Abstract
The contact conversion of 1,2-diaminoethane over a tungsten trioxide catalyst at 240–580°C has been studied by an impulse chromatographic method. The basic reaction path under these conditions is unimolecular deaminocyclization to give aziridine (31–35%). Piperazine and triethylenediamine, products of bi- and trimolecular deaminocyclization, are present as products. The deamination process is accompanied by coupled dehydrogenation and hydrogenolysis reactions. Addition of the acid anhydrides SiO2, P2O5 and B2O3 to the catalyst increases its activity but has only a negligible affect on the activation energy of the process.
