Abstract
The present invention provides a process for producing high-purity aliphatic tertiary amines containing a less amount of by-products by subjecting aliphatic acid amides to hydrogenation reduction under moderate conditions, as well as a process for producing amine derivatives from the aliphatic tertiary amines, with a good productivity in an economically advantageous manner. The present invention relates to a process for producing an aliphatic tertiary amine by subjecting a specific aliphatic amide to hydrogenation reduction in the presence of a catalyst containing copper and at least one element selected from the group consisting of elements belonging to Groups 2, 3 and 7 of the Periodic Table; the catalyst; and a process for producing amine oxide by reacting the tertiary amide obtained by the above production process with hydrogen peroxide.
