RESUMO
The effect of noble metal catalysts supported on an ionic exchange resin for the enantioselective hydrogenation of ethyl pyruvate to ethyl lactate was studied. High activity and moderate enantioselectivity levels were obtained. Pt was the best enantioselective metallic phase, followed by Pd and Au; Rh was the less enantioselective metallic phase. The effect of the active site was evaluated for the most enantioselective catalyst: 2Pt-WA30 (prefix indicates the metal loading). A novel method for sintering the Pt metal particles by nitriles reduction was used, and a controlled migration of the metal particles to the surface layers was observed. There existed an optimal particle size with maximization of the enantiomeric excess, corresponding to 24 h sintering. The hydrogenation of ethyl pyruvate to ethyl lactate was found to be structure-sensitive and the importance of the metal particle size for the adsorption of the chiral modifier was proved. Two different chirality induction methods were tried for the 2Pt-WA30 catalyst: (i) the addition of the chiral modifier (CM) to the reaction media, or (ii) the modification of the catalyst in a swelling medium prior to the reaction in order to encapsulate CM. Lower activity but higher enantioselectivity levels were obtained with method (ii). Finally, the reuse of the catalysts was also assessed by means of consecutive reaction tests.
