Through a tubular reactor (diameter 16 mm, packing height 50 cm, oil-heated double jacket), installed upstream of the hydrogenation reactor and packed with 63.5 g (100 ml) of titanium dioxide (anatase) in the form of 1.5 mm extrudates, there were passed upwardly, per hour, 16.0 g of 2-(2-cyanoethyl)-cyclohexanone (purity 97.5%, 0.103 mole) and 51 g of liquid ammonia (87 ml, 3.0 moles) at a pressure of 250 bar and a temperature of 80° C. Hydrogen was then added to the stream at ar ate of 60 standard liters per hour, and the effluent from the in-line imination reactor was passed upwardly through the hydrogenation reactor at a pressure of 250 bar and a temperature of 130° C. The effluent was depressurized to standard pressure, and the ammonia was distilled off. Gas-chromatographic analysis of the hydrogenation product gave 92.5% of 2-(3-aminopropyl)-cyclohexylamine and 4.5% of decahydroquinoline. The effluent was collected over a period of 46 hours and fractionated by distillation in a 30 cm packed column containing 3 mm glass rings. There were obtained 674 g of 2-(3-aminopropyl)-cyclohexylamine, corresponding to a yield of 91.0% of theory.
