The hydrogenation of unsaturated double bonds with molecular hydrogen is an efficient atom-economic approach to the production of a wide range of fine chemicals. In contrast to a number of reducing reagents typically involved in organic synthesis, hydrogenation with H2 is much more sustainable since it does not produce wastes (i.e., reducing reagent residues). However, its full sustainable potential may be achieved only in the case of easily separable catalysts and high reaction selectivity. In this work, various Pd/C catalysts were used for the liquid-phase hydrogenation of O-, S-, and N-vinyl derivatives with molecular hydrogen under mild reaction conditions (room temperature, pressure of 1 MPa). Complete conversion and high hydrogenation selectivity (>99%) were achieved by adjusting the type of Pd/C catalyst. Thus, the proposed procedure can be used as a sustainable method for vinyl group transformation by hydrogenation reactions. The discovery of the stability of active vinyl functional groups conjugated with heteroatoms (O, S, and N) under hydrogenation conditions over Pd/C catalysts opens the way for many useful transformations.
The properties of Pt/MgAlO x catalysts based on aluminum-magnesium layered hydroxides have been investigated in n decane dehydrogenation. The n decene formation selectivity depends on the Mg/Al ratio in the support, on the platinum complex binding conditions, and on the platinum content of the cata lyst. Increasing the proportion of magnesium decreases the number of acid cites in the support and changes the properties of supported platinum. As a result, the n decene formation selectivity under the appropriate conditions reaches 90% without a modifier added. * The 0.18%Pt/MgAlO x 3(carb) sample was synthesized using Pt carbonyl complexes, and the other sample were synthesized using Pt(IV) chloro complexes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
