Abstract

Abstract Aromatic secondary or tertiary amino compounds of the formula, ##STR1## wherein X is a hydrogen atom, a methyl group or a methoxygroup, and R is a C 1 -C 4 alkyl group, are produced by reacting hydrogen and an aromatic nitro compound of the formula, ##STR2## wherein X is as defined above, with an alcohol of the formula, ROH wherein R is as defined above, in the presence of a catalyst of copper chromite.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 133 words
A process for producing aromatic secondary or tertiary amino compounds with the formula, ##STR23## wherein X is a hydrogen atom, a methyl group or a methoxy group, and R is methyl, ethyl, n-propyl isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl or sec.-butyl, which comprises reacting hydrogen, an aromatic nitro compound of the formula, ##STR24## wherein X is as defined above, and an alcohol of the formula, ROH wherein R is as defined above, in the presence of a catalyst of copper chromite consisting essentially of copper chromite of the formula CuOCuCr 2 O 4 , or a catalyst of copper chromite consisting essentially of as a main ingredient copper chromite of the formula CuOCuCr 2 O 4 and as a promoter at least one member selected from the group consisting of Fe, Ni, Ba, Mg and Mn.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 133 words
