Application | p-aminobenzyl alcohol is an aromatic amine compound, which is an extremely important organic raw material, it is widely used in the preparation of dyes, medicines, agricultural chemicals, additives, surfactants, Textile Auxiliaries, chelating agents, polymers and flame retardants. |
preparation | the semi-sandwich ruthenium complex 2a catalyzes the reduction of 4-aldehyde nitrobenzene to obtain p-aminobenzyl alcohol by the following methods: synthesis of a semi-sandwich ruthenium coordination compound 2a with 2, 6-dithione substituted pyridine: [(CymeneRuCl2)2](0.05mmol), 2, 6-dimethylimidazolidinone substituted pyridine (0.1mmol) was placed in a Schlenk reaction tube, then 5ml DCM was added and the mixture was stirred under nitrogen for 16 hours. After the reaction is finished, the solution is filtered, the solvent is removed with rotary evaporator, 2mL CH3OH is added to dissolve the solid, and then saturated KPF6 aqueous solution (containing 0.25mmol KPF6) is added, and the solid is produced immediately, washing with a small amount of water and ether afforded 58mg of a yellow-brown solid in 71% yield. In an air atmosphere, a Teflon magnet was placed in the reaction tube, and the semi-sandwich ruthenium Coordination Compound 2 a7.5 × 10-4mmol was added with 0.3mmol of 4-aldehyde nitrobenzene, 0.0375ml of CH3CN and 1.5ml of water, 1.3mmol of NH3BH3,0.021mmol of CTAB was stirred at 80 ° C. For 10 hours under vacuum. After completion of the reaction, the reaction solution was transferred to a separatory funnel, extracted with ethyl acetate for 3 times (1ml each time), and then subjected to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Analysis gave p-aminobenzyl alcohol (99.2% yield). |
