Abstract
Heterogeneous catalysis producing imines as value-added chemicals has gained increasing
attention in the scientific field. Various catalysts have been developed to achieve robust chemical
process that are reliable to produce imines. Herein, we suggested that gold nanoparticles
encapsulated in amine-functionalized silica were able to catalyze imine production via the
hydroamination of alkynes with amine. The synthesized Au@SiO2 catalyst properties were
evaluated using various characterization techniques and tested for different alkyne reactants in
hydroamination reaction to evaluate the nanocatalyst performance. In addition, calcined Au@SiO2
performance was also investigated in this work.
In this study, the amine functional group grafted in silica shell structure of nanocatalyst was
hypothesized to affect gold core nanoparticle electronic properties. The result suggested that
calcined Au@SiO2 might have better performance in catalyzing hydroamination reaction at certain
reaction condition.
