The present invention relates to a bidentate
phosphorus ligand catalyst composition and a preparation method and application thereof, the catalyst composition comprises a bidentate
phosphorus ligand, a
nickel catalyst and at least one Lewis acid accelerator, the bidentate
phosphorus ligand has a 3, 3-bis (methoxy)-5, 5-dimethyl-2, 2-
bisphenol structural skeleton, and the
nickel catalyst has at least one Lewis acid accelerator, and the at least one Lewis acid accelerator has a 3, 3-bis (methoxy)-5, 5-dimethyl-2, 2-
bisphenol structural skeleton and a 3, 3-bis (methoxy)-5, 5-dimethyl-2, 2-
bisphenol structural skeleton.
Hydrogen of hydroxyl is respectively substituted by monophosphine and mononite to form a chelating structure. The catalyst composition can be prepared by mixing a bivalent
nickel compound and a ligand in an
inert atmosphere to form a complex, then adding a
reducing agent for reduction to obtain a zero-valent
nickel catalyst. The catalyst composition can be used for catalyzing the
hydrocyanation reaction of olefin, and is especially suitable for the reaction of 3-pentenenitrile and hydrocyanic acid to prepare an
adiponitrile product with high added value. The catalyst
system provided by the invention has high reaction activity and selectivity and good catalyst stability, is suitable for an industrial
continuous reaction process, and significantly improves the production efficiency of
adiponitrile and reduces the use cost of the catalyst.
