Effect of H_2S on the transformation of 1-hexene over NiMoS/γ-Al_2O_3 with hydrogen

The effect of H2S contents on the transformation of 1-hexene with hydrogen over NiMoS/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was investigated.Inhibition of H2S on both hydrogenation and isomerization reactions of olefin has been demonstrated.And the promotion effect of H2S on the formation of C6 thiols and C12 thioethers has also been observed.It was found out that there was only one type of active site on the NiMoS/γ-Al2O3 for reactions which include hydrogenation reaction,isomerization reaction and sulfides formation reaction,...     

Hydrogenation of cyclohexene on different types of catalysts

Hydrogenation of cyclohexene has been studied under pressure in a flow reactor on the following catalysts: Na- and H-forms of Y-type zeolites, erionite, magnesium and lanthanum oxides, palladium on silica and aluminum oxide. This reaction is accompanied by skeletal isomerization to give methylcyclopentane and methylcyclopentenes. The differences in activation energies for isomerization and hydrogenation reactions were estimated as 83–96 kJ/mole for NaY and Na,K-erionite, 33–50 kJ/mole for the H-forms of the zeolites, 33–37 kJ/mole on the Pd catalysts, and 25–33 kJ/mole on magnesium and lanthanum oxides. It is suggested that the cyclohexyl complex, formed as an intermediate during hydrogenation of cyclohexene on Na-forms of the zeolites, is neither a carbocation nor a radical.Deceased.N. D.

Cyclohexene Reactivity Using Catalysts Containing Pt,Re and PtRe Supported on Na‐ and H‐Mordenite

The reactivity of cyclohexene (CHE) over catalysts containing 0.3 wt% Pt, 0.3 wt% Re or 0.3 wt% Pt + 0.3 wt% Re supported on Na‐ and H‐mordenite has been studied in an atmospheric flow‐type reactor at a temperature range of 100–400 °C, using a flow of hydrogen (20 cm³/min). The catalysts were characterized for acid sites strength‐distribution, using desorption of ammonia in DSC. The acidity of H‐mordenite (HM) is attributed to strong acid sites, whereas the acidity of Na‐mordenite (NaM) is due to weak acid sites which are not involved in the catalytic reaction under study. The catalysts containing HM enhance the reactivity of CHE for isomorization reactions. However, the reactivity of CHE on NaM catalysts enhances only the hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions. Pt/HM is the most selective catalyst for isomerization of CHE, whereas Pt/NaM and PtRe/NaM catalysts are the most selective for hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions, respectively. The hydroisomorization of CHE seems to depend only on the acidity of the catalysts, whereas both hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions were controlled by metallic function of the catalysts.     

Facile Synthesis of Chiral Cyclic Ureas through Hydrogenation of 2‐Hydroxypyrimidine/Pyrimidin‐2(1H)‐one Tautomers

A facile access to optically active cyclic ureas was developed through palladium‐catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of pyrimidines containing tautomeric hydroxy group with up to 99 % ee. Mechanistic studies indicated that reaction pathway proceed through hydrogenation of C=N of the oxo tautomer pyrimidin‐2(1H)‐one, acid‐catalyzed isomerization of enamine–imine, and hydrogenation of imine pathway. In addition, the chiral cyclic ureas are readily converted into useful chiral 1,3‐diamine and thiourea derivatives without loss of optical purity.

Catalytic activity of the VIII Group metals in the hydrogenation and isomerization of α- and β-pinenes

The kinetic regularities of the liquid-phase hydrogenation and isomerization of α- and β-pinenes over the Pd/C, Ru/C, Rh/C, Pt/C, and Ir/C catalysts were studied at temperatures ranging from 20 to 100 °C and at hydrogen pressures of 1–11 bar using n-octane as the solvent. The hydrogenation and isomerization of α- and β-pinenes occur simultaneously on the Ru/C, Rh/C, Pt/C, and Ir/C catalysts, and the reaction mixture contains the products of double bond hydrogenation, viz., cis- and trans-pinanes. The Ru, Rh, and Pd metals have a higher catalytic activity in β-pinene isomerization than Ir and Pt. Among the VIII Group metals studied, the Pd-based catalyst has the highest catalytic activity in double bond isomerization of α- and β-pinenes. The general scheme of the mechanism of hydrogenation and isomerization of α- and β-pinenes on the Pd/C catalyst was proposed.     

