One-Step Catalytic Production of -Caprolactam (Precursor Of Design of a ‘‘green’’ one-step catalytic production of ␧-caprolactam (precursor of nylon-6) John Meurig Thomas*†‡ and Robert Raja§ *Department of Materials Science, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 3QZ, United Kingdom; †Davy Faraday Research Laboratory, Royal Institution of Great Britain, 21 Albemarle Street, London W1S 4BS, United Kingdom; and §Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge, Lensfield Road, Cambridge CB2 1EW, United Kingdom Communicated by John D. Roberts, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, August 11, 2005 (received for review June 1, 2005) The ever-increasing industrial demand for nylon-6 (polycaprolac- tam) necessitates the development of environmentally benign methods of producing its precursor, ␧-caprolactam, from cyclohex- anone. It is currently manufactured in two popular double-step processes, each of which uses highly aggressive reagents, and each generates substantial quantities of largely unwanted ammonium sulfate as by-product. Here we describe a viable laboratory-scale, single-step, solvent-free process of producing ␧-caprolactam using a family of designed bifunctional, heterogeneous, nanoporous catalysts containing isolated acidic and redox sites, which smoothly convert cyclohexanone to ␧-caprolactam with selectivities in the range 65–78% in air and ammonia at 80°C. The catalysts are microporous (pore diameter 7.3 Å) aluminophosphates in which III 5؊ V 3؊ small fractions of the Al O4 and P O4 tetrahedra constituting III 5؊ the 4-connected open framework are replaced by Co PO4 and IV 4؊ Si O4 tetrahedra, which become the loci of the redox and acidic centers, respectively.

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.

CECs are a class of anthropogenic pollutants not regulated by governmental agencies, and their potential deleterious environmental and human impacts are largely unknown. One of the main sources of CEC entry into the aquatic environment is wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent as the treated water is often released into bodies of water, such as river and streams. Because most WWTPs were not designed to remove organic micropollutants, many CECs are poorly removed in traditional WWTPs and persist in the treated effluent waters. As a model system for study, the University Park WWTP treats the wastewater from the Penn State main campus.

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].

Rearrangement of benzophenone oxime gave the desirable ◦ product with 45% yield at 90 C. When co-catalyst P2O5 was added, the yield could be improved to 91%. The catalyst could be reused three cycles with the same efficiency. Finally, reactions of other ketoximes were also investigated. Keywords: Beckmann rearrangement; ketoxime; acidic ionic liquid; catalysis 1. Introduction Over the past years, amide derivatives have received much attention owing to their broad range of applications in many fields such as the pharmaceutical industry, chemical biology, the agrochemical industry, engineering plastics, and so on [1–6]. Various approaches have been developed for the synthesis of amide compounds including nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions with amines [7], Staudinger ligation [8], Schmidt reaction [9] and Beckmann rearrangement [10]. However, generations of large amounts of undesired by-products and corrosive phenomenon associated with common acid (H2SO4 and SOCl2) based on liquid phase protocols provide a challenging task for chemists to develop alternative methods [11,12].
