The present invention discloses a method for producing a hydroxylamine
compound wherein a nitro compound is contacted with a hydrogen source or
further with a poisoning agent in the presence of a platinum catalyst
fixed on an ion-exchange resin. According to the method of the present
invention where a platinum catalyst fixed on a matrix of an ion-exchange
resin is used, the objective hydroxylamine compound can be produced
(manufactured) efficiently, more industrially and safely with little
formation of a byproduct. Further, the platinum catalyst fixed on an
ion-exchange resin of the present invention is hardly deactivated even if
repeatedly used many times because platinum metal is fixed on a matrix of
the ion-exchange resin, and handling in recovery, reuse and the like of
said catalyst is extremely easy because particle size of said catalyst is
very large.
