Development of a new production process for N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone

We describe the first continuous production process for N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP). The starting materials are γ-butyrolactone (GBL) and monoethanolamine (MEA). The process consists of two stages: the synthesis of N-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-2-pyrrolidone (HEP) from GBL and MEA, and the vapor-phase dehydration of HEP to NVP. The key features of this technology are the dehydration catalyst and the vapor-phase reaction system. The catalyst is of very simple composition, being alkali (or alkaline earth) metal oxides-SiO 2. Though its acid and base strengths are very weak, its catalytic performance is high. We presume that the excellent catalytic performance is due to the selective adsorption of HEP to the catalyst. Moreover, an IR spectroscopic study of the HEP-adsorbed catalyst indicated that the isolated silanol of the catalyst surface plays an important role. This account describes the progress made from the laboratory study to the industrial process, along with the experimental results and discussion.

Correlating the Synthesis, Structure, and Catalytic Performance of Pt-Re/TiO2for the Aqueous-Phase Hydrogenation of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives

Pt-Re bimetallic catalysts have many applications, ranging from catalytic reforming to the reduction of carboxylic acid derivatives. However, the exact role of Re in these systems has remained a matter of discussion, partly due to the plethora of suggested synthesis protocols and analysis conditions. This study presents an extensive comparison of such literature protocols and the resulting materials. In detail, characterization by N2 physisorption, X-ray diffraction, temperature-programmed reduction, CO pulse chemisorption, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy of adsorbed CO, scanning transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is combined with catalytic testing to yield synthesis-structure-activity correlations. Accordingly, the investigated catalysts share common features, such as Pt0 nanoparticles (1-4 nm) decorated with partially reduced Re species (ReOx-y). The remaining rhenium oxide is spread over the TiO2 support and enhances Pt dispersion in sequential impregnation protocols. While differences in the number of active sites (Pt0/ReOx-y) mostly explain catalytic results, small variations in the extent of Re reduction and site composition cause additional modulations. The optimal bimetallic catalyst outperforms Ru/C (previous benchmark) in the reduction of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)succinimide, an important step in the production of a bio-based polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer.

Extending the chemical product tree: A novel value chain for the production of: N -vinyl-2-pyrrolidones from biogenic acids

The sustainable production of polymers from biogenic platform chemicals shows great promise to reduce the chemical industry's dependence on fossil resources. In this context, we propose a new two-step process leading from dicarboxylic acids, such as succinic and itaconic acid, to N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone monomers. Firstly, the biogenic acid is reacted with ethanolamine and hydrogen using small amounts of water as solvent together with solid catalysts. For effective conversion, the optimal catalyst (carbon supported ruthenium) has to hold the ability of activating H2 as well as (imide) CO bonds. The obtained products, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-pyrrolidones, are subsequently converted in a continuous gas phase dehydration over simple sodium-doped silica, with excellent selectivity of above 96 mol% and water as the sole by-product. With a final product yield of ≥72 mol% over two process steps and very little waste due to the use of heterogeneous catalysis, the proposed route appears promising-commercially as well as in terms of Green Chemistry.

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.
