Research on the Preparation of 2,5-diaminotoluene with 2-
aminoazotoluene Catalytic Hydrogenation The optimum technological condition of catalytic hydrogenation for synthesis of 2,5-diamin otoluene by using 2-aminoazotoluene as raw materials,nickel as catalyst,water and methanol as s olvent is studied.The author examines the reaction time,temperature,hydrogen pressure,catalytic dose,the pH value of the solution,and proportion of materials that influence on the reaction.The r esults show that the 2,5-diaminotoluene yield is 95%,when the solvent is 70%water and 30% met hanol,the reaction time is 6 h,the temperature is 80 ,pressure is 1.4 Mpa,catalytic dose is 7%,so lution of the initial pH value is 8.
