Abstract

Catalysts containing one of the metals iron, cobalt or nickel or a mixture of these are prepared by reduction of the particular catalyst intermediate with hydrogen at from 80.degree. to 260.degree. C. and under from 1 to 300 bar, in the liquid phase and in the presence of a redox system, and are used in the hydrogenation and amination of organic compounds.
