      Sonochem hydrogenation of metal catalyst
(Rated as: excellent)
    

Here's a paper worth reading. look at the results for Pd/C and think about making an instant Nickel catalyst out of nothing but precipitated Nickel and ultrasound.


Ultrasonics Sonochemistry 1994 Vol 1 No 1 S45 - S46

Sonochemical hydrogenation over metal catalysts

P.W. Cains, L.J. McCausland, D.M. Bates* and T.J. Mason* AEA Technology, Harwell Laboratory, Didcot, Oxon OX11 ORA, UK

* Coventry University, Priory Street, Coventry CV1 5FB, UK

Abstract: Ultrasound has been used to activate 3 µm Ni powder as a hydrogenation catalyst to give 65% conversion of oct-1-ene to octane. The effect on submicrometre Ni powders was less marked, and the activity of Raney Ni was reduced. Insonation of a Pd/C catalyst increased both the adsorptive uptake of hydrogen and hydrogenation rates.

Keywords: hydrogenation; nickel catalyst; morphology


The irradiation of various catalytic powders with power ultrasound causes remarkable changes in their character vis-a-vis aggregation, particle morphology and thickness of the surface oxide coating. Sometimes, but by no means always, this is reflected in their catalytic activity. Boudjouk et al.1 report the application of ultrasound to the hydrosilylation of styrene over a Pt/C catalyst yielding 95% over 2h at room temperature and pressure, compared to the 'silent' reaction requiring temperatures above 100 °C and pressures over 5 bar. Selective hydro- genations of alkenes over Pt/C at room temperatures and pressures using donor compounds such as formic acid and hydrazine have also been reported2,3. Simple nickel powder is an extremely inactive catalyst for the hydro- genation of alkenes, however, high intensity ultrasound has been used to activate nickel powder for use as a hydrogenation catalyst4. Surface studies of the metal after sonication reveal dramatic changes in morphology in that the surfaces are smoothed and, as the individual particle size is reduced the particles begin to come together and form extended aggregates4. We have addressed ourselves to the question of the effect of ultrasound on the catalytic activity of different types of nickel catalyst (3 µm, submicrometre, Raney) and 10% palladium on carbon. The model system chosen was the hydrogenation of oct-1-ene to octane [Equation (1)] employing methodology similar to that of Suslick5 using a Sonic Systems6 20 kHz probe system.

C6H13-CH=CH2 __> C6H13-CH2-CH3 {Conditions: H2 / Cat} . . . (1)

The reduction of 1-octene to octane over ultrasonically treated Ni powders

Hydrogenation with 3 µm nickel powder

We have investigated the hydrogenation of 1-octene with gaseous hydrogen in the presence of 3 µm Ni powder (Aldrich) over a range of insonation, mixing and temperature conditions. Experiments have been carried out using a 3.5 mm insonation probe with 0.085 mol 1-octene, 5 g Ni powder in 250 ml ethanol solvent with a hydrogen sparge of 0.4 mol h-1. The insonation of the catalyst suspension under a nitrogen atmosphere was carried out before it was used for hydrogenation under mechanical stirring at ca 100 rpm. Optimum catalytic activity was obtained with 3 µm Ni pre-sonicated for 1 h at 10 °C using 34 W total power. Under these conditions 65% octane was obtained after 60 min hydrogenation at 25 °C compared with no octane using untreated catalyst (Table 1).

The increase in activity induced by ultrasound can be explained by a combination of factors such as the removal of impurities from the surface of the nickel, a reduction in the thickness of the oxide coating, activation of the surface and reduction in the particle size of the material thereby increasing the surface area of the catalyst available for reaction.

No hydrogenation occurred (a) when the insonation power was reduced to below the cavitation threshold or was omitted entirely, (b) when no stirring was provided during hydrogenation, (c) when insonation and hydro- genation were carried out simultaneously, or (d) at hydrogenation temperatures above 60 °C. Substitution of a magnetic stirrer for a mechanical stirrer during hydrogenation caused magnetization of the pre-sonicated catalyst particles and a reduction in yield from 65 to 40%. We have also confirmed an observation by Suslick5 that there is an optimum in catalytic activity at an insonation time of 1 h, under our conditions the activity reduced to almost zero after 2 h sonication.

Table 1. Hydrogenation of oct-1-ene*

Catalyst used Yield (%), silent Yield (%), pre-sonicated
3 µm nickel powder 0 (60 min) 65 (60 min)
Submicrometre nickel 0 (60 min) 15 (60 min)
Raney nickel 100 (30 min) 25 (30 min)
10% Pd on C 66 (30 min) 100 (30 min)


* 20 kHz, 34 W, 25 °C, absolute ethanol

Hydrogenation with submicrometre nickel powder

As with 3 µm nickel the untreated powder proved to be an ineffective catalyst and sonication was carried out using the optimum conditions developed above. In this case however the effect of sonication was significantly smaller with only 15% octane produced in the same time using the activated material (Table 1). This is somewhat contrary to what might be expected, but optical micrographs indicate that the submicrometre catalyst forms large agglomerates on insonation which may have less activity.

