- Reductive amination of 1,6-hexanediol with Ru/Al2O3 catalyst in supercritical ammonia
-
Hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) is an important reagent for the synthesis of Nylon-6,6, and it is usually produced by the hydrogenation of adiponitrile using a toxic reagent of hydrocyanic acid. Herein, we developed an environmental friendly route to produce HMDA via catalytic reductive amination of 1,6-hexanediol (HDO) in the presence of hydrogen. The activities of several heterogeneous metal catalysts such as supported Ni, Co, Ru, Pt, Pd catalysts were screened for the present reaction in supercritical ammonia without any additives. Among the catalysts examined, Ru/Al2O3 presented a high catalytic activity and highest selectivity for the desired product of HMDA. The high performance of Ru/Al2O3 was discussed based on the Ru dispersion and the surface properties like the acid-basicity. In addition, the reaction parameters such as reaction temperature, time, H2 and NH3 pressure were examined, and the reaction processes were discussed in detail.

- Improved catalytic performance of acid-activated sepiolite supported nickel and potassium bimetallic catalysts for liquid phase hydrogenation of 1,6-hexanedinitrile
-
Different inorganic acids were used to activate sepiolite, and the acid-activated sepiolites supported nickel and potassium bimetallic catalysts were prepared. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption, hydrogen chemisorption, ammonia temperature programmed desorption (NH3-TPD), temperature programmed reduction (TPR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) were used to characterize the catalysts. The catalytic performance of the acid-activated sepiolite supported K-Ni bimetallic catalysts were investigated in 1,6-hexanedinitrile (HDN) hydrogenation in liquid phase. It was revealed that the potassium could increase the alkalinity of the catalyst with the aim of inhibiting the formation of the 1-azacycloheptane (ACH). And the addition of potassium reduces the particle size of nickel and improves its dispersion. Compared with hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, nitric acid treatment increases more silanol groups (Si[sbnd]OH) on the sepiolite surface, which is helpful to nickel particles adsorption and dispersion. Nitric acid activated sepiolite supported nickel and potassium bimetallic catalysts (K-Ni/NASEP) present the best catalytic performance, the conversion of HDN comes up to 92.0% under moderate conditions of lower temperature and pressure, the selectivity to 6-aminocapronitrile (ACN) and 1,6-hexanediamine (HDA) is up to 95.2%.

- Functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes supported Ni-based catalysts for adiponitrile selective hydrogenation to 6-aminohexanenitrile and 1,6-hexanediamine: Switching selectivity with [Bmim]OH
-
Functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes supported nickel-based catalysts were prepared and applied in adiponitrile (ADN) hydrogenation. The characterization results show that different functional groups such as NH2– COOH– OH– on MWCNTs surface can effectively act on metal ions by electrostatic attractions and chemical interactions so as to provide nucleation sites, and N species in MWCNTs can act as active sites for Ni deposition due to the strong electronic interactions between N species and Ni so as to promote ultra-small Ni nanoparticles formation, decrease NiO reduction activation energy, increase zero-valent Ni amounts as well as Ni nanoparticles dispersion. Furthermore, the doped N increases the lewis basicity, which favors the formation of primary amine of 6-aminohexanenitrile (ACN) and 1,6-hexanediamine (HDA). Moreover, the basic ionic liquid [Bmim]OH may switch the selectivity by inhibiting nucleophilic addition of the primary amine to the α-carbon of aldimine via the stabilization of –NH2 groups in the amino-imine intermediates so as to impede by-products formation. In addition, the mechanism for ADN hydrogenation in [Bmim]OH was studied by density functional theory calculations. Under optimized conditions, it gives 97.80% total selectivity to ACN and HDA at 95.34% ADN conversion over Ni/N-MWCNTs-800 in the presence of [Bmim]OH.

