International Classification:

C07D21309

US Classification:

546251

Abstract:

A process for the selective production of 3-methylpyridine in high yield comprising the step of contacting a vaporized feed stream containing 2-methyl-1,5-pentanediamine with a metal-oxide catalyst of other than an alkali metal at a temperature of about 500. degree. -600. degree. C. for a contact time of less than about 30 seconds. The catalyst may be on a suitable heterogeneous support, and additives in the feed stream may include 3-methylpiperidine as well as water, hydrogen, ammonia, or nitrogen or some other inert gas. A fluid-bed reactor is preferred, with recycling of by-product and continuous effective runs without catalyst regeneration being accomplished at the stated temperatures.

International Classification:

C07D21324

US Classification:

546329

Abstract:

Imines are synthesized by the hydrogenation of pyridinecarbonitriles with amines in the presence of a rhodium-loaded catalyst. The resulting imines are stable and may be transiminated and then hydrogenated to form selected secondary amine products or may be hydrolyzed to aldehydes. Further, a very useful class of unsymmetrical secondary amines represented by the formula RCH. sub. 2 NHAr (in which R is not aliphatic and Ar is aromatic and not attached to R), which has heretofore been accessible only with some difficulty, can be synthesized by processes herein disclosed utilizing the reductive intermolecular coupling of nitriles and primary aromatic amines.

US Classification:

546260

Abstract:

Processes for the preparation of 2,2'-bipyridyls by reacting a pyridine base in the presence of a nickel catalyst which comprises a significant amount of elemental nickel bound on a suitable support. In one embodiment the coupling reaction takes place in several reactor designs at a temperature of about 200. degree. -240. degree. C. and a pressure sufficient to maintain at least some of the base in a liquid state during the reaction. In other preferred embodiments, processes for preparing 2,2'-bipyridyls are conducted at a temperature between about 175. degree. -240. degree. C. These latter processes require that the nickel have a high specific Ni surface area.

US Classification:

546304

Abstract:

A cross-linked polymer-supported 4-(N-benzyl-N-methylamino) pyridine material and process for its preparation in high yield and having effective physical and catalytic properties. The polymer supported catalyst is characterized by the suspension copolymerization of an organic phase containing the corresponding vinyl-substituted pyridine monomer, a styrene monomer, and a suitable cross-linking agent and free radical-generating catalyst in the presence of an aqueous phase containing a cellulose ether derivative as the stabilizing agent. A purified acid salt of the vinyl-substituted pyridine monomer useful in polymerizations and stable for storage as either a solid or an aqueous solution.
