Molecular Catalysts for Selective Hydrogenolysis of Amides

A compound by the name 1,1,1-tris(di(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)phosphino-methyl)ethane. The compound can be represented by the structure of formula (I): The compound is useful as a ligand for ruthenium to form an organometallic complex. The complex is an active catalyst for the hydrogenolysis of amides to form amines and optionally alcohols.

Process for obtaining amines by reduction of amides

Disclosed is a process for the preparation of primary, secondary and tertiary amines via a catalytic hydrogenation of unsubstituted, N-substituted, and N,N- disubstituted amides. The amide is led, together with an auxiliary amine, in vaporised form in a hydrogen containing gas flow over the catalyst. The process can be carried out at relatively low pressures, between 2 and 50 bars, using typical hydrogenation catalysts like CuCr-type catalysts. The amine is obtained with high yield and high selectivity. The process can be carried out in a continuous fixed bed reactor.
