Abstract
Abstract Aromatic amines (anilines) are obtained directly or via the corresponding cycloaliphatic amines by an aminating/hydrogenating reaction of phenols with ammonia and hydrogen over a supported palladium catalyst which also contains elements from group 1b, 2b or 7b of the periodic table as well as iron, cobalt or nickel, as such or in the form of their compounds, and, preferably, an inorganic base, said catalysts also having dehydrogenating properties.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
A process for the preparation of cycloaliphatic or aromatic amines (I, Ia) ##STR2## wherein each R 1 to R 5 may be hydrogen or a substituent selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, arylalkyl and alkylaryl, said substituent either containing or being free of oxygen and/or nitrogen atoms, wherein each R 1 to R 5 may be linked to its neighboring R by a molecular bridge which comprises: reacting either a corresponding aromatic hydroxy compound (phenol) with ammonia and hydrogen or a corresponding cycloaliphatic amine which is obtained as an intermediate or obtained independently, with or without ammonia and/or hydrogen at an elevated temperature in the presence of a supported palladium catalyst which contains a basic substance and/or an element from group 1b, 2b or 7b of the periodic table, iron, cobalt or nickel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
136 words
A process for the preparation of cycloaliphatic or aromatic amines (I, Ia) ##STR2## wherein each R 1 to R 5 may be hydrogen or a substituent selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, arylalkyl and alkylaryl, said substituent either containing or being free of oxygen and/or nitrogen atoms, wherein each R 1 to R 5 may be linked to its neighboring R by a molecular bridge which comprises: reacting either a corresponding aromatic hydroxy compound (phenol) with ammonia and hydrogen or a corresponding cycloaliphatic amine which is obtained as an intermediate or obtained independently, with or without ammonia and/or hydrogen at an elevated temperature in the presence of a supported palladium catalyst which contains a basic substance and/or an element from group 1b, 2b or 7b of the periodic table, iron, cobalt or nickel.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the catalyst contains, as the basic substance, an oxide, hydroxide or carbonate of a rare earth metal.
