Abstract:Aliphatic alpha-omega-diamines (DAs) are important monomer precursors in polyamide plastic manufacturing. However, the dominant industrial process for DA synthesis involves energy-intensive, multistage chemical reactions that are harmful to the environment. For instance, 1,6-hexanediamine (HMD), one of most prominent monomers in nylon-66 synthesis, is mainly synthesized with currently high technological control by butadiene hydrocyanation, which suffers from the use of highly toxic hydrogen cyanide, unsatisfac… Show more
