摘要:
A catalyst for the vapor phase intramolecular dehydration reaction of an alkanolamine represented by the general formula ##STR1## wherein each of R and R' is selected from hydrogen, a methyl group and an ethyl group, and n is an integer of 2 to 5,to convert it into a cyclic amine represented by the general formula ##STR2## wherein R, R' and n are as defined above. The catalyst is an oxide composition represented by the following formulaX.sub.a P.sub.b Y.sub.c O.sub.dwherein X is at least one element selected from alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, P is phosphorus, Y is at least one element selected from B, Al, Si, S, Sc, Ti, Cu, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Sn, Sb, La, Ce, Ta, W, Tl, Pb, Bi and Th, O is oxygen, the suffixes a, b, c and d represent the atomic ratios of the elements X, P, Y and O, and when a=1, b=0.01-3 and c=0-100, and d is a value determined by a, b and c and the state of bonding of the constituent elements.
