A process for producing an alkoxy-substituted tri-phenylamine comprising reacting an alkoxy-substituted cyclohexanone with a diphenylamine or an aniline, while forming said cyclohexanone in the same system from an alkoxy-substituted phenol by using said phenol as a hydrogen acceptor, in the presence of a hydrogen transfer catalyst and a catalytic amount of the alkoxy-substituted cyclohexanone corresponding to the alkoxy-substituted phenol used for the reaction, or after converting partially the alkoxy-substituted phenol to a catalytic amount of the alkoxy-substituted cyclohexanone under a hydrogen pressure in the presence of a hydrogen transfer catalyst, wherein a surface-supported catalyst is used as the hydrogen transfer catalyst.

Process for producing alkoxy-substituted triphenylamines

A novel bis-urea compound, preparation process of the compound, and preparation process of 1,3-dialkyl-2-imidazolidinone are disclosed and the disclosure provides a novel preparation process of 1,3-dialkyl-2-imidazolidinone and simultaneously enables effective utilization of N,N',N'-trialkyldiethylentriamine which lacks a large amount use and is desired to develop new application.

Process for producing 1,3-dialkyl-2-imidazolidinone

A process for the preparation of 4-methoxy-2,2',6-trimethyldiphenylamine, which comprises heating and reacting 2,6-dimethylcyclohexanone and 2-methyl-4-methoxyaniline in the presence of a dehydrogenation catalyst while removing the resultant hydrogen and water from the reaction system.

Process for the preparation of 4-methoxy-2,2',6'-Trimethyldiphenylamine

The present invention relates to 1,3,6-Trialkylhexahydro-1,3,6-triazocine-2-on represented by the formula (1): ##STR1## wherein R is a C.sub.1 .about.C.sub.8 alkyl group and a preparation process of the compound comprising reacting N,N',N'-trialkyldiethylenetriamine represented by the formula (2): ##STR2## wherein R is a C.sub.1 .about.C.sub.8 alkyl group, with urea, phosgene or carbon dioxide.