Ruthenium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of imines by propan-2-ol in benzene

Transfer hydrogenation of a variety of different imines to the corresponding amines by propan-2-ol in benzene catalyzed by [Ru2(CO)4(mu-H)(C4Ph4COHOCC4Ph4)] (1) has been studied. The reaction is highly efficient with turnover frequencies of over 800 per hour, and the product amines were obtained in excellent yields. A remarkable concentration dependence of propan-2-ol was observed when the reaction was run in benzene as cosolvent. An optimum was obtained at 24 equivalents of propan-2-ol to imine, and further increase of the propan-2-ol led to a dramatic decrease in rate. Also the use of polar cosolvents with 24 equivalents of propan-2-ol gave a low rate. It was found that ketimines react faster than aldimines and that electron-donating substituents on the imine increase the rate of the catalytic transfer hydrogenation. Electron-withdrawing substituents decreased the rate. An isomerization was observed with imines having an alpha-hydrogen at the N-alkyl substituent, which is in accordance with a mechanism involving a ruthenium-amine intermediate. It was demonstrated that the ruthenium-amine complex from alpha-methylbenzylamine, corresponding to the postulated intermediate, can replace 1 as catalyst in the transfer hydrogenation of imines. A primary deuterium isotope effect of kCH/CD = 2.7 +/- 0.25 was observed when 2-deuterio-propan-2-ol was used in place of propan-2-ol in the transfer hydrogenation of N-phenyl-(1-phenylethylidene)amine.     

Hydrogenation of oleic acid over sol-gel ruthernium catalysts

The hydrogenation of oleic acid to oleyl alcohol over Ru-alumina and Ru−Sn-alumina sol-gel catalysts has been studied. It was found that, besides its hydrogenation activity, the Ru−Sn-alumina catalyst promotes thecis-trans isomerization of the unsaturated acid. This effect is used to explain some kinetic features of the system, like the high induction time observed in the formation of alcohols, and to re-examine the role of tin.     

Origin of rate enhancement and asynchronicity in iminium catalyzed Diels–Alder reactions

The Diels–Alder reactions between cyclopentadiene and various α,β-unsaturated aldehyde, imine, and iminium dienophiles were quantum chemically studied using a combined density functional theory and coupled-cluster theory approach. Simple iminium catalysts accelerate the Diels–Alder reactions by lowering the reaction barrier up to 20 kcal mol⁻¹ compared to the parent aldehyde and imine reactions. Our detailed activation strain and Kohn–Sham molecular orbital analyses reveal that the iminium catalysts enhance the reactivity by reducing the steric (Pauli) repulsion between the diene and dienophile, which originates from both a more asynchronous reaction mode and a more significant polarization of the π-system away from the incoming diene compared to aldehyde and imine analogs. Notably, we establish that the driving force behind the asynchronicity of the herein studied Diels–Alder reactions is the relief of destabilizing steric (Pauli) repulsion and not the orbital interaction between the terminal carbon of the dienophile and the diene, which is the widely accepted rationale.

Quantum chemical activation strain analyses revealed that iminium catalysts accelerate Diels–Alder reactions by reducing the Pauli repulsion between reactants.     

In situ FT-IR study on CO2 hydrogenation over SiO2-supported PtM (M = Cr, Mo, W) complex catalysts

The in situ FT-IR spectra were used to study the CO₂ hydrogenation reaction over the SiO₂-supported heterobinuclear metal complex catalysts, PtM (M=Cr, Mo, W). The bands, which correspond to the formate species absorbed on the catalysts, were observed. During the hydrogenation reactions, the adsorbed linear and bridging CO was not observed. The experimental results suggest that for the CO₂ and CO hydrogenation reaction over the same catalysts, their catalytic active intermediate species and the reaction mechanisms should be different.     

Improved activity of Fe---Cu catalysts by physical mixing with zeolites for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide

The hydrogenation of carbon dioxide was catalyzed at 250°C over Fe---Cu/zeolite composite catalysts. Physical mixing of zeolites with Na-rich Fe---Cu Fischer-Tropsch catalysts drastically enhanced the activity. Branched and heavier hydrocarbons were obtained over such modified composite catalysts. It is proposed that sodium migrated from the surface of the metal catalyst to the zeolite via the solid-state reaction. It was illustrated that a solid-state reaction between physically-mixed catalysts is an attractive route to modification of the zeolites and to the preparation of bifunctional catalysts possessing both acidic and hydrogenation functions.     

Macromolecular metal complexes with memory to the catalyzed substrate

A number of complexing polymers containing carboxylic, phosphorylic, amine, imine and pyridine functional groups have been prepared and their complexes with copper, cobalt and nickel have been obtained. The complexes were prearranged for reactions of liquid phase oxidation and hydrogenation of hydrocarbons by means of formation and subsequent fixation in memory of the catalysts the structure of active centres favorable for catalyzed substrate. It has been shown that the prearranged complexes might ≤remember≥ the structure optimum for the substrate and this leads to an essential increase in catalytic activity and selectivity of the catalysts.     

