Abstract
Provided is a process for the production of an aromatic compound comprising at least two amine functions, comprising reacting an aromatic compound having at least one hydroxyl function and at least one aldehyde function with a second reactant having an amine function, in the presence of a reductant agent and a catalyst comprising at least one metal element in elemental form and/or at least one metal oxide.
Claims20
A process for the production of an aromatic compound comprising at least two amine functions, the process comprising reacting:
- A first reactant being an aromatic compound having at least one hydroxyl function and at least one aldehyde function, with
- A second reactant being a compound of formula (I),
- R—NH2 (I)
- wherein R is H or a hydrocarbon group,
- in the presence of a catalyst and a reductant agent, wherein the catalyst comprises at least one metal element in elemental form and/or at least one metal oxide.
