Nickel nitriles

Both bis(l,5-cyclooctadiene)nickel(0) and bis(acrylonitrile)nickel(0) catalyze the polymerization of allene to highly crystalline linear polymers (451). With compounds such as tri-o-tolyl phosphite, bis(acrylo-nitrile)nickel in hydrocarbon catalyzes the cyclodimerization of butadiene to 1,5-cyclooctadiene, whereas in alcohols it catalyzes the... [Pg.310]

Well-defined 1 1 and 1 2 adducts with triphenylphosphine are formed with ease 42,45, 46). The yellow 1 1 adduct is more stable than bis(acrylo-nitrile)-nickel itself (dec. p. 185° C) and represents one of the first examples of a nickel complex with the coordination number three. The 2 1 adduct is monomeric in benzene and has a dipole moment of 6 Debye units (46). Unstable bis(pyridine) adducts were also isolated, but were found to decompose at room temperature, depositing metallic nickel (46). [Pg.14]

Ni(H2C=CHCN)4 is incapable of existence. The formation of stable mono and bis adducts with phosphines, on the other hand, is to be expected as the latter are mainly a bonding 37). It was recently found that bis(acrylo-nitrile)-nickel is not formed if the reaction is performed under moderate carbon monoxide pressure. Evidently carbon monoxide may effectively compete with the acrylonitrile during the substitution process. [Pg.15]

Stoichiometric yields (Fig. 7). The reaction of acetylene with bis(acrylo-nitrile)-nickel is not catalytic. During reaction, the tr-bonded acrylonitrile molecules are displaced by acetylene molecules. The final intermediate complex would have the composition Ni(C2H2)4 and could decompose into nickel and cyclooctatetraene. The nickel atom evidently cannot be resolvated by acetylene and the reaction comes to an end. [Pg.33]

Since cyclooctadiene has no suitable low-lying unoccupied orbitals some of the 3d electrons of nickel are expected to have a relatively high antibonding character. It is therefore not surprising that the nickel complex is extremely reactive, air-sensitive, and very unstable in solutions even in the absence of oxygen. Carbon monoxide at room temperature completely displaces the cyclooctadiene molecules and yields nickel carbonyl (99). Acrylonitrile reacts with (LII) under similarly mild conditions, forming bis(acrylo-nitrile)-nickel 101), while duroquinone, well below room temperature, affords cyclooctadiene-duroquinone-nickel 101). These reactions uniquely demonstrate the close interrelationship between all complexes of zero-valent nickel. [Pg.39]

The Sandmeyer reaction may also be applied to the preparation of nitriles. The solution of the diazonium salt is added to a solution of cuprous cyanide in excess of sodium or potassium cyanide solution (sometimes improved yields are obtained by substituting nickel cyanide for cuprous cyanide), for example CH3 CH, CH3... [Pg.594]

Adiponitrile undergoes the typical nitrile reactions, eg, hydrolysis to adipamide and adipic acid and alcoholysis to substituted amides and esters. The most important industrial reaction is the catalytic hydrogenation to hexamethylenediarnine. A variety of catalysts are used for this reduction including cobalt—nickel (46), cobalt manganese (47), cobalt boride (48), copper cobalt (49), and iron oxide (50), and Raney nickel (51). An extensive review on the hydrogenation of nitriles has been recendy pubUshed (10). [Pg.220]

Even ia 1960 a catalytic route was considered the answer to the pollution problem and the by-product sulfate, but nearly ten years elapsed before a process was developed that could be used commercially. Some of the eadier attempts iacluded hydrolysis of acrylonitrile on a sulfonic acid ion-exchange resia (69). Manganese dioxide showed some catalytic activity (70), and copper ions present ia two different valence states were described as catalyticaHy active (71), but copper metal by itself was not active. A variety of catalysts, such as Umshibara or I Jllmann copper and nickel, were used for the hydrolysis of aromatic nitriles, but aUphatic nitriles did not react usiag these catalysts (72). Beginning ia 1971 a series of patents were issued to The Dow Chemical Company (73) describiag the use of copper metal catalysis. Full-scale production was achieved the same year. A solution of acrylonitrile ia water was passed over a fixed bed of copper catalyst at 85°C, which produced a solution of acrylamide ia water with very high conversions and selectivities to acrylamide. [Pg.135]

