Claims
- 1. A process for the preparation of neopentylamino which is virtually free from amines with a higher degree of alkylation which comprises contacting neopentanol with ammonia at a temperature of 200.degree. to 300.degree. C. in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst.
- 2. A process according to claim 1, wherein the reaction is carried out in the liquid phase under a pressure of at least 10 bars.
- 3. A process according to claim 1, wherein the reaction is carried out continuously.
- 4. A process according to claim 1, wherein 0.5 to 10 mols of ammonia are employed per mol of neopentanol.
- 5. A process according to claim 1, wherein 1 to 5 mols of ammonia are employed per mol of neopentanol.
- 6. A process according to claim 1, wherein the reaction is carried out in the presence of 0.001 to 1 mol of hydrogen per mol of neopentanol.
- 7. A process according to claim 1, wherein the hydrogenation catalyst contains at least one metal from group VIII of the periodic system (Mendeleev) and/or copper or at least one of these metals in combination with at least one metal from the group comprising vanadium, chromium and manganese, in metallic and/or oxidic form.
- 8. A process according to claim 1, wherein the catalyst contains nickel in metallic or oxidic form.
- 9. A process according to claim 1, wherein the process is carried out in the presence of hydrogen.
- 10. A process according to claim 9, wherein 0.5 to 10 mols of ammonia are employed per mol of neopentanol.
- 11. A process according to claim 10, wherein 1 to 5 mols of ammonia are employed per mol of neopentanol.
