Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of catalyst technology, specifically to a method for preparing a copper-supported cerium oxide catalyst and its application. Background Technology

[0002] In the chemical industry, hydrazine compounds play a crucial role as intermediates in organic synthesis. For example, they can be used as raw materials to synthesize important organic compounds such as aminourea and bacitracin, and are also used as liquid rocket fuel, photographic developing agents, antioxidants, and reducing agents. However, when hydrazine compounds are present in wastewater, they pollute the environment and harm human health, causing significant side effects on the liver, kidneys, and blood systems. Furthermore, hydrazine, as a known toxic substance, also possesses potential carcinogenicity. Therefore, the removal of hydrazine groups from hydrazine-containing wastewater has become a hot research topic. In addition, the removal of hydrazine groups from hydrazine compounds is also an important method for synthesizing other heterocyclic compounds.

[0003] Chattopadhyaya and Reese reported a method for obtaining arachidonic acid by using excess mercuric oxide as a catalyst in the removal of the hydrazine group at the 8-position after hydrazinolysis of 8,2-epoxyadenosine. In 2006, Cesnek et al. reported a method for removing the hydrazine group at the 6-position of 2-chloro-6-hydrazide-9-isopropyl derivatives using excess silver oxide as a catalyst to generate 2-chloro-9-isopropylpurine derivatives. However, this method uses excessive heavy metals, which violates the principles of green chemistry, and the target product still contains residual heavy metals, and these problems cannot be solved. Espinosa et al. found a method to remove the hydrazine group using a strong base such as DBU. Although it does not use heavy metals as a catalyst, the reaction yield is low, and it is not a good method either. Liu Zhongquan et al. reacted sodium nitroprusside with phenylhydrazine derivatives to remove the hydrazine group. Although it did not use heavy metals and strong bases, it generated many byproducts. In 2014, Jiang et al. used excess transition metal CoPc to catalyze the selective radical arylation of aniline with arylhydrazine to synthesize 2-aminobenzyl, but the yield was low. In the same year, Xia et al. reported a method for dehydrazine removal in water using CuSO4 as a catalyst. However, CuSO4 as a catalyst cannot be recycled and will be discharged into wastewater after the reaction is completed, causing harm to the environment. Summary of the Invention

[0037] Comparative Example 1

[0038] Treatment of cerium oxide with hydrazine hydrate: Weigh 0.1g of cerium oxide prepared in step S1 of Example 1 above, add 25mg PVP, 4.5mL LDMF, and 10.5mL deionized water and stir for 30min.

[0039] Comparative Example 2

[0040] Commercially available 99.99% pure copper oxide was ultrasonicated at 60°C with 0.3 mL of reducing agent hydrazine hydrate added dropwise. The mixture was ultrasonicated for 30 min at a frequency of 100 kHz. After ultrasonication, the mixture was filtered and washed three times alternately with deionized water and ethanol, with a mass ratio of reactant:water:ethanol of 1:2:2 each time, to remove impurities from the composite material. Finally, the mixture was dried in a vacuum oven at 60°C and -100 Pa for 12 h to obtain a black hydrazine hydrate pretreated Cu catalyst.

[0041] Comparative Example 3

[0042] The CeO2 pretreated with hydrazine hydrate prepared in Comparative Example 1 and the Cu catalyst pretreated with hydrazine hydrate prepared in Comparative Example 2 were mixed in a mass ratio of 1:74.

[0043] Application examples Copper-supported cerium oxide catalysts were used to catalyze the dehydrazine reaction of aromatic hydrazides and their derivatives.

[0044] The reaction was carried out in DMF solution using 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine as a substrate, and the reaction was monitored by UV-Vis spectroscopy.

[0045] The dehydrazine reaction conditions were as follows: 15 mg of catalyst was dispersed in 15 mL of 1.25 mM 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine DMF solution at room temperature (25 °C) with a sampling interval of 1.0 h. 300.0 μL of the reaction solution was then diluted in 3.0 mL of DMF solution. After each sampling, the change in the hydrazine peak at 360 nm was recorded using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Finally, the conversion rate was calculated using Beer-Lambert's law.

[0046] 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DMF) solutions of 0.1–0.6 g / L were prepared, and the absorbance changes at different concentrations were monitored using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the changes in absorbance at 360 nm in the UV-Vis spectrum were recorded, and a standard curve of absorbance versus 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine concentration was plotted. Figure 3As shown, its standard curve equation is: y = 2.45036x + 0.00975, R0 2 =0.99938.

