Process for producing furfurylamine and/or tetrahydrofurfurylamine

摘要

A process for producing furfurylamine and/or tetrahydrofurfurylamine in a high yield is disclosed, which comprises subjecting a mixture of furfural and a primary amine to a liquid-phase catalytic hydrogenation using a hydrogenation catalyst in the presence of ammonia, wherein the primary amine is furfurylamine and/or tetrahydrofurfurylamine and the hydrogenation catalyst is selected from the group consisting of cobalt-based catalysts and nickel-based catalysts.
