Uses

Used in Agriculture:
BenzeneMethanaMine, 2,4-dichloro-N,N-diMethylis used as a selective herbicide for controlling broadleaf weeds in various crops. It is effective in eliminating unwanted plants that compete with the desired crops for nutrients, water, and sunlight, thus improving crop yield and quality.
Used in Gardening:
In addition to agricultural applications, BenzeneMethanaMine, 2,4-dichloro-N,N-diMethylis also used by gardeners to maintain the appearance and health of their gardens. It helps in controlling weeds that can hinder the growth of desired plants and can be a nuisance in maintaining a well-kept garden.

Selective catalytic amination of halogenated aldehydes with calcined palladium catalysts

This work focuses on understanding the influence of the conditions used in the calcination step of palladium catalysts on the performance of this catalyst in the reductive amination of halogen-containing substrates. The results show that increasing the calcination temperatures (from 100 °C to 400 °C) has a detrimental effect on catalytic activity but a strong positive effect on the selectivity (from 45 to 96%), avoiding the undesired dehalogenation reaction. TEM investigation showed that the reason for the different selectivity can be addressed to different Pd mean particles size and particle size distribution. In particular, larger Pd particles obtained at the highest calcination temperature (400 °C) showed the best selectivity to halogenated benzylamines (96%), with a good stability in terms of both activity and selectivity as confirmed by performing recycling tests.

Graphene-enhanced platinum-catalysed hydrosilylation of amides and chalcones: A sustainable strategy allocated with in situ heterogenization and multitask application of H2PtCl6

We describe a new sustainable strategy for the comprehensive utilization of a platinum catalyst in different organic transformations, in which an organosilicon/graphene-supported platinum catalyst prepared from a simple hydrosilylation-type reduction could be further used in the 1,4-hydrosilylation of chalcones. The rationally designed and in situ formed Pt@G@Si nanocatalyst is demonstrated to be highly effective in the 1,4-hydrosilylation of α,β-unsaturated enones, allowing for the facile synthesis of a variety of otherwise inaccessible substituted silyl enolates. In addition, with the aid of platinum catalyst residue and TBAF, the one-pot downstream Michael addition of substituted silyl enolates to alkyl acrylates is also reported in this work.

Anion conductive aromatic copolymers from dimethylaminomethylated monomers: Synthesis, properties, and applications in alkaline fuel cells

A novel series of anion conductive aromatic copolymers were synthesized from preaminated monomers (2,5-, 3,5-, or 2,4-dichloro-N,N-dimethylbenzylamine), and their properties were investigated for alkaline fuel cell applications. The targeted copolymers (QPE-bl-11a, -11b, and -11c) were synthesized via nickel-mediated Ullmann coupling polymerization, followed by quaternization and ion exchange reactions. Unlike the conventional method involving chloromethylation or bromination, this method provided copolymers with well-defined chemical structure. The hydrophilic components of the copolymers were composed of chemically stable phenylene main chain modified with high-density ammonium groups. Oligo(arylene ether sulfone ketone)s were employed as a hydrophobic block. QPE-bl-11a gave tough and bendable membranes by solution casting. The obtained membrane with the highest ion exchange capacity value (IEC = 2.47 mequiv g-1) showed high hydroxide ion conductivity (130 mS cm-1) in water at 80 °C. The QPE-bl-11a membrane showed reasonable alkaline stability in 1 M KOH aqueous solution for 1000 h at 60 °C. A platinum-free fuel cell was successfully operated with hydrazine as a fuel, the QPE-bl-11a as a membrane, and an electrode binder. The maximum power density of 380 mW cm-2 was achieved at a current density of 1020 mA cm-2 with O2.

IMPROVED PROCESS FOR THE REDUCTIVE AMINATION AND SELECTIVE HYDROGENATION OF SUBSTRATES CONTAINING A SELECTED HALOGEN

Disclosed is a process for performing a chemical reaction selected from reductive amination and hydrogenation of a first functional group in an organic feed substrate, which feed substrate comprises at least one further functional group containing a halogen atom, wherein the halogen atom is selected from the list consisting of chlorine, bromine, iodine, and combinations thereof, in the presence of hydrogen and a heterogeneous catalyst comprising at least one metal from the list of Pd, Rh, and Ru, together with at least a second metal from the list consisting of Ag, Ni, Co, Sn, Cu and Au. The process is preferably applied for the reductive amination of 2-chloro- benzaldehyde to form 2-chloro-benzyldimethylamine, as an intermediate in the production of agrochemically active compounds and microbiocides of the methoximinophenylglyoxylic ester series. Further disclosed is a composition rich in 2-chloro-benzyldimethylamine, further comprising an amount of 2- chloro-benzyl alcohol and being low in chlorotoluene isomers.
