Abstract
A process for preparing an N-alkyl-substituted aminophenol is disclosed, comprising continuously feeding an aldehyde or a ketone to a reaction system containing an organic solvent, a catalyst for reduction, hydrogen, and an aminophenol to conduct a reductive alkylation reaction, wherein said reductive alkylation reaction is carried out while continuously adding an organic carboxylic acid into the reaction system. The process attains a high yield even when the catalyst is repeatedly used and does not cause corrosion of equipment.
