PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing 3-amino-1-propanol by catalytic hydrogenation of ethylene cyanohydrin, from a reaction mixture after completion of the reaction, by simple distillation, to obtain highly pure 3-amino-1-propanol. To provide a method that can be produced in high yield. SOLUTION: In the presence of a Raney cobalt catalyst and ammonia, while supplying ethylene cyanohydrin into the reaction system, the ethylene cyanohydrin is subjected to catalytic hydrogenation to form Produce amino-1-propanol. |
