- Selective one-pot synthesis of asymmetric secondary amines via N-alkylation of nitriles with alcohols
-
The synthesis of asymmetric secondary amines (ASA) is commonly achieved by N-alkylation of primary amines with alcohols. Here, we investigated the ASA synthesis via the direct amination of alcohols with nitriles, which avoids the synthesis, separation and purification of the primary amines in a first step. Specifically, the ASA synthesis via N-alkylation of butyronitrile (BN) with primary (n-propanol, iso-butanol and n-octanol) and secondary (2‐propanol, 2‐butanol and 2‐octanol) alcohols was studied on SiO2-supported Co, Ni and Ru catalysts. Competitive BN hydrogenation‐condensation reactions formed dibutylamine (the symmetric secondary amine) and tertiary amines as main secondary products. On Co/SiO2, the ASA selectivities for BN/primary alcohol reactions were between 49 and 58% at complete BN conversion, forming dibutylamine and tertiary amines as byproducts. For BN/secondary alcohol reactions, Co/SiO2 formed selectively (ASA + dibutylamine) mixtures containing 78–85% of ASA, thereby showing that the alcohol amination with nitriles is an attractive alternative route for the synthesis of valuable asymmetric secondary amines.

- METHOD FOR PRODUCING N-SUBSTITUTED AMINE COMPOUNDS THROUGH CATALYZED ALKYLATION
-
The invention relates to a method for producing a N-substituted amine compound by catalyzed alkylation. The method uses amine and alcohol or two kinds of amines as the reaction materials, employs composite metal oxides catalyst at a reaction temperature of 80-180° C. to catalyze the reaction for 6-36 hours, so as to produce the N-substituted amine compound. The reaction condition of the method of the invention is relatively moderate, using a catalyst made of cheap non-noble metals, which is non-caustic and easy to be separated and reused. The reaction does not need any medium and has relatively high conversion rate and selectivity.

- A priori phase prediction of zeolites: Case study of the structure-directing effects in the synthesis of MTT-type zeolites
-
This study first uses molecular modeling to examine the structure-directing effects of small amines that are selective for the crystallization of MTT-type zeolite phases. The optimized van der Waals interactions of these small amines are compared within the one-dimensional pore zeolites with the MTT, TON, and MTW frameworks. From these results and our previous molecular modeling studies of structure-directing agents (SDA) for MTT-type zeolites, a large number of amines or quaternary ammonium molecules are successfully predicted to be selective for MTT phases. These molecules were chosen by matching the crystallographic periodicity of the pore structure with the distances between the centers of branched groups in these molecules. These molecules vary in length and in the number of branched moieties, and a few of these molecules are polymeric or oligomeric. In test cases where the distances between the branched groups are not multiples of the pore periodicity, with few exceptions these molecules usually do not produce MTT phases. Finally, we discuss the inorganic conditions necessary for crystallization of MTT phases in borosilicate preparations with some of the diamines in this investigation.

- ELECTROCHEMICAL REDUCTIVE AMINATION. II. AMINATION OF ALIPHATIC ALDEHYDES WITH PRIMARY AMINES
-
The formation of a secondary amine by the electrolysis of an aqueous solution containing an aldehyde and a primary amine was studied.The formation of the secondary amines passes through the intermediate stage of an aldimine.The highest yield of secondary amine is attained at a molar ratio of primary amine to aldehyde of 1.2:1.As electrode material lead, cadmium, zinc, and copper may be used.As supporting electrolyte a phosphate buffer with a pH close to the pKa of the primary amine is recommended.By the method developed 32 amines with various structures were synthesized.

- O-Arenesulfonyl-N-alkylhydroxylamines as Aminating Reagents
-
O-(p-Toluenesulfonyl)-N-methyl-, -N-ethyl-, and -N-isopropil-hydroxylamines and O-mesitylenesulfonyl-N-methylhydroxylamine were prepared.The N-methyl and N-ethyl derivatives were found to react with tertiary amines and triphenylphosphine to give the corresponding N-(alkylamino)ammonium salts and P-(alkylamino)phosphonium salts, but the N-isopropyl derivative was less reactive, probably due to steric effects.These reagents also reacted with tri-n-butylborane to give the corresponding alkyl-n-butylamines.Keywords-- electrophilic aminating reagent; tert-butoxycarbonylation; di-tert-butyl dicarbonate; N-(methylamino)ammonium salts; P-(methylamino)triphenylphosphonium salt; N-(methylamino)pyridinium salt; secondary amines
