In carrying out the method of the present invention, it is important to react while supplying benzylamine and benzyl alcohol into the reaction system. In order to supply the benzylamine and benzyl alcohol of the present invention, either (1) supply the entire amount of each of benzylamine and benzyl alcohol, or (2) charge a part of the total amount of both raw materials to the reactor in advance and leave the remainder. Any method of supplying the amount can be carried out. In the supply method (2) above, the amount of both raw materials charged into the reactor in advance is 1 to 30% by weight, preferably 5 to 15% by weight of the total amount used. As this ratio increases, the yield tends to decrease. Benzylamine and benzyl alcohol may be supplied separately, or a mixture of the two may be supplied.

As a method for removing the produced water from the reaction system, azeotropic dehydration using an organic solvent that is azeotropic with water can usually be adopted, but the present invention is not limited to this. Known methods detailed in Lu, No. 3,228,734, such as a method in which gas is introduced into the reaction system and water produced together with the gas is removed, a method in which the reaction is carried out under reduced pressure and water produced are removed, etc. can also be employed. . Such an organic solvent may be one that is inert to this reaction, but from the viewpoint of efficient use of the organic solvent, one that is insoluble in water is preferred. Specific examples include aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, and xylene, and hydrocarbons such as hexane and cyclohexane, with toluene-xylene having a high azeotropic composition ratio being preferred.
