(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present inventors particularly applied the Bamberger reaction to a method for producing 1-amine-4-alkoxybenzenes with high yield and high selectivity. As a result of intensive studies on hydrogenation catalysts in one-step synthesis methods, we found that iridium catalysts, which are generally considered to have lower catalytic ability and a narrower range of application in catalytic reduction reactions than conventionally known platinum or palladium catalysts, have a unique feature in this reaction. It was found that this behavior was observed.
