Catalytic hydrogenation of 1,4-phenylenediamine to 1,4-cyclohexanediamine

Catalytic hydrogenation of 1,4-phenylenediamine to 1,4-cyclohexanediamine using Ru/Al₂O₃ as a catalyst was carried out in water, and the results were compared with those in isopropanol and SC-CO₂. 80% 1,4-phenylenediamine conversion with 87% selectivity to 1,4-cyclohexanediamine was achieved on 5% Ru/Al₂O₃ catalyst at 90°C and H₂ pressure of 4 MPa. The hydrogenation of 1,4-phenylenediamine is influenced by the solvent. A systematic study of the hydrogenation of 1,4-phenylenediamine revealed that the reaction was consecutive. The longer the time, the lower was the CHDA selectivity. Also, the reaction temperature was an important parameter and played a vital role in preventing the formation of side products.

Synthesis of difunctional 1,4-dimethyl-1,4-disilacyclohexanes

Transformations of HVinSiCl₂, HVinSi(Me)Cl, HVinSi(Me)Ph, and HVinSi(Me)NEt₂ in the presence of Pt catalyst were studied. In dilute solutions, the reaction gave a mixture of structural and stereoisomers of five- and six-membered disilacyclanes, resulting from intramolecular cyclization of the initially formed linear dimer. In the case of methyl(phenyl)disilacyclane, the structural isomers were separated andtrans-1,4-dimethyl-1,4-diphenyl-1,4-disilacyclohexane was isolated. The reaction of this product with HCl in the presence of AlCl₃ followed by hydrolysis resulted in the synthesis oftrans-1,4-dichloro- andtrans-1,4-dihydroxy-1,4-dimethyl-1,4-disilacyclohexanes. The structures of the structural and stereoisomers synthesized were confirmed by¹H,¹³C, and²⁹Si NMR and IR spectroscopies and mass spectrometry. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis of novel polymer containing selenium by radical addition polymerization of 1,4-benzenediselenol to 1,4-divinylbenzene

A novel addition polymerization of 1,4-benzenediselenol (BDSe) to 1,4-divinylbenzene (DVB) was carried out with various azo radical initiators [dimethyl 2,2′-azobisisobutyrate (DAIB), 1,1′-azobis(1-acetoxy-1-phenylethane) (AAPE), and AIBN] in toluene at 65 and 75°C under a nitrogen atmosphere. The polymerization proceded without an induction period, and pale-yellowish powder polymers were obtained in 89% yields for 75 h (DAIB), 89% yields for 24 h (AAPE), and 60% yields for 8 h (AIBN). The molecular weight (M_w) of the insoluble polymers in toluene was about 4000 (IBN) to 14,000 (DAIB or AAPE) by GPC. The polymer had an alternating structure of BDSe to DVB units by ¹H-NMR, IR analyses, and selenium contents, but the polymer contained the diselenide linkage by Raman spectroscopy. By AIBN initiator, the yield of the polymers did not increase over 60% and higher molecular weight polymer was hardly obtained. According to the model addition reaction of benzeneselenol to styrene by AIBN, it was found that AIBN was consumed by the side reaction between dimethyl-N-(2-cyano-2-propyl)ketenimine derivedAppl 11 from AIBN and benzeneselenol to give the adduct C, MH⁺ 295 by DCI MS. On the other hand, DAIB and AAPE initiators, which do not form a ketenimine intermediate, gave the polymers of higher molecular weight in a higher yield. The polymer film exhibited high refractive index (n²⁵_D = 1.81) and a reversible phase transition between a transparency and an opaque by thermal mode. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Similar results were obtained using the corresponding Lipshutz cyanocuprates.
