METHOD OF PRODUCING CYCLOHEXANE AND DERIVATIVES THEREOF Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C07C5/03 C07C13/18 C07D295/33 B01J23/755 B82B1/00 B01J21/02 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to an improved method of producing cyclohexane and derivatives thereof of general formula R=H, . The method involves producing saturated hydrocarbons and derivatives thereof, which can be used as semi-products in organic synthesis. The method involves hydrogenation of cyclohexene or a derivative thereof, which is selected from 1-(N-piperidino)cyclohexene-1,1-(N-morpholino)cyclohexene-1 or 1,4-dicyclohex-1-enylpiperazine with hydrogen gas at atmospheric pressure of hydrogen in the presence of a nanocatalyst in tetrahydrofuran medium at temperature of 50-70°C for 5-6 hours, followed by extraction of the end product. The nanocatalyst used is nickel nanoparticles which are obtained by reducing nickel (II) chloride with lithium aluminium hydride in situ. The method can also be used to obtain a wider range of cyclohexane derivatives which contain heterocyclic groups.

EFFECT: method enables to conduct the process at atmospheric pressure using a catalyst obtained using a simpler technique, which simplifies the method overall.
