Abstract
Cyclohexanol, together with mono- and dicyclohexylamine, is produced by mixing hydrogen (or a mixture of hydrogen and water-vapour) at at pressure above 60 atmospheres and preheated to 150 DEG C. to 300 DEG C., with a preheated liquid mixture of nitrobenzene and water, in such proportions that a mixing-temperature of 160 DEG C. to 250 DEG C. is established and the weight-ratio of nitrobenzene to water added in the liquidphase lies between 1 : 1 and 1 : 3, and then passing the mixture over a hydrogenationcatalyst at a hydrogen partial pressure of at least 30 atmospheres, the temperature in the catalyst-zone not being allowed to exceed 300 DEG C. In order to obtain a product which contains mainly cyclohexanol, a large amount of water (within the specified limits) and a hydrogenwater mixture preheated to 250 DEG C. to 300 DEG C. are employed. When a small amount of water is used, and the hydrogen is not preheated to such a high temperature, the product contains large proportions of mono- and dicyclohexylamine, besides cyclohexanol. Suitable catalysts are the metals or compounds of the iron or platinum group, and the oxides or sulphides of the metals of the 5th and 6th groups of the Periodic System, possibly with copper and/or manganese compounds. In an example, a 1 : 2 mixture of nitrobenzene and water, preheated to 180 DEG C. under a pressure of 200 atmospheres, and a stream of hydrogen, heated up to 250 DEG C. under pressure of 200 atmospheres, are introduced into the top of a vertical tube which contains annular filler bodies of iron in the upper section while the lower section contains granular catalyst comprising metallic nickel and metallic copper supported on silica. The mixing-temperature is 190 DEG C.; and the temperature in the reaction chamber is 275 DEG C. The gas speed is 0.35 metre per second with reference to the empty tube. The effluent vapours are condensed. The product consists of cyclohexanol (7.1%), monocyclohexylamine (19.2%) and dicyclohexylamine (9.7%).
