A production method for a cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid compound, having a step of obtaining a cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid compound or an aqueous ammonia solution of a cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid compound by bringing a phthalic acid compound in an aqueous ammonia solution into contact with hydrogen in the presence of a fixed bed catalyst in a reactor.

Production method for cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid compound, dicyanocyclohexane compound and bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane compound

The problem addressed by this invention is to achieve a useful and novel method for producing dicyanocyclohexane and bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane. This problem was solved by providing a method for producing dicyanocyclohexane having a cyanation step in which dicyanocyclohexane is obtained by a cyanation reaction of cyanocyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid and/or a salt thereof with an ammonia source, and a method for producing bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane using the dicyanocyclohexane thus produced.

A method for preparing a dicyanoalkane may omit a filtration for a catalyst after a cyanation reaction can by carrying out the cyanation reaction in a state in which precipitation of a metal catalyst is suppressed. A method for preparing a dicyanoalkane may involve cyanating one or more aliphatic dicarboxylic acids and/or salt(s) thereof with an ammonia source in the presence of a predetermined compound and a catalyst, wherein, in the cyanation, the amount of the predetermined compound is maintained at a predetermined amount or more with respect to the catalyst.

A production method for producing a 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid derivative, involves subjecting an aqueous ammonia solution of 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid to heat concentration, thereby precipitating a 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid derivative as a crystal.

Production method for 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid derivative, 1,4-dicyanocyclohexane and 1,4-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane

The present invention provides a production method for dicyanocyclohexane, including a step of obtaining dicyanocyclohexane by reacting cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid and/or a salt thereof, or a heated concentrate of an aqueous ammonia solution of cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid with ammonia in a solvent having a boiling point equal to or higher than a reaction temperature.

Method for producing 1,4-dicyanocyclohexane, 1,4-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane and 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid

Provided is a method for producing an alicyclic carboxylic acid by hydrogenating an aromatic ring of an aromatic carboxylic acid, which comprises using a catalyst containing ruthenium and palladium as a catalyst, and also provided is a co-supported ruthenium-palladium catalyst in which ruthenium and palladium are present in a form of particles containing both the ruthenium and palladium on a surface of a support. A catalyst has been developed which uses a relatively inexpensive noble metal, ruthenium, which has an activity equivalent to that of a rhodium catalyst, and which does not undergo decrease in activity as observed in a rhodium catalyst, and thereby an industrially simple method for producing an alicyclic carboxylic acid has been established.
