Direct oxidation of neat cyclohexene by aq. hydrogen peroxide to adipic acid is selectively achieved in good yield (46%), in the presence of the recyclable C-homoscorpionate iron(II) complex 3 [FeCl2{κ -HC(pz)3}] (pz = pyrazol-1-yl) and microwave irradiation, by a nitrous oxide-free protocol. Keywords: cyclohexene; adipic acid; oxidation; nitrous oxide; C-scorpionate; iron; microwave; ionic liquid; recyclable 1. Introduction Adipic acid (AA) is a highly relevant commodity produced at a large scale (over 3.5 mio metric tons/year and growing by ca. 5%/year) [1,2] worldwide, as it constitutes a building block for several industrial processes. It is mostly used for the synthesis of Nylon-6,6 polyamide; therefore, the rising demand for engineered plastics requires increased production of AA. Currently, adipic acid is mainly obtained by an inefficient and environmentally harmful two-step process [1,3] involving catalytic cyclohexane oxidation to cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone mixture followed by its oxidation with nitric acid. Thus, AA production is the largest source of industrial greenhouse gas N2O emissions (300 kg of N2O per ton of produced adipic acid) [2], which corresponds to 8% of the worldwide anthropogenic N2O emissions. In addition, cyclohexane oxidation is a low-efficiency industrial process, with conversions usually lower than 10% to ensure a selectivity of 80% for the cyclohexanol/cyclohexanone mixture [1,4]. Therefore, the development of a sustainable catalytic system for such a large-scale process is a task of high significance. In this work, we present a nitrous oxide-free alternative oxidative process (Scheme1a), using cyclohexene (instead of cyclohexane) as substrate, the environmentally acceptable aqueous H2O2 as oxidant, and employing a known [5–7] efficient homogeneous catalyst for the oxidation of cyclohexane, 3 the hydrotris(pyrazol-1-yl)methane Fe(II) complex [FeCl2{κ -HC(pz)3}] (pz = pyrazolyl) (Scheme1b) [ 8], not yet applied for alkene oxidations. The iron compound exhibits a tetragonal pyramid coordination polyhedron bearing one of the donor nitrogen pyrazolyl atoms at the axial position and where the iron atom has a vacant coordination site that could be easily occupied by a substrate [9]. In addition, this complex is easy (one step) to synthesize [8] at r.t. and requires the simplest ligand of the tris(pyrazol-1-yl)methane carbon scorpionate class. C-scorpionate tripodal ligands, with their three N atoms of the pyrazolyl moieties, are recognized to be involved in key catalytic oxidative processes with aq. hydrogen peroxide [8]. 3 Moreover, [FeCl2{κ -HC(pz)3}] displays high solubility in aqueous solvents [7], favoring the use of this oxidant.

Ni/CNT was synthesized through a traditional impregnation method, and the detailed physicochemical properties were performed by means of XRD, TEM, XPS, BET, and ICP analysis. Through the screening of loading amounts, solvents, reaction temperature, and reaction time, 20% Ni/CNT achieves an almost complete conversion of phenol after 60 min at 220 ◦C in the absence of external hydrogen. Furthermore, the catalytic system is carried out on a variety of phenol derivatives for the generation of corresponding cyclohexanols with good to excellent results.

The photoproducts, cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone, initially develop at constant rates, implying that the ketone and the alcohol are both primary products. The yield is improved by the inclusion of 1% acetic acid in the cyclohexane. With small amounts of catalyst, the reaction rate increases with the amount of catalyst employed, but then passes through a maximum and decreases, due to increased reflection of the incident light. The reaction rate also passes through a maximum as the percentage of dioxygen above the sample is increased. This behavior is due to quenching by oxygen, which at the same time is a reactant. Under one set of reaction conditions, the photonic efficiency at 365 nm was 0.018 mol/Einstein. Compared to TiO2 as a catalyst, Et4N[FeCl4] generates lower yields at wavelengths below about 380 nm, but higher yields at longer wavelengths. Selectivity for cyclohexanol is considerably greater with Et4N[FeCl4], and oxidation does not proceed past cyclohexanone.

  • Phenol Hydrogenation Over Pd/Zro2 Using Ethanol As Hydrogen Source

Phenol hydrogenation over the Pd/ZrO2 catalyst has been carried out using ethanol as hydrogen source. The reaction temperature, catalyst and ethanol quantity are found to be influencing factors for effective phenol conversion. In all cases, low quantity (5%~10%) of ethanol and high temperature is efficient for a high phenol conversion. The results show that low quantity (5%~10%) of ethanol is efficient for high cyclohexanone selectivity at low temperature (573K). However, the selectivity of cyclohexanone, cyclohexanol and cyclohexane are insensitive to the ethanol quantity at high temperature (653K). It seems that ethanol plays an important dual role: as hydrogen source and as additive to control the phenol conversion and products selectivity. Introduction Cyclohexanone is the key raw material for the preparation of nylon 6 and adipic acid for nylon 66 [1,2]. The industrial production of cyclohexanone commonly involves the selective catalytic hydrogenation of phenol. On the other hand, phenol is an established environmental toxin and phenol-based waste originates form a variety of industrial sources including oil refineries, petrochemical units, polymeric resin manufacturing and plastic units [7]. Therefore, catalytic hydrogenation of phenol for cyclohexanone is an important chemical process, and has been widely studied [3-10].

Herein, we review the most interesting systems for this process with different oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide, tert-butyl hydroperoxide and molecular oxygen. Using H2O2, Na-GeX has been shown to be a most stable and active catalyst. Mesoporous TS-1 and Ti-MCM-41 are also stable, but the use of other metals such as Cr, V, Fe and Mo leads to leaching of the metal. Homogeneous systems based on binuclear manganese(IV) complexes have also been shown to be interesting. When t-BuOOH is used, the active systems are those phthalocyanines based on Ru, Co and Cu and polyoxometalates of dinuclear ruthenium and palladium.