- Catalytic properties of nickel/sepiolite promoted with potassium and lanthanum in adiponitrile hydrogenation under mild conditions
-
Ni/sepiolite, potassium and (or) lanthanum doped Ni/sepiolite catalysts were prepared by the incipient impregnation method and characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption, temperature programmed reduction (TPR), hydrogen chemisorption, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), ammonia temperature programmed desorption (NH3-TPD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was revealed that the potassium could inhibit the formation of the ACH by-product by neutralizing some acid sites on the catalyst, and the lanthanum could efficiently reduce the diameter and improve the dispersion of the active nickel particles. These catalysts were tested in liquid phase hydrogenation of adiponitrile (ADN). The products include 6-aminocapronitrile (ACN), hexamethylenediamine (HMDA), 1-azacycloheptane (ACH) and C12 compounds. It shows that the catalyst doped with potassium and lanthanum gives the best catalytic performance, the selectivity to ACN and HMDA reaches to 91.32% at 92.56% conversion of adiponitrile under 393 K and 2.0 MPa.

- Liquid phase hydrogenation of adiponitrile over directly reduced Ni/SiO2 catalyst
-
Liquid phase hydrogenation of adiponitrile (ADN) to 6-aminocapronitrile (ACN) and hexamethylenediamine (HMD) was investigated on Ni/SiO2 catalysts prepared under different conditions. In this reaction, the highly reactive imine intermediate forms condensation byproducts by reacting with the primary amine products (ACN and HMD). A highly dispersed Ni/SiO2 catalyst prepared by the direct reduction of Ni(NO3)2/SiO2 was found to suppress the condensation reactions by promoting the hydrogenation of adsorbed imine, and it gave excellent hydrogenation activity and primary amine selectivity. Addition of NaOH increased the primary amine selectivity to 79% at the ADN conversion of 86%.

- Surface Characterization and Hydrogenation Properties of Several Nickel/α-Alumina Catalysts
-
Studies of the chemical preparation, X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), activation energies of reduction, temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and catalytic activities of several nickel/α-alumina catalysts have been caried out for the catalytic hydrogenation of hexanedinitrile, in a continuous process at 1 atm pressure, 443 K, and in the absence of ammonia.XPS results show complete reduction of non-stoichiometric NiO on α-alumina at temperatures higher than 623 K and higher surface nickel dispersion with increasing nickel content anddecreasing reduction temperatures.Activation energies of reduction for the α-alumina-supported non-stoichiometric NIO were higher than those of the unsupported non-stoichiometric NiO.TPR results show that the initial and final temperatures of reduction of the α-alumina-supported nonstoichiometric NiO are higher with unsupported NiO, confirming the inhibiting effect of α-alumina on NiO reduction.XRD measurements show the presence of α-alumina, NiO and Ni phases, and also the increase in crystallite size with increasing reduction temperature.Catalytic conversions increase with the nickel content and selectivities toward 6-aminohexanenitrile increase at lower nickel contents, high space velocities, and higher metallic sintering, probably owing to the presence of a higher content of specific crystal sites responsible for the production of 6-aminohexanenitrile.A mechanism is proposed.

- Efficient hydrogenation of aliphatic amides to amines over vanadium-modified rhodium supported catalyst
-
This work presents a highly efficient catalytic hydrogenation system developed for the selective transformation of tertiary N,N-dimethyldodecanamide and secondary azepan-2-one amides to the corresponding amines. Industrial hydrogenation catalysts Pd/Al2O3, Pt/Al2O3 and Rh/Al2O3 were modified with vanadium (V) or molybdenum (Mo) species as oxophilic centres. The modified catalysts were prepared by deposition of V or Mo precursor on supported catalysts via impregnation method. The catalysts were characterized by ICP-OES, XRD, XPS, H2-TPR, FTIR, CO-chemisorption, TEM, SEM-EDX and TGA. Modified Rh-V/Al2O3 catalyst displayed the best performance affording high yield and selectivity >95 % to the desired tertiary and secondary amines at moderate reaction conditions of T H2 0 sites and oxophilic Vδ+ sites in the bimetallic Rh-V/Al2O3 catalyst were determined to be beneficial for the selective dissociation of C[dbnd]O bond of the carboxamides into the desired amines.

