PROCESS FOR PRODUCING NITROGEN-CONTAINING COMPOUNDS

摘要

THE PRESENT INVENTION RELATES TO A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A TERTIARY AMINE BY REDUCING AN AMIDE COMPOUND IN THE PRESENCE OF A CATALYST CONTAINING A SPONGE COPPER CATALYST OBTAINED BY LEACHING ALLOY PARTICLES CONTAINING COPPER AND ALUMINUM AND DRYING THE THUS LEACHED ALLOY PARTICLES. THE PRESENT INVENTION PROVIDES A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING HIGH-PURITY ALIPHATIC TERTIARY AMINES CONTAINING A LESS AMOUNT OF BY-PRODUCTS AT A HIGH YIELD BY SUBJECTING ALIPHATIC ACID AMIDES TO HYDROGENATION REDUCTION UNDER SOLVENT-FREE MODERATE CONDITIONS.
