Patent number: 8278488Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a tertiary amine in the presence of a catalyst containing copper and at least one element selected from the group consisting of elements belonging to Groups 2, 3, 7 and 12 of the Periodic Table (long form of the periodic table), said process including the steps of (a) reducing an amide compound in a hydrogen atmosphere; and (b) introducing a dialkyl amine containing a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms into a reaction product obtained in the step (a), and treating the reaction product with the dialkyl amine. The present invention provides a process for producing high-purity aliphatic tertiary amines containing a less amount of by-products by reducing aliphatic acid amides under moderate conditions using a chromium-free catalyst, as well as a process for producing amine derivatives such as amine oxide by using the aliphatic tertiary amines, with a good productivity in an economical manner.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2008Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Kao CorporationInventors: Michio Terasaka, Tetsuaki Fukushima, Hideki Taniguchi, Masaharu Jono

Patent number: 8247611Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing an aliphatic amine, comprising the step of contacting a linear or branched, or cyclic aliphatic alcohol having 6 to 22 carbon atoms with ammonia and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst formed by supporting at least (A) a ruthenium component produced by hydrolysis of a ruthenium compound on a carrier, or by further supporting, in addition to the component (A), a specific second metal component or a specific third metal component on the carrier. According to the process of the present invention, an aliphatic primary amine can be produced from an aliphatic alcohol with a high catalytic activity and a high selectivity.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2006Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: KAO CorporationInventors: Tetsuaki Fukushima, Masaharu Jono, Michio Terasaka
