    摘要: The invention relates to a method for producing diamines and polyamines of the diphenylmethane series, by condensing aniline and formaldehyde followed by an acid-catalysed rearrangement at different production capacities with alteration of the isomer composition in the resulting diamines of the diphenylmethane series (altering the 2,4′-MDA content). Adapting the molar ratios of the total used aniline to the total used formaldehyde and of the total used acid catalyst to the total used aniline, and adapting the reaction temperature, allows the rearrangement reaction to be fully completed despite the change in dwell time inevitably associated with a change in production capacity, and allows the formation of undesired by-products to be avoided as far as possible; the intended modification to binuclear content is likewise achieved.
