General Description

"[trans(cis)]-4,4'-methylenebis(cyclohexylamine)" is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C14H28N2. It is a combination of trans and cis isomers of cyclohexylamine, which are organic compounds commonly used in the production of polymers, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. [trans(cis)]-4,4'-methylenebis(cyclohexylamine) is a type of diamine, meaning it contains two amine groups. It is a colorless liquid with a slightly ammonia-like odor and is often used as a curing agent for epoxy resins. It is also used in the production of flexible polyurethanes and adhesives. In addition to its industrial applications, it also has potential uses in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of various drugs. However, caution should be exercised when handling this compound, as it can be harmful if ingested or inhaled, and can cause skin and eye irritation.

Ceria supported Ru0-Ruδ+ clusters as efficient catalyst for arenes hydrogenation

Selective hydrogenation of aromatic amines, especially chemicals such as aniline and bis(4-aminocyclohexyl)methane for non-yellowing polyurethane, is of particular interests due to the extensive applications. To conquer the existing difficulties in selective hydrogenation, the Ru0-Ruδ+/CeO2 catalyst with solid frustrated Lewis pairs was developed for aromatic amines hydrogenation with excellent activity and selectivity under relative milder conditions. The morphology, electronic and chemical properties, especially the Ru0-Ruδ+ clusters and reducible ceria were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), CO2 temperature programmed desorption (CO2-TPD), H2 temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR), H2 diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (H2-DRIFT), Raman, etc. The 2% Ru/CeO2 catalyst exhibited good conversion of 95% and selectivity greater than 99% toward cyclohexylamine. The volcano curve describing the activity and Ru state was found. Owning to the “acidic site isolation” by surrounding alkaline sites, condensation between the neighboring amine molecules could be effectively suppressed. The catalyst also showed good stability and applicability for other aromatic amines and heteroarenes containing different functional groups.

The Rhodium Catalysed Direct Conversion of Phenols to Primary Cyclohexylamines

Cyclohexylamines are important intermediates in chemical industry, which are currently produced from petrochemical sources. Phenols, however, are an attractive sustainable feedstock. We here demonstrate the transformation of phenols with ammonia to primary cyclohexylamines. In contrast to previously reported chemistry which used palladium catalysts, we here show that rhodium is an excellent catalyst for the formation of primary cyclohexylamines. Different parameters were studied and it was shown that the reaction is applicable to a scope of phenolic compounds providing high selectivity.
