and R7 are ethyl and also R4 and R5, R6 and R7 are in each case together (CH2)5 or (CH2)2 O-(CH2)2.
