The purpose of the invention is to provide a novel organometallic compound that can be utilized as a catalyst having high generality, high activity, and excellent functional group selectivity. The invention pertains to a novel organometallic compound represented by general formula (1) that catalyzes a reductive amination reaction.

To provide a catalyst having hydrotreatment (hydrogenation, desulfurization and denitrification) performance that is equal to or superior to the prior art, as a hydrotreating catalyst for hydrocarbon oils, and a hydrotreating process for hydrocarbon oils using the catalyst. The catalyst comprises 10 to 40 mass % of at least one element of Group 6 of the Periodic Table, 0.5 to 15 mass % of at least one element of Groups 8 to 10 of the Periodic Table based on the oxide catalysts, and a 0.05- to 3-fold amount of an organic additive with respect to the total number of moles of the elements of Group 6 and Groups 8 to 10 of the Periodic Table, added to an inorganic porous support composed mainly of silica-alumina that comprises an oxide of a metal of Group 2 of the Periodic Table.

Disclosed are processes for the preparation of the pesticide N-(1-methylcyclopropyl)-2-(3-pyridinyl)-2H-indazole 4-carboxamide. Also disclosed are methods for the preparation of intermediates of thereof N-(1-methylcyclopropyl)-2-(3-pyridinyl)-2H-indazole 4-carboxamide.

A method for preparing formamide compounds via hydrogenation of carbon dioxide catalyzed by porous materials includes the following steps: by taking porous organometallic polymers as catalysts, reacting amine compounds with carbon dioxide and hydrogen under an air atmosphere to prepare formamide compounds. The method has the advantages of high reaction efficiency, good selectivity, mild conditions, economy, environmental protection, and simple operation. The catalysts are solid organometallic polymers with large specific surface area, strong carbon dioxide adsorption, hierarchical pore distribution, and uniformly dispersed metal centers. They are designed and synthesized as the reaction catalysts by changing the proportion of the cross-linked comonomer. The catalysts can be especially used for catalytic synthesis of fine chemical N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) without addition of any additional solvent, alkali, or other additives, which is convenient for separation and purification of DMF.

The present invention relates to air stable, binary Ni(0)-olefin complexes and their use in organic synthesis.
