HYDROGENATION PROCESS OF AROMATIC COMPOUNDS, HAVING AT LEAST ONE AMINO ACID ATTACHED TO AROMATIC NUCLEUS

摘要

Aromatic compounds in which at least one amino group is bonded to an aromatic nucleus are catalytically hydrogenated in the liquid phase by a process in which the catalyst consists essentially of ruthenium and, optionally at least one metal of subgroup I, VII or VIII in an amount of from 0.01 to 30% by weight, based on the total weight of the catalyst, applied to a carrier which has a mean pore diameter of at least 0.1 mu m and a surface area of not more than 15 m2/g.
