Water → (2-Methylcyclohexyl)methanamine

참여 물질

반응 단계

In a 3-liter GL autoclave fitted with a electromagnetic stirrer are added 129 g of isoindoline, 516 g of 50% water-containing tert-butyl alcohol and 26 g of 5% ruthenium-carbon catalyst (50% water-containing). The reaction mixture is subjected to a hydrogen-pressure of 30 kg/cm2 and a temperature of 130° C. After a 6 hour hydrogen introduction, the drop in the rate of the hydrogen-absorption is observed, at this point the introduction of hydrogen is ceased to terminate the reaction. After the termination of reaction, the catalyst is filtered out from the reacted solution. By the result of the capillary chromatographic analysis, the yield of cis-hexahydroisoindoline is 96.0%. In addition, 0.1% of trans-hexahydroisoindoline and 3.8% of 2-methylcyclohexylmethylamine is formed. After concentrating the reacted solution, the residue is purified by distillation to give 123.2 g of cis-hexahydroisoindoline (yield 91%).
