The competitive adsorption of 8-methylquinoline (8-MQL) and partially hydrogenated product, 4H-8-MQL, was studied by performing a combination of experiments and first-principles calculations over a selected Ru catalyst. A series of hydrogenation reactions were conducted with 8-MQL and 4H-8-MQL as initial reactants, respectively. 8-MQL exhibits stronger adsorption on catalyst surface active sites compared with 4H-8-MQL and the massive adsorption of 8-MQL hampers the further adsorption of 4H-8-MQL. The effects of temperature, pressure and solvent on the selectivity in 8-MQL hydrogenation were investigated as well. Full hydrogenation of 8-MQL to 10H-8-MQL was achieved within 120 min when the catalyst dosage increased from 5 wt% to 7 wt% under 160 °C and a hydrogen pressure of 7 MPa. The electronic charge of the N-heteroatom in 8-MQL and 4H-8-MQL was analyzed and the adsorption geometries of 8-MQL and 4H-8-MQL on the Ru(001) surface were optimized by DFT calculations to explain the competitive adsorption behaviors of 8-MQL and 4H-8-MQL.

The chemoselective hydrogenation of heteroarenes is one of the most important synthetic reactions for the production of key intermediates in agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and various fine chemicals. The development of new heterogeneous catalysts for the environmentally benign synthesis of heterocycle hydrogenated products is a fundamental objective for chemists. Here, we report that 12CaO·7Al2O3 with a unique sub-nanocage structure loaded with Ru nanoparticles exhibits higher activity, chemoselectivity and sustainability for the hydrogenation of heteroarenes in a solvent-free system than traditional oxide-supported metal catalysts. Conversion of >99% and a selectivity close to 99% were achieved for the hydrogenation of quinoline under mild conditions. This catalyst was also successfully applied to the hydrogenation of a variety of N- and O-heteroarenes with high yields. The superior catalytic performance can be attributed to a cooperative effect between the hydrogen-storage ability and large amount of strong basic sites on the surface of the support, which promotes heterolytic H2 cleavage and prevents poisoning of the metal surface caused by the adsorption of heteroarenes.
