Process for the production of amines
First Claim
1. A process for the production of an amine which process comprises reacting an amide with hydrogen at elevated temperature in the presence as catalyst of a composition comprising as a first component (i) a noble metal of Group VIII of the Periodic Table of the Elements, and (ii) rhenium, said first component being supported on a high surface area graphitised carbon, and as a second component either an alumina or a zeolite.

Abstract
An amine is produced by reacting an amide with hydrogen at elevated temperature in the presence as catalyst of a composition comprising as a first component (i) a noble metal of Group VIII of the Periodic Table of the Elements, particularly palladium or ruthenium, and (ii) rhenium, which component may be supported, and as a second component either an alumina or a zeolite, preferably a low silica aluminosilicate zeolite, for example type A or type Y zeolite.
