Abstract

Diaminotoluenes are produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of the corresponding dinitrotoluenes in the molten state, the dinitrocompound used containing less than 500 parts per million, preferably less than 200 p.p.m., of nitrophenols or nitrocresols whereby the hydrogenation can be safely carried out at a temperature between 90 DEG and 135 DEG C. at ordinary or slightly elevated pressure, without the formation of tarry by-products. The dinitrocompound may be prepared by nitrating toluene or mono-nitrotoluene in stainless-steel equipment which does not introduce ionizable iron salts into the product. If cast-iron equipment is used for the nitration, the crude dinitro-compound must be washed with dilute nitric acid, to remove iron, prior to washing with alkali and water. The nitrophenol or nitrocresol content of the dinitro-compound can be determined by polarographic analysis. Examples 1, 2, 4 and 5 relate to the reduction of a mixture of 2,4- and 2,6-dinitrotoluenes to the corresponding tolylene diamines using a palladium-on-charcoal catalyst, which is introduced into the reactor in the form of a slurry in deionized water. In Example 5, a nickel-on-silica catalyst is used. Example 3 relates to the hydrogenation of 2,4-dinitrotoluene.
