Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for producing a tertiary amine by reducing an amide compound in the presence of a catalyst containing a sponge copper catalyst obtained by leaching alloy particles containing copper and aluminum and drying the thus leached alloy particles. The present invention provides a process for producing high-purity aliphatic tertiary amines containing a less amount of by-products at a high yield by subjecting aliphatic acid amides to hydrogenation reduction under solvent-free moderate conditions.