- One-pot reductive amination of carboxylic acids: a sustainable method for primary amine synthesis
-
The reductive amination of carboxylic acids is a very green, efficient and sustainable method for the production of (bio-based) amines. However, with current technology, this reaction requires two to three reaction steps. Here, we report the first (heterogeneous) catalytic system for the one-pot reductive amination of carboxylic acids to amines, with solely H2 and NH3 as the reactants. This reaction can be performed with relatively cheap ruthenium-tungsten bimetallic catalysts in the green and benign solvent cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME). Selectivities of up to 99% for the primary amine could be achieved at high conversions. Additionally, the catalyst is recyclable and tolerant for common impurities such as water and cations (e.g. sodium carboxylate).

Cobalt-doped hybrid materials consisting of metal oxides and carbon derived from chitin were prepared, characterized and tested for industrially relevant nitrile hydrogenations. The optimal catalyst supported onto MgO showed, after pyrolysis at 700 °C, magnesium oxide nanocubes decorated with carbon-enveloped Co nanoparticles. This special structure allows for the selective hydrogenation of diverse and demanding nitriles to the corresponding primary amines under mild conditions (e.g. 70 °C, 20 bar H2). The advantage of this novel catalytic material is showcased for industrially important substrates, including adipodinitrile, picolinonitrile, and fatty acid nitriles. Notably, the developed system outperformed all other tested commercial catalysts, for example, Raney Nickel and even noble-metal-based systems in these transformations.

The first B(C6F5)3-catalyzed deoxygenative reduction of amides into the corresponding amines with readily accessible and stable ammonia borane (AB) as a reducing agent under mild reaction conditions is reported. This metal-free protocol provides facile access to a wide range of structurally diverse amine products in good to excellent yields, and various functional groups including those that are reduction-sensitive were well tolerated. This new method is also applicable to chiral amide substrates without erosion of the enantiomeric purity. The role of BF3 ? OEt2 co-catalyst in this reaction is to activate the amide carbonyl group via the in situ formation of an amide-boron adduct. (Figure presented.).

- Reduction of Amides to Amines under Mild Conditions via Catalytic Hydrogenation of Amide Acetals and Imidates
-
A simple and general protocol was developed for selective conversion of amides into amines. Amides were converted into amide acetals and imido esters by O-alkylation and then hydrogenated without isolation into amines under very mild reaction conditions over standard hydrogenation catalysts. Triethyloxonium tertafluoroborate, methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, dimethyl sulfate and ethyl chloroformate were validated as alkylating agent. The synthetic utility of this approach was demonstrated by the selective carbonyl reduction of peptide groups. Carbonyl reduction of peptide group proceeds chemoselective without racemization of the neighboring chiral center. (Figure presented.).

- A BEt3-Base catalyst for amide reduction with silane
-
Reported herein is the development of a simple but practical catalytic system for the selective reduction of amides with hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane. Low-cost and readily available triethylborane (1.0 M in THF), in combination with a catalytic amount of an alkali metal base, was found to catalyze the reduction of all three amide classes (tertiary, secondary, and primary amides) to form amines under mild conditions. In addition, the selective transformation of secondary amides to aldimines and primary amides to nitriles can also be achieved by using a proper combination of BEt3 and base. The scope of these BEt3-base-catalyzed amide hydrosilylation reactions has been explored in depth. Preliminary results of mechanistic studies suggest a modified Piers' silane Si-H···B activation mode wherein the hydride abstraction by BEt3 is promoted by the coordination of an alkoxide or hydroxide anion to the Si center.

