Catalysis of polymer-protected Ni/Pd bimetallic nano-clusters for hydrogenation of nitrobenzene derivatives
Lu, Ping,Toshima, Naoki
, p. 751 - 758 (2000)
Poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone)-protected Ni/Pd bimetallic colloidal nanoparticles, prepared by the polyol reduction method, have been proved to have a nanometer-sized alloy structure with both metals at zerovalent state by our previous study of TEM, XRD, EXAFS, and XPS analyses. Here, dispersions of these bimetallic nanoclusters with different composition ratios are extensively examined as catalysts for the hydrogenation of various nitrobenzene derivatives: i.e., p-nitrotoluene, p-nitroanisole, 1- nitronaphthalene, p-nitrobenzonitrile, and methyl p-nitrobenzoate, at 30 °C under an atmospheric pressure of hydrogen. These bimetallic nanoclusters exhibit excellent catalytic properties for the reduction of a nitro group to an amino group with high selectivity. The catalytic activity strongly depends on the metal composition of the particles. The maximum catalytic activity can be observed at a certain intermediate composition ratio, being 3-4 times greater than that of a monometallic colloidal Pd catalyst. A bimetallic nanocluster with the mole ratio of Ni: Pd = 1/4 was the most active catalyst for the hydrogenation of para-substituted nitrobenzenes. An approximately linear relationship exists between the hydrogenation rate of the substrate with an electron-donating or electron-withdrawing group and the corresponding Hammett constant of the substituent, as well as between the hydrogenation rate and the LUMO energy level of the substrate.

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.

Various cobalt pincer type complexes 1-6 were applied for the catalytic hydrogenation of nitriles to amines. Among these, catalyst 4 is the most efficient, allowing the reduction of aromatic as well as aliphatic nitriles in moderate to excellent yields.

Here we present the first example of a mild and high-efficiency protocol enabling a process in water using 1 atm of H2 for the efficient and selective hydrogenation of nitriles, nitro compounds, ketones, and aldehydes to yield primary amines and alcohols with satisfactory yields of up to >99%. Several palladium-based nanoparticle catalysts were prepared from K2PdCl4 and ligands, and one of them was found to be the best and most suitable for the hydrogenation of CN, C-NO2, and CO bonds. In addition, the catalyst Pd-NPs can be easily recycled and reused without losing their activity and selectivity. A plausible mechanism for the hydrogenation of a CN bond was also proposed, representing the first example that possesses great potential for sustainable industrial purposes.

Hydrogenation of nitriles to afford amines under mild conditions is a challenging task with an inexpensive heterogeneous catalyst, and it is even more difficult to obtain primary amines selectively because of the accompanying self-coupling side reactions. An efficient catalytic system was designed as Fe3O4@nSiO2-NH2-RhCu@mSiO2 to prepare primary amines through the transfer hydrogenation of nitrile compounds with economical HCOOH as the hydrogen donor. The loading of rhodium in the catalyst could be at the ppm level, and the TOF reaches 6803 h-1 for Rh. This catalytic system has a wide substrate range including some nitriles that could not proceed in the previous literature. The experimental results demonstrate that the excellent selectivity for primary amines is guaranteed by three tactics, which are the strong active site, the inhibition of side products by the hydrogen source and the special pore structure of the catalyst. In addition, the catalyst could be reused ten times without activity loss through convenient magnetic recovery.

Herein, a hierarchical magnetic mesoporous microsphere was successfully prepared as a photocatalyst via a simple and reproducible route. Typically, Pd nanoparticles (NPs) were evenly dispersed on the surface of a magnetic Fe3O4 microsphere and then coated with a porous anatase-TiO2 shell to form Fe3O4-Pd@TiO2. The core-shell structure could efficiently suppress the conglomeration of Pd NPs during the calcination process at high temperatures as well as the shedding of Pd during the catalytic reaction process in the liquid phase. The as-prepared photocatalyst was characterized by TEM, XRD, XPS, VSM, and N2 adsorption-desorption. Fe3O4-Pd@TiO2 exhibits high photocatalytic activity for the selective reduction of aromatic cyanides to aromatic primary amines in an acidic aqueous solution. Moreover, this magnetic photocatalyst could be easily recovered from the reaction mixture by an external magnet and reused five times without significant reduction in its activity. The superior photocatalytic efficiency of the proposed photocatalyst may be attributed to its high charge separation efficiency and charge transfer rate, which are caused by the Schottky junction and large interface area. The results indicate that the strategy of coating the active noble metal sites with a mesoporous semiconductor shell has a significant potential for application in metal-semiconductor-based photocatalytic reactions.

, p. 5412 - 5420 (2019/11/13)
An efficient additive-free manganese-catalyzed hydrogenation of nitriles to primary amines with molecular hydrogen is described. The pre-catalyst, a well-defined bench-stable alkyl bisphosphine Mn(I) complex fac-[Mn(dpre)(CO)3(CH3)] (dpre=1,2-bis(di-n-propylphosphino)ethane), undergoes CO migratory insertion into the manganese-alkyl bond to form acyl complexes which upon hydrogenolysis yields the active coordinatively unsaturated Mn(I) hydride catalyst [Mn(dpre)(CO)2(H)]. A range of aromatic and aliphatic nitriles were efficiently and selectively converted into primary amines in good to excellent yields. The hydrogenation of nitriles proceeds at 100 °C with a catalyst loading of 2 mol % and a hydrogen pressure of 50 bar. Mechanistic insights are provided by means of DFT calculations.

A high-yielding and high-rate reduction method that operates with alkenes, alkynes, azides, nitriles, and nitroarenes was developed and optimized. The method makes use of sodium borohydride reduction of CoSO4 under release of hydrogen along with the formation of Co2B as a nanoparticle material. The produced Co2B activates the various functional groups for hydride reduction. The protocol was proven to operate with an assortment of functional groups to provide good to excellent yields. Furthermore, the reduction method was successfully adapted, implemented, and developed for a continuous flow approach using the multi-jet oscillating disk (MJOD) flow reactor platform at atmospheric pressure.

Efficient hydrogenations of nitriles and ketones with molecular hydrogen catalyzed by a well-defined bench-stable bisphosphine Mn(I) complex are described. These reactions are environmentally benign and atomically economic, implementing an inexpensive, earth-abundant nonprecious metal catalyst. A range of aromatic and aliphatic nitriles and ketones were efficiently converted into primary amines and alcohols, respectively, in good to excellent yields. The hydrogenation of nitriles proceeds at 100 °C with catalyst loading of 2 mol % and 20 mol % base (t-BuOK), while the hydrogenation of ketones takes place already at 50 °C, with a catalyst loading of 1 mol % and 5 mol % of base. In both cases, a hydrogen pressure of 50 bar was applied.

Abstract: A novel protocol for the deprotection of N-benzyloxycarbonyl and O-benzyloxycarbonyl groups by nickel boride generated in situ from NaBH4 and NiCl2·6H2O in methanol at room temperature has been developed to give the corresponding amines and phenols. This protocol is chemoselective as groups like chloro, bromo, amide, ester, pyridine, and tert-butyloxycarbonyl moiety are unaffected under these conditions. The deprotection has also been validated in gram scale reactions, to establish the wider appropriateness of this protocol. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].
