Abstract
Background Zeolites are crystallized aluminum silicates. Their structure consists of an arrangement of TO4 tetrahedral (T = Si, Al ...), creating a regular nonporous system made up of channels with a diameter of less than 1 nm and cages (the channel intersections). These materials were discovered by the mineralogist in 1756. These porous materials are used in the paper industry, in jewelry, and in other fields. Certain applications require pure materials with specific properties, hence the need to develop their synthesis. Zeolites are obtained hydrothermally at temperatures below 200°C. The dimensions of the pores are of the order of a nanometer, close to the dimensions of certain organic molecules which make these zeolitic materials find applications in various fields, separation by molecular sieving, purification by adsorption, cation exchange and catalysis. Result We are successful in the reaction of addition the series of amines to unsaturated alkenes, catalyzed by zeolite H-ZSM-5, the results show good products obtained with excellent yields, in short time, pure products can be obtained after filtering the catalyst and then removing the excess amines, the catalyst is recoverable, reactivated and reused several times for other addition reactions, the products were defined by 1 H NMR spectroscopy. Conclusion According to the results obtained. It can be said that the addition of various aliphatic or aromatic amines reacted successfully with alkenes, in the presence of the catalyst H-ZSM-5, to give the corresponding adducts with excellent yields in time and in perfect conditions, solvent-free and room temperature, so our H-ZSM-5 catalyst is effective, can meet our goal of adding amines to unsaturated carbonyl components.