A formal deoxygenative hydrogenation of amides to amines with RuCl2(NHC)(PNHP) (NHC = 1,3-dimethylimizadol-2-ylidene, PNHP = bis(2-diphenylphosphinoethyl)amine) is described. Various secondary amides, especially NH-lactams, are reduced with H2 (3.0-5.0 MPa) to amines at a temperature range of 120-150 °C with 1.0-2.0 mol % of PNHP-Ru catalysts in the presence of Cs2CO3. This process consists of (1) deaminative hydrogenation of secondary amides to generate primary amines and alcohols, (2) dehydrogenative coupling of the transient amines with alcohols to generate imines, and (3) hydrogenation of imines to give the formally deoxygenated secondary amine products.

This hydrogenative C-N bond cleavage methodology is catalyzed by a Pd-doped In2O3 catalyst prepared by a microwave hydrothermal-assisted method followed by calcination.

- Sustainable hydrogenation of aliphatic acyclic primary amides to primary amines with recyclable heterogeneous ruthenium-tungsten catalysts
-
The hydrogenation of amides is a straightforward method to produce (possibly bio-based) amines. However current amide hydrogenation catalysts have only been validated in a rather limited range of toxic solvents and the hydrogenation of aliphatic (acyclic) primary amides has rarely been investigated. Here, we report the use of a new and relatively cheap ruthenium-tungsten bimetallic catalyst in the green and benign solvent cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME). Besides the effect of the Lewis acid promotor, NH3 partial pressure is identified as the key parameter leading to high primary amine yields. In our model reaction with hexanamide, yields of up to 83% hexylamine could be achieved. Beside the NH3 partial pressure, we investigated the effect of the catalyst support, PGM-Lewis acid ratio, H2 pressure, temperature, solvent tolerance and product stability. Finally, the catalyst was characterized and proven to be very stable and highly suitable for the hydrogenation of a broad range of amides.

- Mild Hydrogenation of Amides to Amines over a Platinum-Vanadium Bimetallic Catalyst
-
Hydrogenation of amides to amines is an important reaction, but the need for high temperatures and H2 pressures is a problem. Catalysts that are effective under mild reaction conditions, that is, lower than 30 bar H2 and 70 °C, have not yet been reported. Here, the mild hydrogenation of amides was achieved for the first time by using a Pt-V bimetallic catalyst. Amide hydrogenation, at either 1 bar H2 at 70 °C or 5 bar H2 at room temperature was achieved using the bimetallic catalyst. The mild reaction conditions enable highly selective hydrogenation of various amides to the corresponding amines, while inhibiting arene hydrogenation. Catalyst characterization showed that the origin of the catalytic activity for the bimetallic catalyst is the oxophilic V-decorated Pt nanoparticles, which are 2 nm in diameter.

- Rhenium-Loaded TiO2: A Highly Versatile and Chemoselective Catalyst for the Hydrogenation of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives and the N-Methylation of Amines Using H2 and CO2

Herein, we report a heterogeneous TiO2-supported Re catalyst (Re/TiO2) that promotes various selective hydrogenation reactions, which includes the hydrogenation of esters to alcohols, the hydrogenation of amides to amines, and the N-methylation of amines, by using H2 and CO2. Initially, Re/TiO2 was evaluated in the context of the selective hydrogenation of 3-phenylpropionic acid methyl ester to afford 3-phenylpropanol (pH2 =5 MPa, =5 MPa, T=180 °C), which revealed a superior performance over other catalysts that we tested in this study. In contrast to other typical heterogeneous catalysts, hydrogenation reactions with Re/TiO2 did not produce dearomatized byproducts. DFT studies suggested that the high selectivity for the formation of alcohols in favor of the hydrogenation of aromatic rings is ascribed to the higher affinity of Re towards the COOCH3 group than to the benzene ring. Moreover, Re/TiO2 showed a wide substrate scope for the hydrogenation reaction (19 examples). Subsequently, this Re/TiO2 catalyst was applied to the hydrogenation of amides, the N-methylation of amines, and the N-alkylation of amines with carboxylic acids or esters.

