CO2-Protected Amine Formation from Nitrile and Imine Hydrogenation in Gas-Expanded Liquids

Abstract: Gas-expanded liquids are tunable media for reaction and separation. We report that gas-expanded liquids under CO2 pressure are unique media for amine formation and separation. In the heterogeneous hydrogenation of benzonitrile and phenylacetonitrile with NiCl2/NaBH4 in CO2-expanded ethanol, the primary amines are protected by CO2 so that the yield of the primary amines is greatly increased and the production of the secondary amines is effectively suppressed. In the homogeneous hydrogenation of benzonitrile and… Show more

“…The distance between O and H is 1.906 Å in the absence of CO2 (Figure 10a) and it is extended to 1.945 and 1.952 Å when the CO2-coordinated clusters are formed ( Figure 10b, 10c), which clearly indicates that the intra-hydrogen bonding between 2-nitro group and amino group in 1 is weakened by the coordination of CO2 around 1. It is well known that an amine species has strong affinity with CO2 32,33 and it may cause the suppression of intra-hydrogen bonding, resulting in the increase of the reactivity of 2-nitro group in 1 as above-mentioned in Figure 2. The structures of CO2-coordinated clusters of 2NA and 4NA with three and four CO2 molecules were also calculated using DFT simulations (Figure 11).…”

“…That is, CO 2 can function as a reaction promoter for liquid-phase reactions as well as gas-liquid reactions such as oxidation [20][21][22][23], hydrogenation [24][25][26][27][28][29][30], and hydroformylation [31][32][33]. For the substrates of iodobenzene and methyl acrylate, however, no positive effect of CO 2 pressurization on the rate of Heck reaction was observed [16].…”

“…Xie et al have reported the use CO2-expanded liquids (GXLs) as solvents for this reduction process. [10] In this report, advantage is taken of the fact that CO2 readily dissolves in a wide variety of polar organic solvent. This systems are termed "CO2-expanded liquids" and are simply mixtures of polar organic solvent and CO2.…”
