Abstract
The present invention aims to provide a method for producing N-methylated amine compounds that does not require formaldehyde and can produce N-methylated amine compounds in excellent yield. [Solution] A method for producing an N-methylated amine compound, characterized by heating an aliphatic amine compound having at least one amino group in its molecule to 50 to 250°C in an atmosphere in which carbon dioxide at 0.1 to 10 MPa (gauge pressure) and hydrogen at 0.1 to 20 MPa (gauge pressure) are introduced, in the presence of a catalyst on which a sulfur element and an active metal element are supported on a carrier, thereby methylating the amino group.