The zwitterion (6) can react with protic solvents to produce a variety of products. Reaction with water yields a transient hydroperoxy alcohol (10) that can dehydrate to a carboxyUc acid or spHt out H2O2 to form a carbonyl compound (aldehyde or ketone, R2CO). In alcohoHc media, the product is an isolable hydroperoxy ether (11) that can be hydrolyzed or reduced (with (CH O) or (CH2)2S) to a carbonyl compound. Reductive amination of (11) over Raney nickel produces amides and amines (64). Reaction of the zwitterion with a carboxyUc acid to form a hydroperoxy ester (12) is commercially important because it can be oxidized to other acids, RCOOH and R COOH. Reaction of zwitterion with HCN produces a-hydroxy nitriles that can be hydrolyzed to a-hydroxy carboxyUc acids. Carboxylates are obtained with H2O2/OH (65). The zwitterion can be reduced during the course of the reaction by tetracyanoethylene to produce its epoxide (66). [Pg.494]

Hydrogenation Catalysts. The key to catalytic hydrogenation is the catalyst, which promotes a reaction which otherwise would occur too slowly to be useful. Catalysts for the hydrogenation of nitro compounds and nitriles are generally based on one or more of the group VIII metals. The metals most commonly used are cobalt, nickel, palladium, platinum, rhodium, and mthenium, but others, including copper (16), iron (17), and tellurium... [Pg.258]

Conversion of the nitrile to the amide has been achieved by both chemical and biological means. Several patents have described the use of modified Raney nickel catalysts ia this appHcation (25,26). Also, alkaH metal perborates have demonstrated their utiHty (27). Typically, the hydrolysis is conducted ia the presence of sodium hydroxide (28—31). Owiag to the fact that the rate of hydrolysis of the nitrile to the amide is fast as compared to the hydrolysis of the amide to the acid, good yields of the amide are obtained. Other catalysts such as magnesium oxide (32), ammonia (28,29,33), and manganese dioxide (34) have also been employed. [Pg.49]

Eatty amines are made by dehydration of amides to nitriles at 280—330°C, followed by hydrogenation of the nitrile over nickel or cobalt catalysts ... [Pg.85]

Supported palladium, zirconium-promoted cobalt on kieselguhr, or nickel on kieselguhr can be used under relatively mild conditions to effect reduction of the nitrile function without hydrogenating the ring. [Pg.200]

Elastomers, plastics, fabrics, wood and metals can be joined with themselves and with each other using nitrile rubber/epoxy resin blends cured with amines and/or acidic agents. Ethylene-propylene vulcanizates can also be joined using blends of carboxylated nitrile rubber, epoxy resin and a reactive metal filler (copper, nickel, cobalt). However, one of the largest areas of use of nitrile rubber modified epoxy systems is in the printed circuit board area [12]. [Pg.660]

Nickel peroxide is a solid, insoluble oxidant prepared by reaction of nickel (II) salts with hypochlorite or ozone in aqueous alkaline solution. This reagent when used in nonpolar medium is similar to, but more reactive than, activated manganese dioxide in selectively oxidizing allylic or acetylenic alcohols. It also reacts rapidly with amines, phenols, hydrazones and sulfides so that selective oxidation of allylic alcohols in the presence of these functionalities may not be possible. In basic media the oxidizing power of nickel peroxide is increased and saturated primary alcohols can be oxidized directly to carboxylic acids. In the presence of ammonia at —20°, primary allylic alcohols give amides while at elevated temperatures nitriles are formed. At elevated temperatures efficient cleavage of a-glycols, a-ketols... [Pg.248]

ANILINES, BENZYL AMINES, AND ANALOGUES An orally active local anesthetic agent that can be used as an (intiarrhythmic agent is meobenti ne (57). Its patented synthesis starts with -hydroxyphenyl nitrile and proceeds by dimethyl sulfate etherification and Raney nickel reduction to Alkylation of -methyl-dimethylthiourea with completes l.he synthesis of meobenti ne (57). ... [Pg.45]

