A method for producing 3-aminomethyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexanol (IPAA) by hydrogenation of isophorone nitrile (IPN) using hydrogen over a catalyst. The catalyst according to the invention consists of a catalytically active metal foam, on the one hand having a bulk density as small as possible and on the other hand having a high activity in the hydrogenation reaction mentioned.
