Abstract

This study emphasizes on using different types of reactants to obtain compounds belonging to the same class, alkylpyrazines. The mechanism of these reactions is one of cyclo-dehydrogenation on the surface of a mixed oxide catalyst, e.g. ZnAl. Different types of reactions have been performed, using diamines, hydroxyamines or a diamine and a diol. The raw materials used and the various reaction parameters like temperature, space velocity and molar ratio of the reactants present a significant influence in the conversion and selectivity values. The conversion of reactants was quasi-total while the selectivity of the yielded products varies from 95.9% to a complex mixture of products. The ZnAl catalyst is thermally stable with the catalytic sites easily regenerated.
