PURPOSE: To obtain industrially and advantageously the titled compound which is an intermediate raw material for medicines, agricultural chemicals and fibers, etc., by subjecting tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol to ammonohysis and hydrogenation in the liquid phase in the presence of an Ni based catalyst. n CONSTITUTION: Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol is subjected to ammonolysis and hydrogenation in the liquid phase in the presence of an Ni based catalyst, preferably reduced nickel in an amount of 0.01W0.3 that of the tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol to give the aimed compound. Preferably, the reaction is usually carried out by using a solvent, e.g. a hydrocarbon or oxygen-containing compound, in an amount of 0.5W10 times that of the raw material alcohol. n COPYRIGHT: (C)1985,JPO&Japio |
