Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0000778A1] 1. A process for the production of polyamines of the diphenyl methane series having a high content of 4,4'-isomers and a low content of 2,2'- and 2,4'-isomers by reacting primary or secondary aromatic amines with formaldehyde in the presence of ion exchangers as solid catalysts, which ion exchangers contain sulphonic acid groups, are based on styrene-divinyl benzene copolymers and are present in heterogeneous phase, optionally by way of the intermediate stage of N-substituted precondensates produced in the absence of acid catalysts, characterised in that a) the catalysts used are water-saturated gel-form ion exchangers containing sulphonic acid groups based on styrene-divinyl benzene copolymers, which are cross-linked with 2%, by weight, based on copolymer, of divinyl benzene, or water-saturated macroporous ion exchangers containing sulphonic acid groups based on styrene-divinyl benzene copolymers which are cross-linked with 18%, by weight, based on copolymer, of divinyl benzene ; and b) the catalytic reaction is carried out within a temperature range from 50-150 degrees C optionally under pressure and without any significant distillation of the condensation water and the water introduced into the system.
