The invention discloses a method for realizing
metal-free
catalytic hydrogenation by using a
black phosphorus-based catalyst, which comprises the following specific steps: adding an unsaturated compound and a
black phosphorus-based catalyst into a high-pressure reaction kettle, adding a
solvent, strictly sealing the high-pressure reaction kettle, introducing
hydrogen, emptying air in the high-pressure reaction kettle, introducing
hydrogen, heating, and reacting while stirring, cooling to
room temperature, releasing pressure, filtering to separate out
solid and liquid, washing the
solid with water and absolute ethyl
alcohol in sequence, and
drying to obtain the
black phosphorus-based catalyst for reuse, the liquid containing a target product. According to the method, the black
phosphorus-based catalyst is used as a
metal-free catalyst to be applied to the field of
catalytic hydrogenation for the first time,
catalytic hydrogenation of various unsaturated compounds is successfully achieved, high catalytic activity is achieved, and the inherent defects that a
metal-based catalyst is high in cost, prone to poisoning and inactivation and the like can be fundamentally overcome; in addition, the catalyst used in the invention has the advantages of low preparation cost and mild conditions, and is suitable for large-scale industrial production.
