Monoisopropylamine is prepared by reacting acetone with ammonia and with hydrogen at elevated temperature and elevated pressure in the presence of a catalyst, wherein the catalytically active mass of the catalyst comprises, after its preparation and before the treatment with hydrogen, from 20 to 90% by weight of aluminum oxide (Al O ), zirconium dioxide (ZrO ), titanium dioxide (TiO ) and/or silicon dioxide (SiO ), from 1 to 70% by weight of oxygen-containing compounds of copper, calculated as CuO, from 1 to 70% by weight of oxygen-containing compounds of nickel, calculated as NiO, and from 1 to 70% by weight of oxygen-containing compounds of cobalt, calculated as CoO.

Process for preparing monoisopropylamine

Preparation of alkanolamines having improved color quality by treating the alkanolamine with an effective amount of phosphorous acid or hypophosphorous acid or compounds thereof initially at elevated temperature over a period of at least 5 min (step a), and then distilling it in the presence of an effective amount of one of these phosphorus compounds (step b).
