5-ISOPROPYL-3-AMINOMETHYL-2-METHYL-1-AMINO-CYCLOHEXANE (CARVONE DIAMINE), AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to 5-isopropyl-3-aminomethyl-2-methyl-1-amino-cyclohexane (carvone diamine) and a method for the production thereof by a) reacting carvone with hydrogen cyanide, b) then reacting the carvone nitrile obtained in step a) with ammonia in the presence of an imine-forming catalyst, and c) subsequently reacting the reaction mixture that is obtained in step b) and contains carvone nitrilimine with hydrogen and ammonia on hydrogenation catalysts. The invention further relates to the use of carvone diamine as a curing agent for epoxy resins, as an intermediate product when producing diisocyanates, as an initiator entity when producing polyetherols, and/or as a monomer for producing polyamides.
