The invention relates to a process for preparing aminoanisole and 
aniline by taking a mixture of a nitroanisole and 
nitrochlorobenzene as a 
raw material. The process comprises the following: (1) a step of the 
catalytic hydrogenation reaction and the catalytic dechlorination reaction, during which, 
methanol is taken as a 
solvent, the mixture of the nitroanisole and the 
nitrochlorobenzene is taken as the 
raw material, catalyst is added, 
hydrogen is aerated; (2) a step of the 
solid-liquid separation, during which, 
solid and liquid in the material obtained from the step (1) after the 
catalytic hydrogenation reaction and the catalytic dechlorination reaction are separated, a 
liquid phase comprises aminoanisole, 
aniline, 
methanol, 
hydrochloride and water and is utilized in the next step; (3) a step of the liquid-liquid separation, during which, the 
oil phase-water phase liquid-liquid separation is performed in the material obtained in the step (2), the aminoanisole and 
aniline in the 
oil phase is utilized in the next step; (4) a step of 
distillation separation, during which, the 
distillation separation is performed in the 
oil phase to produce products of paraphenetidine, ortho-anisidineand aniline. The process for preparing the aminoanisole and the aniline has the advantages that: (1) the cost is low, the preliminary treatment step is saved, the process is simple; (2) the process is clean, the 
energy consumption is low, the 'three wastes' are little; (3) the purity of the product is high.
