Upgrading lignin-derived monomeric products is crucial in bio-refineries to effectively utilize lignin. Herein, we report a simple strategy to convert catechol to phenazine, a useful N-heterocycle three-aromatic-ring compound, whose current synthetic procedure is complex via a petroleum-derived feedstock. The reaction uses catechol as the sole carbon source and aqueous ammonia as reaction media and a nitrogen source. Without additional solvents, phenazine was obtained in 67% yield in the form of high purity crystals (>97%) over a Pd/C catalyst after a one-pot-two-stage reaction. When cyclohexane was used as a co-solvent in the first step, a higher yield (81%) and purity (>99%) were achieved. Mechanistic investigations involving control experiments and an isotope labeling study reveal that hydrogenation, amination, coupling and dehydrogenation reactions are the key steps leading to phenazine formation. The conversion of other lignin-derived catechols highlights that the protocol is extendable to produce substituted phenazines.

This paper describes the scope and limitation of substrates subjected to asymmetric amination with epoxides catalyzed by a soluble soybean polysaccharide (Soyafibe S-DN), which we recently discovered from the reaction of 1,2-epoxycyclohexane with cyclopropylamine. Various meso-epoxides reacted with various amines afforded the corresponding products with good enantiomeric selectivity. Since it was found that pectin was found to have a catalytic ability after screening commercially available polysaccharides, we studied 33 different vegetable powders having pectic substances, and we found that many vegetable powders showed catalytic ability. These results should guide in using vegetable components as low-toxic catalysts for the production of pharmaceuticals.

Paragraph 0013; 0014; 0015, (2017/08/29)
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing trans-cyclohexyldiamine. The method comprises the following steps: by using epoxy cyclohexane as the raw material, carrying out ring opening with ammonia water, adding sulfuric acid for dewatering and salification, adding free alkali, carrying out ring opening with ammonia water, and distilling to obtain the trans-cyclohexyldiamine. The method has the advantages of high repetitiveness of the synthesis route, and simple and accessible raw materials, and provides an alternative scheme for obtaining the trans-cyclohexyldiamine pure product.
