Procedure

The second step of the process of the present invention was conducted as follows. At first, a 1-liter autoclave equipped with a mechanical stirrer was charged with 300 g (1.59 mol) of 4-trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde oxime, 460 g of 2-propanol, and 15 g of a catalyst (i.e., a carbon powder (50% wet) carrying thereon 5% palladium), followed by introduction of 40 g of liquid ammonia and then introduction of hydrogen to have a pressure of 1 MPa. Then, the reaction mixture was stirred, while the reaction temperature was maintained at 20° C. and while hydrogen was gradually introduced into the autoclave in a manner to maintain the total pressure at 1 MPa. After conducting the reaction for 4 hr, the reaction was stopped, followed by removing the catalyst by filtration. As a result of analyzing the obtained reaction liquid by gas chromatography, 4-trifluoromethylbenzylamine was formed at a yield of 92.6%.