Nickel in the presence of ammonia is often used for reduction of nitriles to primary amines. The reaction is done at elevated temperatures and pressures ( 100 C, 1000 psig) unless massive amounts of nickel are used. Cobalt is used similarly but mainly under even more vigorous conditions. Nitriles containing a benzylamine can be reduced over Raney nickel to an amine without hydrogenolysis of the benzyl group (7). A solution of butoxycarbonyl)-3-aminopropyl]-N-<3-cyanopropyl)benzylamine (13.6 g) in 100 ml of ethanol containing 4 g. NaOH was reduced over 3.0 g Raney nickel at 40 psig for 28 h. The yield of A/ -benzyl-Air -(f-butoxycarbonyl)s >ermidine was 95% (7). [Pg.97]

Catalysts show remarkable product variation in hydrogenation of simple nitriles. Propionitrile, in neutral, nonreactive media, gives on hydrogenation over rhodium-on-carbon high yields of dipropylamine, whereas high yields of tripropylamine arise from palladium or platinum-catalyzed reductions (71). Parallel results were later found for butyronitrile (2S) and valeronitrile (74) but not for long-chain nitriles. Good yields of primary aliphatic amines can be obtained by use of cobalt, nickel, nickel boride, rhodium, or ruthenium in the presence of ammonia (4J 1,67,68,69). [Pg.97]

Transformation of the amino nitriles to the corresponding amino acids, with removal of the dioxane ring, is carried out in two steps. Treatment with concentrated hydrochloric acid results in the hydrolysis of both the nitrile and the acetal group, and in cyclization to the corresponding 3-substituted 5-hydroxyniethyl-3-methyl-2-oxo-6-phenylmorpholinc hydrochlorides. Oxidative cleavage with 2 N sodium hydroxide solution, air and Raney nickel at 120 CC (ca. 30 h) delivers the hydrochlorides of the free a-methylamino acids in high yield. [Pg.790]

Vinylic copper reagents react with CICN to give vinyl cyanides, though BrCN and ICN give the vinylic halide instead." Vinylic cyanides have also been prepared by the reaction between vinylic lithium compounds and phenyl cyanate PhOCN." Alkyl cyanides (RCN) have been prepared, in varying yields, by treatment of sodium trialkylcyanoborates with NaCN and lead tetraacetate." Vinyl bromides reacted with KCN, in the presence of a nickel complex and zinc metal to give the vinyl nitrile. Vinyl triflates react with LiCN, in the presence of a palladium catalyst, to give the vinyl nitrile." ... [Pg.802]

The reaction between aryl halides and cuprous cyanide is called the Rosenmund-von Braun reactionP Reactivity is in the order I > Br > Cl > F, indicating that the SnAt mechanism does not apply.Other cyanides (e.g., KCN and NaCN), do not react with aryl halides, even activated ones. However, alkali cyanides do convert aryl halides to nitrilesin dipolar aprotic solvents in the presence of Pd(II) salts or copper or nickel complexes. A nickel complex also catalyzes the reaction between aryl triflates and KCN to give aryl nitriles. Aromatic ethers ArOR have been photochemically converted to ArCN. [Pg.867]

Pyridine compounds 45 can also be produced by the NHC-Ni catalysed cycloaddition between nitriles 43 and diynes 44 (Scheme 5.13) [16]. The SIPr carbene was found to be the best ligand for the nickel complex in this reaction. The reaction required mild reaction conditions and low catalyst loadings, as in the case of cycloaddition of carbon dioxide. In addition to tethered aUcynes (i.e. diynes), pyridines were prepared from a 3-component coupling reaction with 43 and 3-hexyne 23 (Scheme 5.13). The reaction of diynes 44 and nitriles 43 was also catalysed by a combination of [Ni(COD)J, NHC salts and "BuLi, which generates the NHC-Ni catalyst in situ. The pyridines 45 were obtained with comparable... [Pg.138]
