Process for the preparation of 2-aminomethyl-1,5-pentanediamine

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of 2-aminomethyl-1,5-pentanediamine by simultaneously reacting 2,4-dicyano-1-butene, hydrogen and ammonia in one step without isolation of 2-amino-methyl-1,5-pentanedinitrile; the products are useful as an intermediate in the production of coating compositions, surfactants, detergents and as a component of epoxide compositions.
