Melamine Aminated Primary Alcohols Using Potassium Hydroxide/Activated Carbon Catalysts

摘要

Melamine (MA) were aminated with various primary alcohols (PA) such as lauryl alcohol(LA), octyl alcohol (OA) and monomethoxylpoly ethylene glycol (mPEG) under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions using potassium hydroxide/activated carbon (KOH/AC) as catalyst. The possible amination reaction mechanism was proposed based on FTIR, 1H NMR and fluorescence analysis of aminated products. The catalytic activity of KOH was improved remarkably by adding activated carbon as the catalyst support; and the maximum amination yield was about 95%.
