A process for the hydrogenation of 3-aminopentanenitrile to produce 1, 3-diaminopentane using a Raney(R) cobalt catalyst promoted with chromium, nickel, molybdenum, iron, manganese or mixtures thereof. Performing the reaction in the presence of aqueous caustic (e.g., alkali metal hydroxide) enhances the selectivity to 1,3-diaminopentane. |
