Method for producing ammonia, molybdenum complex compound, and benzimidazole compound
Technical Field
The present application relates to a method for producing ammonia, a molybdenum complex compound, and a benzimidazole compound.
Background
The Haber (Haber-Bosch) process, which is an industrial process for converting nitrogen molecules into ammonia, is an energy-consuming process requiring high-temperature and high-pressure reaction conditions. In contrast, in recent years, a method for producing ammonia from nitrogen molecules under mild conditions has been developed. For example, non-patent document 1 reports that 415 equivalents of ammonia based on a molybdenum complex as a catalyst is produced by adding a toluene solution of decamethylcobaltocene as a reducing agent to a toluene solution of a molybdenum-iodine complex having a PNP ligand as a catalyst and 2,4, 6-trimethylpyridine triflate as a proton source in the presence of nitrogen at normal pressure at room temperature and stirring the mixture as shown in the following formula.

Examples
Hereinafter, examples of the present application will be described. In addition, the following examples do not limit the present application at all.
Experimental examples 1 to 21
Ammonia (table 1) was produced from nitrogen molecules in the presence of a reducing agent and a proton source using molybdenum complex (1 a) (chemical formula shown outside the column of table 1) as a catalyst. In the following experimental example, when ammonia was generated in an amount exceeding 2 equivalents relative to molybdenum metal in the catalyst, it was determined that ammonia was generated catalytically. The molybdenum complex (1 a) was synthesized by reference to a known document (Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn.2017, vol.90, pp 1111-1118).
TABLE 1
a Reductant datum b 1mL of THF was used c No catalyst d Using CoCp 2 As a reducing agent
In Experimental example 1, molybdenum complex (1 a) (1.7 mg,0.002 mmol) as a catalyst and SmI as a reducing agent were reacted at room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere at normal pressure 2 (thf) 2 (solid Crystal, 0.36mmol,180 equivalent to molybdenum) in tetrahydrofuran (6 mL) was added as a hydrogen ion source(20. Mu.L, 0.36mmol,180 equivalents relative to the reducing agent, 1 equivalent (1-fold mol)) and then stirred for 18 hours. Then, an aqueous potassium hydroxide solution (30% by mass, 5 mL) was added thereto, and the mixture was distilled under reduced pressure, whereby a distilled solution was recovered with an aqueous sulfuric acid solution (0.5M, 10 mL). The amount of ammonia in the aqueous sulfuric acid solution was determined by the indophenol method (Analytical Chemstry,1967, vol.39, pp 971-974). As a result, 43.8 equivalents of ammonia relative to the catalyst (molybdenum complex) were produced.
In examples 2 to 6, the amount of ethylene glycol used in example 1 was set to be 0.5 to 5 equivalents relative to the reducing agent. As a result, it was found that the yield was hardly changed when the amount of ethylene glycol was 1 to 5 equivalents relative to the reducing agent. In experimental example 1, the amounts of ammonia produced at the reaction times of 1 minute and 15 minutes were examined, and as a result, the reaction was substantially completed at 15 minutes with 35% and 62% of the reducing agent as a reference, respectively. The TOF calculated from this result is up to about 1300/h.
In Experimental example 7, the amount of the solvent in Experimental example 1 was reduced to 1mL, but the reaction was performed without problems.
In examples 8 to 12, the solvent in example 1 was changed from THF to dioxane, acetonitrile, diethyl ether, toluene, hexane. When these solvents are used, ammonia can be obtained catalytically although the yield is slightly lower than THF. In experimental example 13, an experiment was performed in which ethylene glycol was used as both a proton source and a solvent, and as a result, ammonia was 8% based on the reducing agent, and 4.9 equivalents were formed with respect to molybdenum. Therefore, even in the case of using ethylene glycol as a solvent, the ammonia was confirmed to be produced catalytically.
In examples 14 to 19, the proton source in example 3 was changed from ethylene glycol to various alcohols (methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, t-butanol, trifluoroethanol, phenol). As a result, although the yield was slightly lower than that of ethylene glycol, it was confirmed that ammonia was produced catalytically.
