A focus is on hydrogenation of aromatic compounds, whereas the following processes are evaluated: (l) partial hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexene; (2) hydrogenation of aniline; (3) hydrogenation of diphenylamine; (4) preparation of aniline from nitrobenzene; (5) hydrogenation of chloronitrobenzenes; (6) hydrogenation of 4-nitrosodiphenylamine and 4-nitrodiphenylamine mixture. Processes (1) and (6) are typically carried out in the water-oil system. Generally, this type of system allows reaching a higher selectivity to desired products. In the case of hydrogenation of 4-nitrosodiphenylamine and 4-nitrodiphenylamine mixture, the water phase extracts a water soluble catalyst; which is recycled and used for condensation of aniline and nitrobenzene. Problems of reaction kinetics, as well as catalysts deactivation are here discussed.展开更多
The efficient synthesis of dimethylhexane-1,6-dicarbamate(HDC)from 1,6-hexanediamine(HDA)and methyl carbonate over a series of heterogeneous catalysts(e.g.,Mg O,Fe2O3,Mo2O3,and Ce O2)was investigated.The reaction path...The efficient synthesis of dimethylhexane-1,6-dicarbamate(HDC)from 1,6-hexanediamine(HDA)and methyl carbonate over a series of heterogeneous catalysts(e.g.,Mg O,Fe2O3,Mo2O3,and Ce O2)was investigated.The reaction pathway was confirmed as an alcoholysis reaction through a series of designed experiments.Under optimized conditions,100%HDA conversion with 83.1%HDCtotaland 16.9%polyurea was obtained using a onestep with high temperature procedure with Ce O2as the catalyst.A new two-step with variable temperature technology was developed based on the reaction pathway to reduce the polyurea yield.Using the proposed method,the HDCtotalyield reached 95.2%,whereas the polyurea yield decreased to 4.8%.The Ce O2catalyst showed high stability and did not exhibit any observable decrease in the HDC yield or any structural changes after four recycling periods.展开更多

Reaction of [(Me3Si)2N]3RE(ct- C1)Li(THF)3 with the cyclohexyl-linked bis(13-diketimine) H2L (1) (L = Cy[NC(Me)CHC(Me)NAr]2, Cy = cyclohexyl, Ar = 2, 6-i-Pr2C6H3) gave the rare-earth metal amides LREN(SiMe3)2 (RE = Nd(2), Sin(3), Dy(4), Er(5), Y(6)). All complexes were fully characterized by elemental, spectroscopic and single-crystal X-ray analyses. Investigation of the catalytic properties of the complexes reveals that these complexes exhibited a high catalytic activity towards the hydrophosphonylation of aldehydes and ketones in the presence of a very low loading of rare-earth metal amides (0.1-1 tool%) at room temperature in a short time.展开更多

Selective hydrogenation of acetone to isopropanol was chosen as a probe reaction. It has been found that clean preparation of isopropanol could be achieved, that is to say, the two main byproducts(isopropyl ether and methyl-iso-butyl carbinol) could be eliminated with the newly-developed polyamide supported Raney Ni catalyst. The elimination of these side reactions was attributed to the adsorption effect of polyamide support and a model was proposed. The proposed model was further proved by hydroamination reaction of acetone. According to this model, catalyst support can play an important role in chemical reactions. Different products could be produced when different catalyst support is used, the main reaction and side reactions can even be reversed sometimes when the chemicals, active component of catalyst and reaction condition are the same. This model could help to improve catalytic selectivity of many Raney metal catalysts used routinely in chemical and oil refining industry, and is also useful for hydrogenation reactions in pharmaceutical and food industry.展开更多
