Barbaro, Pierluigi published the artcileSustainable Catalytic Synthesis for a Bio-Based Alternative to the Reach-Restricted N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone, Formula: C7H12O3, the main research area is aquivion support platinum heterogeneous catalyst preparation nanostructure; ethyl levulinate heptylamine platinum catalyst one pot reductive amination; methyl pyrrolidone preparation.
A variety of bifunctional catalysts are prepared combining immobilized metal nanoparticles and acid solid materials featuring Lewis or Bronsted acidity was reported. The catalytic systems are tested in the reductive amination of bio-derived levulinates with primary amines, using hydrogen as clean reducing agent, to obtain N-substituted-5-methyl-2-pyrrolidones, which were proposed as substitutes for the widely used, REACH-restricted solvent N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The overall process was studied in depth to identify the best combination of metal and acid functionalities to be used in one-pot and one stage. Pt immobilized onto the Bronsted solid acid Aquivion is shown to be the most efficient catalyst, with a productivity of N-heptyl-5-methyl-2-pyrrolidone of 7.9 mmolgcat-1 h-1 reached at full conversion and 98.6% selectivity, under 120°C, 4 bar H2 pressure and solvent-free conditions.
