AbstractOxime chemicals are the building blocks of many anticancer drugs and widely used in industry and laboratory. A simple but robust hierarchically porous zeolite (HTS‐1) catalyst was prepared by hydrothermal methods and used for the preparation of vanillin oxime from vanillin in NH3 ⋅ H2O/DIO (v/v 1/10) system. The results of the catalyst characterization showed that the larger pore size and more framework Ti were conducive to promote the transformation of the substrates. The conversion of vanillin and the yield of vanillin oxime were both higher than 99 % under optimized reaction conditions. It was found that the reaction proceeded by oxidation of NH3 to hydroxylamine (NH2OH), and oximation of hydroxylamine with vanillin to obtain vanillin oxime, where the rate‐controlling step was the hydroxylamine formation, and the apparent activation energy was 26.22 kJ/mol. The corresponding oximation products could also be obtained by extending this method to other compounds derived from lignin. Furthermore, the catalytic system was used directly to the conversion of birch biomass to obtain oxime products such as vanillin oxime, syringaldehyde oxime, and furfural oxime etc. This work might give insights into the sustainable production of N‐containing high‐value products from lignocellulose.
摘要肟类化学品是许多抗癌药物的基本成分,广泛应用于工业和实验室。采用水热法制备了一种简单而坚固的分层多孔沸石(HTS-1)催化剂,并将其用于在 NH3 ⋅ H2O/DIO (v/v 1/10) 体系中以香兰素为原料制备香兰素肟。催化剂表征结果表明,较大的孔径和较多的骨架 Ti 有利于促进底物的转化。在优化的反应条件下,香兰素的转化率和香兰素肟的产率均高于 99%。研究发现,反应是通过 NH3 氧化成羟胺(NH2OH),羟胺与香兰素氧化生成香兰素肟,其中控制速率的步骤是羟胺的形成,表观活化能为 26.22 kJ/mol。将此方法推广到木质素衍生的其他化合物中,也可获得相应的肟化产物。此外,该催化系统还被直接用于桦木生物质的转化,以获得肟产品,如香草醛肟、丁香醛肟、糠醛肟等。这项工作可能会为从木质纤维素中可持续地生产含氮高价值产品提供启示。
