Latest Patents

Iablokov is named on 1 patent: “Aliphatic Amine and Nitrile Synthesis Through Catalytic CO Hydrogenation in the Presence of Ammonia.” The invention describes a process that combines Fischer–Tropsch synthesis, which produces chain-lengthened hydrocarbons from carbon monoxide and hydrogen, with terminal nitrogen functionalization using ammonia.

The method includes activating a catalyst with a hydrogen-and-carbon-monoxide feed gas and operating at temperatures between 180°C and 300°C and pressures between 1 and 25 bar. By setting or adjusting the hydrogen-to-carbon-monoxide ratio, the process can selectively produce aliphatic amines and nitriles over other nitrogen-containing compounds.
