Abstract
The present invention provides a process for producing high-purity aliphatic tertiary amines containing a less amount of by-products by using a chromium-free catalyst with a good productivity in an economically advantageous manner. The present invention relates to a process for producing a tertiary amine by reducing an amide compound in the presence of a catalyst containing copper and magnesium at a molar ratio of magnesium to copper (magnesium/copper) of from 0.01 to 20.
