Abstract

PURPOSE:To suppress formation of by-products and obtain a compound useful as a raw material for medicines, dyes, surfactants, chemicals, etc., in good yield using an inexpensive catalyst, by catalytically hydrogenating benzonitrile in the presence of ammonia. CONSTITUTION:Benzonitrile is catalytically hydrogenated in the presence of ammonia in a molar amount of 0.2-2.0 times, preferably 0.5-1.5 times based on the benzonitrile and further a catalyst, e.g. Raney nickel or Raney cobalt, etc., in a nonreducing polar solvent, e.g. methanol, etc., at 50-150 deg.C under 50-150kg/cm<2> pressure, preferably at 80-120 deg.C under 80-120kg/cm<2> pressure to afford the aimed benzylamine. The catalyst is used in an amount of 2-12wt%, preferably 5-10wt% based on the benzonitrile to carry out the reaction.
