反応手順

1,000 parts by volume of catalyst are introduced into a fluidised bed reactor having a capacity of 1.2 liters, corresponding to 1,200 parts by volume. The catalyst consists of 0.5% by weight of palladium and 0.2% by weight of zinc on Al2O3 and has a particle size of 0.2 to 0.6 mm. The temperature in the reactor is set to 220° C. and, per hour, a correspondingly preheated mixture of 200,000 parts by volume of ammonia and 200,000 parts by volume of hydrogen is introduced. 50 parts of a mixture consisting of 80% by weight of 2,6-dimethylcyclohexanol and 20% by weight of 2,6-dimethylcyclohexanone is passed continuously, per hour, through the fluidised catalyst bed thus produced. The reaction product is isolated by cooling the exit gases, and is distilled. 100 parts of 2,6-dimethylcyclohexanol/2,6-dimethylcyclohexanone mixture employed give 92 parts of 2,6-dimethylaniline. Yield: 96.5%.
