Method of producing xylylenediamine
A method of producing xylylenediamine of the present invention includes the steps of: subjecting a liquid mixture of phthalonitriles with liquid ammonia or a mixture of liquid ammonia and an organic solvent to a first catalytic hydrogenation treatment, thereby hydrogenating the phthalonitriles to obtain a reaction product (A), wherein a content of the liquid ammonia or the mixture of liquid ammonia and an organic solvent is 80 wt % or more; removing the liquid ammonia in the reaction product (A) to obtain a reaction product (B); subjecting the reaction product (B) to a second catalytic hydrogenation treatment, thereby hydrogenating cyanobenzylamine to obtain a reaction product (C); and distilling the reaction product (C) to purify xylylenediamine.
