A catalyst containing Hf4+ and Zn2+ supported on silica has been found to be highly effective for the synthesis of methylenedianiline (MDA), an indispensable precursor in the polyurethane industry. Its performance was further improved when the silica support was replaced by silica-alumina, which resulted in a catalyst that was both active and selective, as indicated by the high MDA yield and high 4,4′–MDA/(2,2′–MDA + 2,4′–MDA) isomer ratio obtained. Furthermore, the catalyst also gave an appreciable oligomeric MDA (OMDA) yield and was noticeably more stable than the zeolites that were used in comparative tests: it could be used in at least five consecutive runs without any significant loss in activity. The combination of Br?nsted and Lewis acidity strongly increases the overall activity and yields a catalyst that represents a remarkably stable and reusable alternative to the commonly studied systems for this reaction.
METHOD OF PRODUCING DIAMINES AND POLYAMINES OF THE DIPHENYLMETHANE SERIES
-
Paragraph 0134-0140; 0152-0159, (2020/03/28)
The invention relates to a method for producing diamines and polyamines of the diphenylmethane series, by condensing aniline and formaldehyde followed by an acid-catalysed rearrangement at different production capacities with alteration of the isomer composition in the resulting diamines of the diphenylmethane series (altering the 2,4′-MDA content). Adapting the molar ratios of the total used aniline to the total used formaldehyde and of the total used acid catalyst to the total used aniline, and adapting the reaction temperature, allows the rearrangement reaction to be fully completed despite the change in dwell time inevitably associated with a change in production capacity, and allows the formation of undesired by-products to be avoided as far as possible; the intended modification to binuclear content is likewise achieved.

Sc triflate mesoporous-based catalysts have been prepared using a two-step strategy (i.e., Atrane method) based on the formation of the hierarchic bimodal porosity in the first step and the formation of Sc triflate complexes at the materials surface in the second step. All solids were analyzed by EPMA, surface area, and pore size values, XRD, TEM, FTIR, and 45Sc NMR static spectra. The catalysts have been investigated in the synthesis of 4,4′-methylenedianiline (4,4′-MDA) from aniline and 4-aminobenzylalcohol. 4,4′-MDA was obtained with selectivities over 85.0% for a conversion of aniline of 31%, at 80 °C and after 24 h. Using microwaves, selectivities of 90% in 4,4′-MDA were reached in only 3 h. Important key parameters influencing the catalytic performances seem to be the scandium content and the nature of the formed Sc species. By replacing formaldehyde with 4-aminobenzylalcohol, the necessity of additional steps for neutralization and separation of the wastes can be eliminated.
Towards an industrial synthesis of diamino diphenyl methane (DADPM) using novel delaminated materials: A breakthrough step in the production of isocyanates for polyurethanes
Botella,Corma,Carr, Robert H.,Mitchell, Christopher J.
experimental part, p. 143 - 149 (2012/02/13)
Delaminated materials ITQ-2, ITQ-6 and ITQ-18 are very efficient catalysts of zeolitic nature for the synthesis of diamino diphenyl methane (DADPM), the polyamine precursor in the production of MDI for polyurethanes. The exfoliation process results in excellent accessibility of their active sites to reactant molecules as well as fast desorption of products. These catalysts present higher activity and slower rates of deactivation than their corresponding zeolites. Moreover, the topology of the delaminated structure imposes a precise control of the isomer distribution, offering an additional flexibility in the synthesis of DADPM. By optimizing the process conditions it is possible to achieve final DADPM crude under industrial production specifications with ITQ-18. This catalyst represents a real chance for replacing HCl in the industrial production of DADPM.