In example 20, the reaction was performed without using the molybdenum complex (1 a) in example 1, and as a result, ammonia was not produced. In experimental example 21, decamethylcobaltocene was used as a reducing agent, and as a result, ammonia was not generated.
Experimental examples 22 to 29
In experimental examples 22 to 29, ammonia synthesis was attempted using various molybdenum coordination compounds shown in table 2 as catalysts instead of the catalyst of example 1. The chemical formulas of the respective catalysts are shown outside the columns of table 2. In Experimental example 29, 0.01mmol of the catalyst was used. The results are shown in table 2.
The molybdenum complex (1 b) was synthesized by reference to a known document (Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn.2017, vol.90, pp 1111-1118). The molybdenum complex compounds (1 c) and (2) were synthesized by reference to the known literature (Nat. Chem.2011, vol.3, pp 120-125). The molybdenum complex (3 a) was synthesized by referring to a known document (Nat. Commun.2017, vol.8, airticle No. 14874). The molybdenum complex (3 b) was synthesized with reference to a known document (J.Am.chem. Soc.2015, vol.137, pp 5666-5669). The molybdenum complex (5 a) was synthesized by reference to a known document (Inorg. Chem.1973, vol.12, pp 2544-2547). The molybdenum complex (5 b) was synthesized by reference to a known document (J.Am.chem.Soc.1972, vol.94, pp 110-114). The molybdenum complex (4) was synthesized as follows. Pyridine (0.4 mmol, 38. Mu.L), water (0.4 mmol, 7. Mu.L) and a THF solution (16 mL) of molybdenum complex (1 a) (0.2 mmol,174.4 mg) were added under a nitrogen atmosphere at 1 atm, and the mixture was stirred at 50℃for 14 hours. Then, the reaction solution was concentrated under vacuum, dried and solidified, and the solid was washed with benzene (5 ml,3 times). Then, the residue was extracted with THF (5 ml,2 times) and concentrated under vacuum to dryness for solidification. The solid was dissolved in methylene chloride (4 mL), and after filtration through celite, hexane (20 mL) was added and recrystallization was performed for 4 days, whereby 46.1mg (0.059 mmol,30% yield) of 4 (molybdenum complex (4)) was obtained as pale yellow crystals.
TABLE 2
a Reductant datum b 0.01mmol of catalyst was used
In experimental examples 22 to 23, molybdenum complex compounds (1 b) to (1 c) having PNP ligands were used as catalysts. It is found that ammonia is produced catalytically regardless of whether X of the molybdenum complex compounds (1 b) to (1 c) is any one of an iodine atom, a bromine atom and a chlorine atom.
In experimental examples 24 to 27, as the catalyst, a dinuclear molybdenum complex (2) having a PNP ligand, a molybdenum complex (3 a) having a PCP ligand, a molybdenum complex (3 b) having a PPP ligand, and a Mo (IV) oxo complex (4) having a PNP ligand were used. It is found that ammonia is produced catalytically regardless of the use of any one of the molybdenum complex compounds (2), (3 a), (3 b) and (4). Among them, particularly the molybdenum complex (3 a) can obtain good results.
In experimental examples 28 to 29, mononuclear molybdenum coordination compounds (5 a) to (5 b) were used as catalysts. It is known that ammonia is produced catalytically regardless of the use of either of the trans-type mononuclear molybdenum coordination compounds (5 a) and (5 b).
Experimental example 30
Experimental example 30 is an example using water as a proton source (see the following formula). Relative to molybdenum coordination compound (1 a) (0.002 mmol) and SmI 2 (thf) 2 (solid crystals, 0.36mmol,180 equivalents to molybdenum) in THF (4 mL), and water (0.36 mmol,180 equivalents to molybdenum) in THF (2 mL) was added dropwise over 0.5 hour under nitrogen at 1 atm and stirred at room temperature using a syringe pump. After stirring at room temperature for 17.5 hours further after completion of the dropwise addition, quantification of ammonia and hydrogen was performed. As a result, ammonia 43% (26.8 equivalents to molybdenum) and hydrogen 39% (36.0 equivalents to molybdenum) were produced. Therefore, it is known that ammonia is produced catalytically even when water is used as a proton source.
