Kato, Kahoko published the artcilePrimary amine synthesis by hydrogen-involving reactions over heterogeneous cobalt catalysts, Computed Properties of 6850-57-3, the publication is Catalysis Science & Technology, database is CAplus.
A composite of metallic cobalt and silica particles that exhibits high catalytic performance for the selective synthesis of primary amines RNH2 [R = heptyl, cyclohexyl, Bn, [5-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-yl]methyl, etc.] via hydrogenation of nitriles RCN and reductive amination, even under mild conditions was reported. A mechanistic study revealed that the substrate nitrile and the product amine retarded the hydrogenation of secondary imine intermediates, which resulted in a selective reaction. On the basis of this knowledge, the selectivity for the primary amine was further improved by the addition of coordinating organic mols., which provided new insights into the control of selectivity toward primary amines unlike that with classical methods using ammonia.
