Abstract
1,4-Diaminobutanes of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is H or --CH.sub.3 and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 independently of one another are each a radical of the formula ##STR2## in which A is alkyl having 1 to 3 C atoms, --OCH.sub.3, --N(CH.sub.3).sub.2, --Cl or --Br and R.sup.2 also is alkyl having 1 to 3 C atoms, are prepared according to the invention by catalytically hydrogenating succinic acid dinitrile of the formula ##STR3## in the presence of acetic anhydride and hydrolyzing the N,N'-diacetyl-1,4-diaminobutanes thus obtained to diamines of the formula I, which are valuable curing agents for epoxide resins.
