摘要:
The present invention provides strategies for making cyclic triamines. Reactant media including certain precursors and/or certain types of catalysts can be converted into cyclic triamines with improved conversion and selectivity. The strategies can be incorporated into reactions that involve transamination schemes and/or reductive amination schemes. In the case of transamination, for instance, using transamination to cause ring closure of higher amines in the presence of a suitable catalyst leads to desired cyclic triamines with notable conversion and yield. In the case of reductive amination, reacting suitable polyfunctional precursors in the presence of a suitable catalyst also yields cyclic triamines via ring closure with notable selectivity and conversion. Both transamination and reductive amination methodologies can be practiced under much milder temperatures than are used when solely acid catalysts are used. Preferred embodiments can produce reaction mixtures that are generally free of salt by-products.

A process for preparing high molecular weight acyclic polyamines comprising providing a reaction mixture that includes at least a first component comprising a first organic, nitrogen-containing compound that contains at least two non-tertiary amine groups separated from one another by a ternary or higher carbon atom spacing that can be transaminated in the presence of a hydrogenation/dehydrogenation catalyst to form a mixture of higher molecular weight, acyclic polyamines while minimizing the formation of cyclic polyamines.

摘要:
The present invention provides catalyst compositions useful for transamination reactions. The catalyst compositions have a catalyst support that includes transitional alumina, use a low metal loading (for example, less than 25 wt. %), and do not require the presence of rhenium. The catalyst compositions are able to advantageously promote transamination of a reactant product (such as the transamination of EDA to DETA) with excellent activity and selectivity, and similar to transaminations promoted using a precious metal-containing catalyst.
摘要:
A method of transalkoxylation of nucleophilic compounds in which an alkoxylated and a nucleophilic compound are combined in a suitable vessel and reacted in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst under conditions capable of transferring at least one hydroxyalkyl group from the alkoxylated compound to the nucleophilic compound. The method is especially useful in the transalkoxylation of alkanolamines to transfer a hydroxyalkyl group from an alkanolamine having a greater number of hydroxyalkyl groups to an alkanolamine having a lesser number of hydroxyalkyl groups.

摘要:
The present invention relates to improved reductive amination processes whereby monoethanolamine and ammonia are reacted in the presence of hydrogen and various reductive amination catalysts to yield high selectivity to acyclic products such as aminoethylethanol-amine, while reducing the production of cyclic products such as piperazine. When the process of the present invention is carried out in the presence of reductive amination catalyst containing metals such as nickel or nickel-rhenium on transitional alumina carriers, productivity and selectivity to the desired products is increased. Alternatively, the process may be carried out in the presence of hydrotalcite-like or takovite-like catalysts which have been enhanced by the use of promoters to achieve the desired results.

摘要:
This invention relates to a process for making amines having a high yield weight percent of diethylenetriamine (DETA) and aminoethylethanolamine (AEEA) by condensing an amino compound in the presence of a condensation catalyst selected from a Group IVB metal oxide, a Group VIB metal-containing substance and a promoted condensation catalyst. This invention also relates to an alkyleneamines producers composition rich in DETA and AEEA.