[0047] Figure 1 XRD patterns of Cu / CeO2 composites with different Cu loadings are shown. The composition and structure of the composites were determined by XRD. Figure 1 The diffraction peaks of CeO2 sample B treated with hydrazine hydrate and CeO2 sample A prepared by hydrothermal method are the same as those in the CeO2 standard card (PDF#34–0394), indicating that the hydrazine hydrate treatment did not change the crystal structure of CeO2. Simultaneously, the crystal structure of Cu was also determined by comparison with the PDF standard card (PDF#04-0836), confirming that the loaded copper is zero-valent copper. The relatively sharp peaks at 2θ=43.19°, 50.29°, 73.88°, and 89.61° in the XRD pattern of 5% Cu / CeO2 correspond to the (111), (200), (220), and (311) crystal planes of Cu, respectively, thus proving the successful introduction of Cu. No Cu diffraction peaks were observed in the XRD pattern of 1% Cu / CeO2 due to the low Cu content.

[0048] Application Example 1

[0049] The catalytic verification was performed using copper-supported cerium oxide catalysts to catalyze the dehydrazine reaction of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. The catalysts used were those from Examples 1-6 (excluding Example 4).

[0050] from Figure 4 It can be seen that adding catalysts with different copper loadings to catalyze the dehydrazine reaction of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, such as Figure 4 As shown, the conversion rate increases with increasing Cu loading. The conversion rate is highest when the Cu loading is 1%, but it gradually decreases beyond 1%, indicating that excessive metal loading is not conducive to the reaction. This may be because Cu nanoparticles may agglomerate when the metal loading is too high. Therefore, a copper loading of 1% is the optimal loading for the Cu / CeO2 composite material.

[0051] Application Example 2

[0052] The catalytic verification was performed using copper-supported cerium oxide catalyst under the conditions for catalyzing the dehydrazinolation reaction of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, examining the effect of the amount of catalyst prepared in Example 1 on the reaction. Figure 5 As shown in Table 1, the reaction cannot proceed without a catalyst (labeled 1), but the conversion rate gradually increases after adding a catalyst. The highest conversion rate, reaching 92.21%, is achieved when the catalyst dosage reaches 25 mg (labeled 5). Therefore, considering cost factors, 15 mg is selected as the optimal catalyst dosage.

[0053] Table 1 Effect of catalyst dosage on the reaction

[0054] Application Example 3 The catalytic verification was carried out using copper-supported cerium oxide catalyst for the dehydrazine reaction of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, and the effect of different catalysts on the catalytic reaction was investigated. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0055] To investigate the synergistic catalytic effect between Cu and CeO2, the pretreatment of Cu with hydrazine hydrate was examined. 0 CeO2 synthesized by hydrothermal method, CeO2 pretreated with hydrazine hydrate, and Cu pretreated with hydrazine hydrate 0+ The effect of mixing CeO2 pretreated with hydrazine hydrate on the dehydrazine reaction was investigated. Table 2 shows that the catalytic conversion rate of CeO2 synthesized by the hydrothermal method was only 12.7% at a reaction time of 6 h, while the catalytic conversion rate of CeO2 modified with hydrazine hydrate increased to 67.8%, indicating that hydrazine hydrate reduction treatment enhanced the catalytic performance of cerium oxide. The catalytic conversion rate of copper treated with only hydrazine hydrate reduction was 49.8%. However, when the copper-supported Cu / CeO2 catalyst catalyzed this reaction, the conversion rate of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine reached 92.27%, indicating a synergistic catalytic relationship between copper and cerium oxide. Additionally, in Comparative Example 2, Cu pretreated with hydrazine hydrate... 0+ Compared to Example 1, the catalytic performance of the copper-supported cerium oxide catalyst, which was simply mixed with hydrazine hydrate pretreated CeO2, was significantly lower. This indicates that the copper-supported cerium oxide catalyst synthesized in this application is not a simple mixture, but rather exhibits a synergistic effect between copper and cerium oxide after loading. In summary, Cu / CeO2 demonstrates excellent catalytic activity in the dehydrazide grouping reaction of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine.

[0056] Table 2 Effect of different catalysts on the reaction

[0057] Application Example 4 Using water as a solvent, copper-supported cerium oxide catalyst was used for the reaction of aromatic hydrazine and its derivatives, and the structure of the products was confirmed.

[0058] Because aromatic hydrazines and their derivatives have poor solubility in water at room temperature, the reaction must be carried out under heating conditions. The reaction was monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). After the reaction was completed, the catalyst was filtered, extracted with dichloromethane, the organic phases were combined, the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation, and the product was purified by column chromatography, and the yield was calculated. The structure of the product was determined using... 1 HNMR confirmed.

[0059] Expansion of reaction substrates The dehydrazine reaction conditions were verified by catalysis using water or DMF as solvents at 85°C and with a catalyst dosage of 10-30 mg to catalyze phenylhydrazine derivatives with different substituents, and the suitability of the catalyst was investigated. Table 3 shows that under optimal conditions, phenylhydrazines with different substituents yielded the corresponding dehydrazine products in excellent yields, all maintaining yields above 85%.
