Dehydrative Allylation of Amine with Allyl Alcohol by Titanium Oxide Supported Molybdenum Oxide Catalyst

Abstract

The dehydrative allylation from allyl alcohol with amines to generate various allyl amines by MoO₃/TiO₂ solid catalyst is described. The catalyst can be reused at least three times without a decrease of activity.

Key words

allyl amine - molybdenum oxide catalyst - allyl alcohol - ­titanium oxide - dehydrative allylation

• 15 Solid 10 wt%MoO₃/TiO₂ Catalyst – Typical Preparation for Heterogeneous Catalyst ²² TiO₂ P25 (2.00 g) was added to a (NH₄)₆Mo₇O₂₄(H₂O)₄ (245.3 mg, 0.2 mmol) aqueous solution (1 mL), and the mixed catalyst was dried at 110 °C for 24 h, then calcined at 500 °C for 3 h under air; yield 2.20 g.
• 16 Dehydrative Allylation of 1 with 2 – Typical Dehydrative Allylation Procedure for Screening of Solid Catalyst A pressure-resistant glass tube equipped with a magnetic stirring bar was loaded with solid catalyst (100 mg), 1 (230 mg, 4.0 mmol), 2 (197 mg, 1.0 mmol), and n-octane (0.25 mL). The vessel was tightly sealed by a screw cap, and the mixture was stirred (500 rpm) in an oil bath maintained at 105 °C for 6 h. After the reaction, the solution was cooled to room temperature and then diluted with 12 mL of acetonitrile. Biphenyl (40 mg, 0.25 mmol) was added to the solution as an internal standard for gas chromatography (GC) analysis. The solution was placed under ultrasonic irradiation for 10 min to ensure a good homogeneity of the mixture. The conversion and yield were determined on the basis of the analysis of the mixture by GC to evaluate catalytic activities. Characterization of 3 was done by ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectra. Characterization details are shown in ref. 16.

The vessel was tightly sealed by a screw cap, and the mixture was stirred (500 rpm) in an oil bath maintained at 105 °C for 6 h.
