- Synthesis of Secondary Aldimines from the Hydrogenative Cross-Coupling of Nitriles and Amines over Al2O3-Supported Ni Catalysts
-
A heterogeneous Ni catalyst was discovered to be active in the synthesis of secondary cross-imines via hydrogenative coupling of nitriles and amines. The mesoporous Al2O3-supported Ni nanoparticles (abbreviated as Ni/m-Al2O3-600, where 600 represents the reduction temperature) were active in hydrogenative coupling of nitriles and amines reaction at 80 °C and 1 bar H2, affording corresponding cross-imines with yields in the range 64.1-98.1%. Density functional theory calculations reveal the hydrogenation of benzonitrile (PhCN) to benzylamine (PhCH2NH2) has higher activation energy than that for hydrogenative cross-coupling of PhCN and RNH2 on the Ni/m-Al2O3-600 catalyst, suggesting the latter reaction is more favorable. The theoretical calculations are in good agreement with our experimental results.

- Continuous Production of Dialkylamines by Selective Hydrogenation of Nitriles on a Nickel-Zeolite Catalyst
-
Hydrogenation of aliphatic nitriles in the presence of nickel supported by NaX zeolite was studied. The data obtained were used to develop a continuous method for obtaining dialkylamines with the yield of the target product of up to 98%.

- Colloid and nanosized catalysts in organic synthesis: XVI.1 Continuous hydrogenation of carbonitriles catalyzed by nickel nanoparticles applied on a support
-
Conversion of the starting nitriles and selectivity of the products formation during continuous hydrogenation of various nitriles catalyzed by Ni0/Ceokar-2 have been studied as functions of temperature. Performing the process at temperature 120–260°С has led to the formation of a mixture of products containing di- and trialkylamines as well as the corresponding imines and enamines.

- Mechanistic insights into the oxidative dehydrogenation of amines to nitriles in continuous flow
-
The oxidative dehydrogenation of various aliphatic amines to their corresponding nitrile compounds using RuO2/Al2O3 catalysts in air was successfully applied to a continuous flow reaction. Conversions of amines (up to >99%) and yields of nitriles (up to 77%) varied depending on reaction conditions and the amine utilised. The presence of water was found to be important for the activity and stability of the RuO2/Al2O3 catalyst. The Hammett relationship and in situ infrared spectroscopy were applied to divulge details about the catalytic mechanism of the oxidative dehydrogenation of amines over RuO2/Al2O3 catalysts.

- PROCESS FOR PREPARING AMINES FROM ALCOHOLS AND AMMONIA
-
The present invention provides novel ruthenium based catalysts, and a process for preparing amines, by reacting a primary alcohol and ammonia in the presence of such catalysts, to generate the amine and water. According to the process of the invention, primary alcohols react directly with ammonia to produce primary amines and water in high yields and high turnover numbers. This reaction is catalyzed by novel ruthenium complexes, which are preferably composed of quinolinyl or acridinyl based pincer ligands.
