Cobalt-doped hybrid materials consisting of metal oxides and carbon derived from chitin were prepared, characterized and tested for industrially relevant nitrile hydrogenations. The optimal catalyst supported onto MgO showed, after pyrolysis at 700 °C, magnesium oxide nanocubes decorated with carbon-enveloped Co nanoparticles. This special structure allows for the selective hydrogenation of diverse and demanding nitriles to the corresponding primary amines under mild conditions (e.g. 70 °C, 20 bar H2). The advantage of this novel catalytic material is showcased for industrially important substrates, including adipodinitrile, picolinonitrile, and fatty acid nitriles. Notably, the developed system outperformed all other tested commercial catalysts, for example, Raney Nickel and even noble-metal-based systems in these transformations.

The given report introduces a simple and user-friendly in situ method for the production of catalytically active cobalt particles. The approach circumvents the use of air-and moisture-sensitive reductants as well as the application of anhydrous Co-precursor salts. Accordingly, the described catalytic system is readily assembled under open-flask conditions by simply combining the components in the reaction vessel. Therefore, the arduous charging procedure of the reaction autoclave in a glovebox under an inert gas atmosphere is no longer necessary. In fact, the catalytically active material is obtained upon treatment of readily available Co(OAc)2·4 H2O with benign commercial Zn powder. The catalytic performance of the resultant material was tested in the heterogeneous hydrogenation of nitriles to the corresponding primary amines. Both activity and selectivity of the cobalt catalyst are significantly enhanced if a triflate-based Lewis acid and ammonia is added to the reaction mixture.
Selective Hydrogenation of Nitriles to Primary Amines by using a Cobalt Phosphine Catalyst

A general procedure for the catalytic hydrogenation of nitriles to primary amines by using a non-noble metal-based system is presented. Co(acac)3 in combination with tris[2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethyl]phosphine efficiently catalyzes the selective hydrogenation of a wide range of (hetero)aromatic and aliphatic nitriles to give the corresponding amines.
