1. A process for the production of methylenedianilines comprising (1) condensing aniline which contains less than 100 ppm aliphatic amines, and a methylene group-supplying agent, at a molar ratio of aniline to methylene group-supplying agent of 1.7:
- 1 to 100;
1 to form a condensate of aniline and the methylene group-supplying agent;
(2) drying the condensate of aniline and the methylene group-supplying agent; and
(3) rearranging the dried condensate under gentle conditions in the presence of solid, inorganic, acid catalysts to form low-polymer methylenedianiline with a predominant 4,4′
-isomer content.
