 | | The present invention relates to a process for producing 1,5-diaminonaphthalene without formation of 1,8-diaminonaphthalene and not through an unstable nitro imine and nitro enamine as intermediates, the process including the steps of dehydrogenating 5-substituted-1-tetralone to produce a naphthol compound and then aminating the hydroxyl group of the naphthol compound. |
 | | However, the nitro imine and nitro enamine, which are the intermediates in such processes, are relatively unstable compounds. |
 | | [0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel process for industrially advantageously producing 1,5-diaminonaphthalene without formation of 1,8-diaminonaphthalene which is an isomeric by-product and not through a nitro imine and nitro enamine as intermediates. |
