METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ISOPHORONDIAMINE (IPDA, 3-AMINOMETHYL-3,5,5-TRIMETHYLCYCLOHEXYLAMINE) HAVING A HIGH CIS/TRANS-ISOMER RATIO

The invention relates to a method for the production of 3 aminomethyl-3,5,5- trimethylcyclohexylamine (isophorondiamine, IPDA) which has a high cis/trans isomer ratio. IPDA having a cis/trans isomer ratio in the range of 63/37 - 66/34 can be obtained in a temperature-independent manner by reacting IPDA having any particular cis/trans isomer ratio with H2 and NH3 in the presence of a hydrogenating catalyst. IPDA having a cis/trans isomer ratio of at least 73/27, which is an important starting material for the synthesis of polyurethanes and polyamides, can be obtained by combining said isomerization method with distillation methods.
