Abstract

See full text

This invention provides a method for preparing 4-ADPA by charging nitrobenzene into a reaction zone under hydrogen pressure in the presence of a strong organic base and a catalyst for hydrogenation. The method provides the convenience and economy of a one-step process, while producing improved yields and selectivities. The invention further provides for various embodiments of the foregoing which are suitable for the production of 4-ADPA, and the hydrogenation or reductive alkylation to produce PPD. Important to the invention are the molar ratios of aniline to nitrobenzene and nitrobenzene to the strong organic base and the choice and use of hydrogenation catalyst.
