Abstract

An efficient and stable Lewis acid catalyst silicic acid (SA)-immobilized AlCl3 (AlCl3-SA) has been successfully prepared by the chemical bonding method in this work. The results indicated that the immobilized 15%AlCl3-SA exhibited excellent catalytic performance and stability in the vapor phase hydroamination of cyclohexene with cyclohexylamine. 58.5% cyclohexene conversion with 98.7% selectivity to dicyclohexylamine was still maintained after running for over 150 h, and the space time yield of dicyclohexylamine was 142.6 mol/h·m3. The developed AlCl3-SA catalyst had the advantages of low cost and long-time stable activity. Maybe this work provides a promising approach for hydroamination of olefins to amines.
