Abstract: A method for producing a bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane having an isomerization step of isomerizing a cis-isomer of 1,4-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane and/or a trans-isomer of 1,3-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane at the bottom part of a distillation tower to obtain a trans-isomer of 1,4-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane and/or a cis-isomer of 1,3-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane; and a distillation step of separating the trans-isomer of 1,4-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane and/or the cis-isomer of 1,3-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane by distillation, in the top part of the distillation tower, in which the isomerization reaction temperature in the isomerization step is 80 to 140° C., and the isomerization step and the distillation step are simultaneously carried out.

Abstract: A method for isomerizing a bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane, including an isomerization step of isomerizing the bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane in the presence of an imine compound represented by the following general formula (1) and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal, an alkali metal-containing compound, an alkaline earth metal and an alkaline earth metal-containing compound: wherein R1 and R2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a monovalent group selected from the group consisting of a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group, and an acyl group (R1 and R2 may mutually bind to form a ring); R3 represents a hydrogen atom or an n-valent group selected from the group consisting of substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon groups; and n represents an integer of 1 to 10.