Non-metathesis reactions of ruthenium carbene catalysts and their application to the synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles

Non-metathesis reactions of ruthenium carbene catalysts, such as olefin isomerization, hydrogenation, radical reaction, activation of silane, cyclopropanation, epimerization cocyclopropane, [3 + 2] cycloaddition, and cycloisomerization, are summarized. The utility of these reactions was demonstrated by the synthesis of indole using olefin isomerization and subsequent ring-closing metathesis, the synthesis of indoline using cycloisomerization, and the synthesis of the putative structure of fistulosin using cycloisomerization as a key step.     

Thiophene Hydrogenation to Tetrahydrothiophene over Tungsten Sulfide Catalysts

Independent reactions of thiophene reduction to tetrahydrothiophene and thiophene hydrogenolysis to form hydrogen sulfide and C₄ hydrocarbons are shown to occur over supported tungsten sulfide catalysts and unsupported tungsten sulfide at an elevated temperature and a high pressure. The highest rate of tetrahydrothiophene formation over the supported catalysts is observed when alumina was used as a support, and the lowest reaction rate is found when silica gel was used as a support. Both catalysts are less active than unsupported tungsten disulfide. The rate of thiophene hydrogenation over tungsten disulfide increases with increasing thiophene concentration and hydrogen pressure and is inhibited by tetrahydrothiophene. The selectivity to tetrahydrothiophene is constant (70–90%) in the whole range up to high thiophene conversions. The high selectivity over tungsten sulfide catalysts is suggested to be due to the reaction pathway through thiophene protonation mediated with the surface SH groups and to the inhibition of hydrogenolysis.     

Monte Carlo simulation of complex isomerization, II. Effect of adsorption on product selectivity

The complex isomerization A=B=C over zeolite catalysts was simulated by the Monte Carlo method, and the effect of adsorption of molecules accompanied with chemical reaction upon the product selectivity has been investigated. The results show that the product selectivity is clearly related to the difference of equilibrium adsorption constants of molecules in the reaction. This suggests that the shape selectivity in zeolite-catalyzed reactions is the result of the channel structure and surface acidity of zeolite catalysts.     

Propane formation by aqueous-phase reforming of glycerol over Pt/H-ZSM5 catalysts

Solid acid supports such as H-ZSM5, H-Mordenite, γ-Al₂O₃, USY and Beta catalysts were modified with Pt. These Pt/oxide catalysts were found to be active for propane formation through aqueous reforming of glycerol in the presence of hydrogen. The reforming reactions, possibly, proceeded through reaction cycles of dehydration on acid sites and hydrogenation on Pt sites over the catalysts.     

炔醇选择加氢催化剂研究进展

炔醇选择加氢制备相应的烯醇在医药、农药、食品添加剂、香精、香料和聚合物单体等众多高端精细化学品合成中是一个非常重要的化工过程.通过一系列复杂的平行和连续的反应,炔醇可加氢生产若干个关键中间体.提高对烯醇的选择性和保持催化剂的效率是工业生产的关键,也是一个巨大的挑战.迄今为止,各种有效的贵金属和非贵金属催化剂得到了广泛的发展,尤其是钯基和镍基多相催化剂取得了显著进展.从经典的Lindlar催化剂和Raney-Ni催化剂到生物基金属催化新材料,本文系统综述了近几十年炔醇选择加氢催化剂的设计,从催化剂本身的金属活性中心、助剂(第二金属、有机配体和稳定剂)的作用、载体的性质(孔结构、酸碱性、金属与载体强相互作用)以及反应条件等因素对催化活性、目标产物的选择性和稳定性的影响进行了系统的综述.借助先进的表征技术、理论计算和实验研究,本文还阐述了炔醇选择加氢反应的机理.研究发现:(1)在所有贵金属催化剂中,Pd基催化剂对炔醇半加氢制烯醇的效率最高,且选择性最好.稳定剂和抑制剂的加入可以提高中间体的选择性,但在一定程度上降低了催化活性.此外,Zn,In和Cu等第二金属的掺杂可以调节金属Pd的几何效应和电子结构,从而调节底物和中间产物的吸附,并抑制过度加氢.与传统的Lindlar型催化剂相比,这种Pd基合金或金属间化合物可广泛应用于炔醇的选择性加氢反应,显著提高烯醇的选择性,且不需要引入有毒添加剂.(2)Ni基材料作为可替代贵金属催化剂,可分别实现炔醇的高选择性加氢制备烯醇或烷醇.然而,与贵金属催化剂相比,其反应条件相对苛刻.炔醇加氢产物分布很大程度上取决于助剂的引入和载体的酸性.此外,碳物种易沉积在Ni表面造成活性位点被覆盖,且在水热环境下Ni颗粒因团聚而失活,因此,用于炔醇选择加氢反应的镍基催化剂稳定性仍有待提高.尽管炔醇选择加氢反应在学术界和工业界都有广泛研究,但对于这些催化体系,特别是催化剂的结构性能关系和反应机理,仍有待进一步明确.(1)原位表征技术和理论计算的发展,将有助于人们理解炔醇选择性加氢的催化过程,并指导研究者根据炔醇加氢的特点设计出具有良好选择性的高效催化剂.(2)烯醇类产品一般应用于医药中间体和高分子单体,对产品纯度要求较高.因此,在不引入有毒添加剂的情况下,设计高效、高选择性催化剂至关重要.(3)水相或醇相中炔醇选择加氢反应对催化剂的水热稳定性有很高的要求.通过锚定和包覆来增强金属与载体的相互作用,抑制金属纳米粒子的聚集和流失是一种有效的手段.此外,在炔醇选择加氢反应中引入耐水载体可以有效提高催化剂的稳定性.(4)短碳链炔醇催化选择加氢反应一直是研究的热点.然而,关于长碳链炔醇的选择加氢反应过程,国内外报道相对较少.基于长碳链炔醇底物分子的空间位阻效应,有必要设计具有特殊孔道结构的选择加氢催化剂.(5)目前,绝大多数炔醇选择加氢过程还处于间歇性操作.随着市场对烯醇的需求不断增加,为了获得高品质的产品,连续化操作将是一个必然趋势.     

