Abstract

Cyanobenzylamines are prepared by the hydrogenation of phthalonitrile, isophthalonitrile, and/or terephthalonitrile in the liquid phase in the presence of a palladium or platinum catalyst. The catalysts are preferably deposited on a support such as alumina or carbon. A preferred catalyst is made by depositing 0.1 to 5 parts of palladium on to 99.9-95 parts of powdered alumina. The amount of catalyst used is preferably from 0.005 and 5 per cent by weight of the dinitrile solution. A solvent such as ammonia, toluene or isopropylbenzene, which may be diluted with e.g. ethanol may be used. Suitable amounts of ammonia are up to twenty times the weight of dinitrile, and the ammonia may be used together with e.g. toluene. The reaction may take place between 0 DEG and 150 DEG C. at atmospheric to 100 atmospheres pressure. When temperatures above about 60 DEG C. are used the reaction should be stopped when sufficient hydrogen has been taken up to form the mono-amine. The cyanobenzylamine produced may be recovered e.g. by distillation to remove ammonia and solvents present, followed by vacuum distillation of the residue, or by formation of the hydrates by dissolving the residue in water above the m.p. of the hydrates. The reaction is preferably carried out so that substantially no dinitrile remains at the end of the reaction. Examples are given of the preparation of 4-cyanobenzylamine, and bis-(4-cyanobenzyl) amine from terephthalonitrile, and 3-cyanobenzylamine from isophthalonitrile. 4-Cyanobenzylamine may be converted to the perchlorate with perchloric acid.
