Nanoheterogeneous Catalytic Cotransformation of Polyatomic Alcohols and Carbamides

Аннотация

The interaction of ethylene glycol and glycerol with carbamide in the presence of nanosized cobalt oxide obtained by the decomposition of cobalt(II) acetylacetonate in diphenyl ether is studied. The average size of the nanosized catalyst particles is 8–10 nm. The effect of nanoheterogeneous catalysis on the cyclocondensation of polyatomic alcohols with carbamide is investigated. A high capacity of the nanosized catalyst in this process is found 150 g(cyclic carbonate)/(g(catalyst) h), which is more than 100 times higher than the capacity of conventional catalysts.