Probing the imine silylenoid HN=SiNaF and its insertions reaction with R–H (R=F,OH, NH<Subscript>2</Subscript>, CH<Subscript>3</Subscript>) using DFT

The geometries and isomerization of the imine silylenoid HN=SiNaF as well as its insertion reactions with some R–H molecules have been systematically investigated theoretically, where R=F, OH, NH₂, and CH₃, respectively. The barrier heights for the four insertion reactions are 67.7, 115.6, 153.5, and 271.5 kJ/mol at the B3LYP/6-311+G* level of theory, respectively. Here, all the mechanisms of the four reactions are identical to each other, i.e., a stable intermediate has been formed during the insertion reaction. Then, the intermediate could dissociate into the substituted silylene (HN=SiHR) and NaF with a barrier corresponding to their respective dissociation energies. Correspondingly, the reaction energies for the four reactions are 71.8, 95.5, 123.3, and 207.6 kJ/mol, respectively, which are linearly correlated with the calculated barrier heights. Furthermore, the effects of halogen substitutions (F, Cl, and Br) on the reaction activity have also been discussed. As a result, the relative reactivity among the four insertion reactions should be as follows: H–F > H–OH > H–NH₂ > H–CH₃.     

Cyclohexene Hydroconversion Using Monometallic and Bimetallic Catalysts Supported on γ‐Alumina

The hydroconversion of cyclohexene (CHE) using monometallic catalysts containing 0.35wt% of Pt, Pd, Ir or Re on a γ‐alumina support, as well as bimetallic catalysts containing combinations of 0.35wt% Pt with 0.35wt% of either Pd, Ir or Re on γ‐alumina, were investigated in a plug flow‐type fixed‐bed reactor. The Cyclohexene (CHE) feed was injected continuously with a rate of 8.33 × 10^?3mole h^?1 on 0.2 g of catalyst using a simultaneous hydrogen gas flow of 20 cm³ min^?1 throughout a broad reaction temperature range of 50–400 °C. The dispersion of the metals in the catalysts was determined via H₂ or CO chemisorption. The activities of the monometallic catalysts were found to be in the order: Pd > Pt > Ir > Re, whereas those of the bimetallic catalysts were in the order: PtPd > PtIr > PtRe. Cyclohexene hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions using the current mono‐ and bimetallic catalysts were kinetically investigated applying the absolute reaction rate theory, whereby reaction rate constant, activation energy, enthalpy and entropy of activation were computed to explain surface variations on these catalysts.     

An Effect of a Support Nature and Active Phase Morphology on Catalytic Properties of Ni-Containing Catalysts in Hydrogenation of Biphenyl

Ni/Sup catalysts were prepared, where SBA-15, γ-Al₂O₃, SiO₂ were used as supports (Sup). The synthesized catalysts were investigated by the methods of low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, temperatureprogrammed reduction (TPR), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The catalytic properties of the prepared catalysts were tested in liquid phase hydrogenation of biphenyl under conditions of a flow installation at temperatures of 60–100°C, pressure of 4 MPa, volumetric feed rate of 4–10 h^–1 and H₂: feed ratio of 1500 nM.. A 1 wt % solution of biphenyl in heptane,, as a model mixture, was used. It has been established that the activity of nickel hydrogenation catalysts depends on the nickel content and the type of support. The activity of supported nickel catalysts decreases in the series Ni-12/SBA-15 > Ni-12/SiO₂ >> Ni-12/Al₂O₃. The kinetic characteristics of the biphenyl hydrogenation reaction were determined: the rate constants and activation energy for the hydrogenation of the first and second aromatic rings of the substrate molecule.
