<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for an aniline compound in higher yield than a conventional method using a zirconia-based catalyst. <P>SOLUTION: The method for producing the aniline compound comprises carrying out a reaction between a phenolic compound and an aminating agent in the presence of a catalyst preferably under vapor-phase reaction conditions, wherein the catalyst to be used is e.g. a compound oxide of phosphorus oxide and zirconia, or a phosphorus compound-containing zirconia such as a zirconia containing phosphate group(PO<SB>4</SB>) or phosphorus oxide. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