Experimental examples 31-38
In examples 31 to 38, molybdenum complex was used as a catalyst in the presence of a reducing agent (Smi 2 ) And a proton source, ammonia was produced from the nitrogen molecules in THF at room temperature (table 3). In experimental example 31, a reaction was performed using molybdenum complex (1 a) having a PNP ligand as a catalyst and diethylene glycol as a proton source. In experimental examples 32 to 37, the reaction was performed using molybdenum complex (3 a) having PCP ligand as a catalyst and diethylene glycol as a proton source. In experimental example 38, a reaction was performed using a molybdenum complex (3 a) having a PCP ligand as a catalyst and water as a proton source. The results are shown in table 3.
TABLE 3
* Based on SmI 2 (thf) 2 Yield of (2).Average of multiple experiments (at least 2).
THF (2 mL) was used as solvent. Use H 2 O is used as a proton source.
From the results of examples 31 and 32, it was found that the molybdenum complex (3 a) having a PCP ligand had higher catalytic activity than the molybdenum complex (1 a) having a PNP ligand. From the results of experimental examples 32 to 37, it was found that ammonia was obtained at a high ratio when molybdenum complex (3 a) was used as a catalyst and diethylene glycol was used as a proton source. From the results of examples 33 and 38, it was found that when the molybdenum complex (3 a) having a PNP ligand was used as a catalyst, ammonia was obtained at a higher rate when water was used as a proton source than when diethylene glycol was used. In addition, among the experimental examples shown in the present specification, experimental example 38 gave the best results.
Experimental examples 39-41
In experimental examples 39 to 41, molybdenum complex was used as a catalyst in the presence of a reducing agent (Smi 2 ) And proton source (H) 2 O) in THF, ammonia was produced from the nitrogen molecules at room temperature (table 4). In example 39, the above molybdenum complex (3 a) was used as a catalyst, in example 40, a molybdenum complex (3 c) having fluorine atoms at the 5-and 6-positions of the benzimidazole carbene ring was used as a catalyst, and in example 41, a molybdenum complex (3 d) having a trifluoromethyl group at the 5-position of the benzimidazole carbene ring was used as a catalyst, and the reaction was performed.
As a representative example, experimental example 41 will be described. For molybdenum coordination compound (3 d) (0.025. Mu. Mol) and SmI 2 (thf) 2 (solid crystals, 1.44mmol, 57600 eq. To molybdenum) in THF (2 mL) was added water (1.44 mmol, 57600 eq. To molybdenum) in THF (1 mL) at room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere at 1 atm and stirred at room temperature for 22 hours. Then, the gas phase was analyzed by Gas Chromatography (GC) to quantify hydrogen, and as a result, 4700 equivalents of hydrogen relative to the catalyst (molybdenum complex) were produced. Aqueous potassium hydroxide (30% by mass, 5 mL) was added thereto, and the mixture was distilled under reduced pressure, whereby a distilled solution was recovered with aqueous sulfuric acid (0.5M, 10 mL). The amount of ammonia in the aqueous sulfuric acid solution was determined by the indophenol method (Analytical Chemstry,1967, vol.39, pp 971-974). As a result, 16000 equivalents of ammonia relative to the catalyst (molybdenum complex) were produced. A reaction was performed in the same manner as in example 41 except that molybdenum complex compounds (3 a) and (3 c) were used instead of molybdenum complex compound (3 d) in examples 39 and 40. The results are shown in table 4. As is clear from table 4, the catalytic activity of the molybdenum complex (3 c) and (3 d) was higher than that of the molybdenum complex (3 a), and the catalytic activity of the molybdenum complex (3 d) was higher than that of the molybdenum complex (3 c).