The hydrogenation of dicarboxylic acids and their esters in the presence of anilines provides a new synthesis of heterocycles. [Ru(acac)3] and 1,1,1-tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethane (triphos) gave good to excellent yields of the cyclic amines at 220 °C. When aqueous ammonia was used with dimethyl 1,6-hexadienoic acid, ?-caprolactam was obtained in good yield. A side reaction involving alkylation of the amine by methanol was suppressed by using diesters derived from longer chain and branched alcohols. Hydrogenation of optically pure diesters (dimethyl (R)-2-methylbutanedioate and dimethyl (S)-2-methylbutanedioate) with aniline afforded racemic 3-methyl-1-phenylpyrrolidine in 78% yield.

- Is water a suitable solvent for the catalytic amination of alcohols?
-
The catalytic conversion of biomass and biogenic platform chemicals typically requires the use of solvents. Water is present already in the raw materials and in most cases a suitable solvent for the typically highly polar substrates. Hence, the development of novel catalytic routes for further processing would profit from the optimization of the reaction conditions in the aqueous phase mainly for energetic reasons by avoiding the initial water separation. Herein, we report the amination of biogenic alcohols in aqueous solutions using solid Ru-based catalysts and ammonia as a reactant. The influence of different support materials and bimetallic catalysts is investigated for the amination of isomannide as a biogenic diol. Most importantly, the transferability of the reaction conditions to various other primary and secondary alcohols is successfully proved. Hence, water appears to be a suitable solvent for the sustainable production of biogenic amines and offers great potential for further process development.

- Putrescine Transaminases for the Synthesis of Saturated Nitrogen Heterocycles from Polyamines
-
Putrescine transaminase (pATA; EC 2.6.1.82) catalyzes the transfer of an amino group from terminal diamine donor molecules to keto acid acceptors by using pyridoxal-5′-phosphate as a cofactor. The ygjG genes from Escherichia coli K12, Bacillus megaterium, and Bacillus mycoides were successfully cloned and expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) cells. The three putrescine transaminases were all shown to prefer diaminoalkanes as substrates and thereby generated cyclic imines from the ω-amino aldehyde intermediates. The addition of a mild chemical reducing agent rapidly reduced the imine intermediate in situ to furnish a range of N-heterocycle products. We applied pATA in a biomimetic synthesis of 2,3-dihydro-1H-indolizinium-containing targets, notably the bioactive alkaloid ficuseptine.

- Stable and Inert Cobalt Catalysts for Highly Selective and Practical Hydrogenation of C≡N and C=O Bonds
-
Novel heterogeneous cobalt-based catalysts have been prepared by pyrolysis of cobalt complexes with nitrogen ligands on different inorganic supports. The activity and selectivity of the resulting materials in the hydrogenation of nitriles and carbonyl compounds is strongly influenced by the modification of the support and the nitrogen-containing ligand. The optimal catalyst system ([Co(OAc)2/Phenα-Al2O3]-800 = Cat. E) allows for efficient reduction of both aromatic and aliphatic nitriles including industrially relevant dinitriles to primary amines under mild conditions. The generality and practicability of this system is further demonstrated in the hydrogenation of diverse aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic ketones as well as aldehydes, which are readily reduced to the corresponding alcohols.

- Synthesis of common-sized heterocyclic compounds by intramolecular cyclization over halide cluster catalysts
-
Five- to seven-membered common-sized heterocyclic compounds containing an oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen were synthesized by the intramolecular condensation of α,ω-hydroxy, mercapto, or amino alkanes, respectively, over halide cluster complexes as a thermally stable molecular solid weak acid catalyst in the gas phase at temperatures ≥150 °C. From ω- mercapto and ω-amino alcohols, cyclic sulfides and amines were obtained, respectively. These unimolecular reactions are thermodynamically and kinetically favored.