Hydrogenation with Raney nickel

In complete contrast to the results above insonation of Raney nickel produced a reduction in catalytic efficiency (Table 1). The as-supplied material (Type 2, Aldrich) gave 100% conversion after 30 min under conventional conditions compared to only 25% conversion after 30 min after insonation. A gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) study of the reaction products during hydrogenation suggested that the insonated catalyst promoted iso- merization at the expense of hydrogenation. Thus after 30 min hydrogenation using untreated Raney nickel there was 100% octane, 0% oct-2-ene whereas in contrast, the use of pre-insonated Raney nickel gave 37% octane, 20% oct-2-ene and 6% unreacted oct-1-ene after 1 h. Due to its method of preparation Raney nickel has a high surface area and considerable porosity. It seems reasonable to conclude that Raney nickel which has been irradiated with ultrasound may agglomerate and consolidate, therefore reducing its catalytic activity. Raney Nickel is also free of the passivating layers found on the other nickel powders studied and so it would not be expected that sonication would affect its activity in the same way as the other two nickel powders.

Hydrogenation with 10% Pd on carbon

Pre-sonication of this catalyst achieved a considerable enhancement in activity resulting in 100% conversion after only 30 min for the sonicated system (Table 1). For the as-supplied 10% Pd/C only 66% conversion was achieved after 30 min. This enhancement in activity appeared to correlate with an adsorptive uptake of hydrogen on the catalyst of 10 ml (STP)g-1 (0.45 mmol g-1) without insonation to 40 ml g-1 (1.78 mmol g-1) at an intensity of 160 W cm-2.

Conclusion

Sonicated 3 µm nickel powder was found to be a more efficient catalyst than similarly treated submicrometre nickel powder although both materials were inactive without ultrasonic activation. Raney Nickel decreased in catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of oct-1-ene after ultrasonic pre-treatment. Pre-irradiated palladium-on- carbon was found to be the most effective catalyst for the conversion of oct-1-ene to octane.

There appears to be an obvious advantage in using a pre-sonicated palladium catalyst in terms of the rate of oct-1-ene hydrogenation. However, in terms of cost efficiency, using this catalyst in a hydrogenation reaction is very expensive compared to 3 µm nickel.

Catalytic Transfer Hydogenation Reactions for Undergraduate Practical Programs
R. W. Hanson
J. Chem. Educ.  74, 430 (1997) (https://www.rhodium.ws/pdf/cth.reactions-j.chem.ed.pdf)

Abstract
A brief review of catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) reactions is given. Attention is drawn, particularly, to the utility of ammonium formate as the hydrogen donor in this type of reaction. The reduction of aryl carbonyl compounds to the corresponding methylene derivatives by ammonium formate in the presence of 10% Pd/C at 110°C is compared to their reductive ammonation which occurs at higher temperatures in the absence of the catalyst (the Leuckart reaction). It is suggested that the low cost and simplicity of CTH reactions using ammonium formate as the hydrogen donor, together with the high yields obtained in many cases, make them excellent candidates for inclusion in undergraduate practical programmes. Laboratory instructions are given for the reduction of nitrobenzene to aniline (isolated as benzanilide), benzophenone to diphenylmethanol and fluorenone to fluorene, in all cases using ammonium formate as the hydrogen donor and 10% Pd/C as the catalyst. Thin layer chromatography shows that in each case the product is homogeneous; the yields are essentially quantitative.

      CTH Reduction of Ketones to Hydrocarbons

A Simple Reduction of Aralkyl Ketones to Alcohols
A. S. Radhakrishna, K. R. K. Prasad Rao, S. C. Nigam, R. Bakthavatchalam and B. B. Singh
Org. Prep. Proced. Int. 21(3), 373-375 (1989)

Catalytic transfer hydrogenation has been widely studied in the past three decades.1 Palladium-catalysed ammonium formate reduction of aromatic halides,2 nitriles,3 nitro compounds2,4 and α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds5 has been reported. Aromatic ketones are reduced to the corresponding aromatic hydrocarbons using Pd/C-formic acid in refluxing ethanol;6 aromatic aldehydes and ketones are also reduced to the hydrocarbons using palladium-carbon/cyclohexene or limonene.7 The hitherto undescribed reduction of aralkyl ketones to alcohols using palladium-carbon-ammonium formate is now reported to proceed in high yields at room temperature. The completion of reductions was followed by TLC. Aromatic aldehydes failed to give the alcohols under the same conditions.

Experimental Section
General Procedure

To a stirred suspension of an appropriate ketone (20 mmol) and 10% Pd/C (1.5-1.6 g) in dry methanol (25 ml), anhydrous ammonium formate was added (50 mmol) in a single portion. The resulting reaction mixture (slight exotherm and effervescence) was stirred at room temperature for 4 hrs. under N2. The catalyst was then removed by filtration through Celite and washed with methanol (20 ml). The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was diluted with water (50 ml) and the product extracted with chloroform and the solution was dried over Na2SO4. Distillation of the solvent gave the pure alcohol.
