Nitrogen-doped carbon catalysts have attracted increasing research attention due to several advantages for catalytic application. Herein, cost-effective, renewable biomass chitosan was used to prepare a N-doped carbon modified with iron oxide catalyst (Fe2O3@NC) for nitrile synthesis. The iron oxide nanoparticles were uniformly wrapped in the N-doped carbon matrix to prevent their aggregation and leaching. Fe2O3@NC-800, which was subjected to carbonization at 800 °C, exhibited excellent activity, selectivity, and stability in the catalytic ammoxidation of aromatic aldehydes to aromatic nitriles. This study may provide a new method for the fabrication of an efficient and cost-effective catalyst system for synthesizing nitriles.

We report the transformation of Cs+ ions with an inactive noble gas electronic structure to active Cs+ single sites chemically confined in Y zeolite pores (Cs+/Y), which provides an unprecedented catalysis for oxidative cyanation (ammoxidation) of Csp3-H bonds with O2 and NH3, although in general, alkali and alkaline earth metal ions without a moderate redox property cannot activate Csp3-H bonds. The Cs+/Y catalyst was proved to be highly efficient in the synthesis of aromatic nitriles with yields >90% in the selective ammoxidation of toluene and its derivatives as test reactions. The mechanisms for the genesis of active Cs+ single sites and the ammoxidation pathway of Csp3-H bonds were rationalized by density functional theory (DFT) simulations. The chemical confinement of large-sized Cs+ ions with the pore architecture of a Y zeolite supercage rendered the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) gap reduction, HOMO component change, and preferable coordination arrangement for the selective reaction promotion, which provides a trimolecular assembly platform to enable the coordination-promoted concerted ammoxidation pathway working closely on each Cs+ single site. The new reaction pathway without involvement of O2-dissociated O atom and lattice oxygen differs from the traditional redox catalysis mechanisms for the selective ammoxidation.

Generation of the positive CN ion and the corresponding direct cyanation are both extremely important for cyanation of aromatic compounds. Hereby, we would like to report the simultaneous use of the new Pd nano-catalyst as well as the three types of the N-arylsulfonyl cyanamides (A, B and C) as potent reagents for the in situ generation of the positive CN ion for the direct cyanation of phenylboronic acids in acetonitrile at reflux conditions.

Herein we report an abnormal N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed dehydration of primary amides in the presence of a silane. This process bypasses the energy demanding 1,2-siloxane elimination step usually required for metal/silane catalyzed reactions. A detailed mechanistic cycle of this process has been proposed based on experimental evidence along with computational study.

The invention discloses a method for catalyzing receptor-free dehydrogenation of primary amine to generate nitrile by a Ru coordination compound. The method comprises: adding a Ru coordination compound, an alkali, a primary amine and an organic solvent into a reaction test tube according to a mol ratio of 1:100:(100-500):1000-3000, and carrying out a stirring reaction under the condition of 80 to120 DEG C; and when gas chromatography monitors that the raw materials completely disappear, stopping the reaction, collecting the reaction solution, centrifuging the reaction solution, taking the supernatant, extracting with dichloromethane, merging the organic phases, drying, filtering, evaporating the organic solvent under reduced pressure to obtain a filtrate, and carrying out column chromatography purification on the filtrate to obtain the target product nitrile. According to the invention, the catalyst is good in activity, single in catalytic system, good in product selectivity, simple in subsequent treatment and good in system universality after the reaction is finished, has a good catalytic effect on various aryl, alkyl and heteroaryl substituted primary amines, and also has a gooddehydrogenation performance on secondary amines.
Acceptorless dehydrogenation of amines to nitriles catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbene-nitrogen-phosphine chelated bimetallic ruthenium (II) complex

, p. 378 - 385 (2020/10/02)
We have developed a clean, atom-economical and environmentally friendly route for acceptorless dehydrogenation of amines to nitriles by combining a new dual N-heterocyclic carbene-nitrogen-phosphine ligand R(CNP)2 (R = o-xylyl) with a ruthenium precursor [RuCl2(η6-C6H6)]2. In this system, the electronic and steric factors of amines had a negligible influence on the reaction and a broad range of functional groups were well tolerated. All of the investigated amines could be converted to nitriles in good yield of up to 99% with excellent selectivity. The unprecedented catalytic performance of this system is attributed to the synergistic effect of two ruthenium centers chelated by R(CNP)2 and a plausible reaction mechanism is proposed according to the active species found via in situ NMR and HRMS.

A novel approach to convert aldehydes into nitriles using NH3·H2O/FeCl2/NaI/Na2S2O8 has been developed. Both alkyl and aryl nitriles were obtained in good to excellent yields. Electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups, such as fluoro, chloro, bromo, nitro, ester, cyano, trifluoromethyl and alkoxy were tolerated. Notably, febuxostat and its intermediate, ethyl 2-[3-cyano-4-(2-methylpropoxy)phenyl]-4-methyl-5-thiazolecarboxylate, were obtained in excellent yields.

Preparation of benzonitrile from benzaldehyde and hydroxylamine hydrochloride is one of the most advantageous approaches. Nevertheless, it suffers from various constraints such as longer reaction time, corrosion and recovery of hydrochloric acid, the use of metal salt catalysts and their separation. For these reasons, a novel green benzonitrile synthetic route was proposed with ionic liquid as the recycling agent in this study. The results indicated that hydroxylamine 1-sulfobutyl pyridine hydrosulfate salt ((NH2OH)2·[HSO3-b-Py]·HSO4) was an expert alternative to hydroxylamine hydrochloride. Meanwhile, the ionic liquid [HSO3-b-Py]·HSO4 exhibited the multiple roles of co-solvent, catalysis and phase separation, thus the use of metal salt catalyst was eliminated, and no additional catalyst was needed. Hence, the separation process was greatly simplified. When the molar ratio of benzaldehyde to (NH2OH)2·[HSO3-b-Py]·HSO4 was 1:1.5, the volume ratio of paraxylene to [HSO3-b-Py]·HSO4 was 2:1, the benzaldehyde conversion and benzonitrile yield were both 100% at 120 °C in 2 h. Even better, the ionic liquid could be recovered easily by phase separation, and recycled directly after reaction. Additionally, this novel route is applicable to the green synthesis of a variety of aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic nitriles with excellent yields.
