Abstract

Abstract: Reductive amination of cyclohexanone with benzylamine was investigated at 100 °C under 30 bar hydrogen in toluene with five different gold catalysts prepared by deposition–precipitation method and supported on TiO₂, La₂O₃/TiO₂, CeO₂/TiO₂, La₂O₃ and CeO₂. Size of metallic gold varied in the range of 2.6–3.6 nm. The best catalysts in reductive amination of cyclohexanone with benzylamine were 4 wt% Au/TiO₂ and 4 wt% Au/CeO₂/TiO₂ giving 72% and 79% yield of the desired amine. The most acidic and basic catalysts were also unselective and exhibited low activity towards imine hydrogenation. The best catalyst 4 wt% Au/CeO₂/TiO₂ gave in reductive amination of propiophenone 56% selectivity to the corresponding amine at 20% conversion in 5 h.
