Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of N,N-dimethylamines by reaction of an aldehyde with dimethylamine and hydrogen under pressure and at elevated temperature in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst containing Ni, Co, Cu, Mn, Fe, Rh, Pd and/or Pt. After unconverted dimethylamine and excess hydrogen have been separated off, formaldehyde or a formaldehyde-forming substance is added, and distillation is carried out.