- Amino-alcohol cyclization: Selective synthesis of lactams and cyclic amines from amino-alcohols
-
By employing an amination catalyst, previously used in the direct synthesis of amines from alcohol with ammonia, n-amino-alcohols could be selectively cyclized to either the amide or the amine. By the addition of water, the amine could be produced as the major product whereas adding a sacrificial ketone as a hydrogen acceptor resulted in the amide as the major product. Without an additive a mixture of both the amine and the amide was observed. N-substituted amino-alcohols solely gave cyclic amines under these conditions. From 2-(n-alkanol) anilines the cyclic amines were produced, where the n-propanol derivative selectively formed quinoline as the major product.

- Practical access to amines by platinum-catalyzed reduction of carboxamides with hydrosilanes: Synergy of dual Si-H groups leads to high efficiency and selectivity
-
The synergetic effect of two Si-H groups leads to efficient reduction of carboxamides to amines by platinum catalysts under mild conditions. The rate of the reaction is dependent on the distance of two Si-H groups; 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS) and 1,2-bis(dimethylsilyl)benzene are found to be an effective reducing reagent. The reduction of amides having other reducible functional groups such as NO2, CO2R, CN, CdC, Cl, and Br moieties proceeds with these groups remaining intact, providing a reliable method for the access to functionalized amine derivatives. The platinum-catalyzed reduction of amides with polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) also proceeds under mild conditions. The reaction is accompanied by automatic removal of both platinum and silicon wastes as insoluble silicone resin, and the product is obtained by simple extraction. A mechanism involving double oxidative addition of TMDS to a platinum center is discussed.

- The ruthenium-catalyzed reduction and reductive N-alkylation of secondary amides with hydrosilanes: Practical synthesis of secondary and tertiary amines by judicious choice of hydrosilanes
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) A triruthenium cluster, (μ3, η2,η3,η5-acenaphthylene)Ru 3(CO)7 (1) catalyzes the reaction of secondary amides with hydrosilanes, yielding a mixture of secondary amines, tertiary amines, and silyl enamines. Production of secondary amines with complete selectivity is achieved by the use of higher concentration of the catalyst (3 mol %) and the use of bifunctional hydrosilanes such as 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane. Acidic workup of the reaction mixture affords the corresponding ammonium salts, which can be treated with a base, providing a facile method for isolation of secondary amines with high purity. In contrast, tertiary amines are formed with high selectivity by using lower concentration of the catalyst (1 mol %) and polymeric hydrosiloxanes (PMHS) as reducing agent. Reduction with PMHS encapsulates the ruthenium catalyst and organic byproducts to the insoluble silicone resin. The two reaction manifolds are applicable to various secondary amides and are practical in that the procedures provide the desired secondary or tertiary amine as a single product. The product contaminated with only minimal amounts of ruthenium and silicon residues. On the basis of the products and observed side products as well as NMR studies a mechanistic scenario for the reaction is also described.

- Method for making caprolactam from impure 6-amiocapronitrile
-
The invention relates to the field of production of lactams from aminonitriles, and in particular to the production of ε-caprolactam by the vapor phase hydrolytic cyclization of 6-aminocapronitrile. A crude liquid caprolactam comprising ε-caprolactarn (CL), 6-aminocapronitrile (ACN) and water obtained from a vapor phase cyclization reaction of ACN is contacted with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst to convert the ACN in the crude liquid caprolactam to a product comprising hexamethylenediamine (HMD) and hexamethyleneimine (HMI). Tetrahydroazepine (THA) in the crude liquid caprolactam is converted to HMI during this hydrogenation. The HMD and HMI have lower boiling points compared to ACN and thus they are more easily separated from CL in the subsequent distillation operations. Thus a process to make CL from ACN with fewer distillation stages, and with lower pressure drop and lower base temperature, is accomplished.
