Preparation of Isophorondiamine: It is obtained by the reaction of 3-cyano-3,5,5-trimethyl cyclohexanone and ammonia in catalyst of cobalt and hydrogen at the pressure of 15.2MPa (150ATM) and temperature of 120 °C. Or using three molecules of acetone to condense isophorone, and further using HCN addition
the double bond of Isophorone nitrile (3- cyano-3,5,5-trimethyl cyclohexanone). Then we get the product by reduction and amination in presence of the H₂. The following is the reaction equation:

Uses of Isophorondiamine: It is mainly used as epoxy curing agents. And it also can react with di-p-tolyl-oxalodiimidoyl dichloride to get p-Tolyl-(7,9,9-trimethyl-4-p-tolylamino-2,5-diazabicyclo[5.3.1]undec-2-eb-3-yl)-amine. This reaction needs reagent Et₃N at ambient temperature. The yield is 85%.
