Catalytic transformation of methane over in-loaded ZSM-5 zeolite in the presence of ethene

Methane is shown to react with ethene over In-loaded ZSM-5 to higher hydrocarbons such as propene and toluene at around 673 K. Such methane conversion is not catalyzed by proton-exchanged ZSM-5 (H-ZSM-5) under the same conditions, only C2H4 being converted to higher hydrocarbons. By using 13C-labeled methane (13CH4) as a reactant, the reaction paths for the formation of propene, benzene and toluene were examined. 13C-labeled propene (13CC2H6) is formed by the reaction of 13CH4 with C2H4. The lack of 13C-labeled benzene revealed that propene is not transformed to benzene, which instead originates entirely from C2H4. The 13C atom is inserted both into the methyl group and benzene ring in the toluene formed. This indicates that toluene is formed by two reaction paths; the reaction of 13CC2H6 with butenes formed by the dimerization of C2H4 and the reaction of benzene with 13CH4. The existence of the latter path was proved by the direct reaction of 13CH4 with benzene. The reaction of methane with benzene was also carried out in a continuous flow system over In-loaded ZSM-5. The reaction afforded 7.6% and 0.9% yields of toluene and xylenes, respectively, at 623 K.     

Kinetics of two pathways in peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence

It has been shown that 1,1'-oxalyldiimidazole (ODI) is formed as an intermediate in the imidazole-catalyzed reaction of oxalate esters with hydrogen peroxide. Therefore, the kinetics of the chemiluminescence reaction of 1,1'-oxalyldiimidazole (ODI) with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a fluorophore was investigated in order to further elucidate the mechanism of the peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence reaction. The effects of concentrations of ODI, hydrogen peroxide, imidazole (ImH), the general-base catalysts lutidine and collidine, and temperature on the chemiluminescence profile and relative quantum efficiency in the solvent acetonitrile were determined using the stopped-flow technique. Pseudo-first-order rate constant measurements were made for concentrations of either H2O2 or ODI in large excess. All of the reaction kinetics are consistent with a mechanism in which the reaction is initiated by a base-catalyzed substitution of hydrogen peroxide for imidazole in ODI to form an imidazoyl peracid (Im(CO)2OOH). In the presence of a large excess of H2O2, this intermediate rapidly decays with both a zero- and first-order dependence on the H2O2 concentration. It is proposed that the zero-order process reflects a cyclization of this intermediate to form a species capable of exciting a fluorophore via the "chemically initiated electron exchange mechanism" (CIEEL), while the first-order process results from the substitution of an additional molecule of hydrogen peroxide to the imidazoyl peracid to form dihydroperoxyoxalate, reducing the observed quantum yield. Under conditions of a large excess of ODI, the reaction is more than 1 order of magnitude more efficient at producing light, and the quantum yield increases linearly with increasing ODI concentration. Again, it is proposed that the slow initiating step of the reaction involves the substitution of H2O2 for imidazole to form the imidazoyl peracid. This intermediate may decay by either cyclization or by reaction with another ODI molecule to form a cyclic peroxide that is much more efficient at energy transfer with the fluorophore. The reaction kinetics clearly distinguishes two separate pathways for the chemiluminescent reaction.     

S-oxygenation of thiocarbamides I: Oxidation of phenylthiourea by chlorite in acidic media

The oxidation of 1-phenyl-2-thiourea (PTU) by chlorite was studied in aqueous acidic media. The reaction is extremely complex with reaction dynamics strongly influenced by the pH of reaction medium. In excess chlorite concentrations the reaction stoichiometry involves the complete desulfurization of PTU to yield a urea residue and sulfate: 2ClO2- + PhN(H)CSNH2 + H2O --> SO4(2-) + PhN(H)CONH2 + 2Cl- + 2H+. In excess PTU, mixtures of sulfinic and sulfonic acids are formed. The reaction was followed spectrophotometrically by observing the formation of chlorine dioxide which is formed from the reaction of the reactive intermediate HOCl and chlorite: 2ClO2- + HOCl + H+ --> 2ClO2(aq) + Cl- + H2O. The complexity of the ClO2- - PTU reaction arises from the fact that the reaction of ClO2 with PTU is slow enough to allow the accumulation of ClO2 in the presence of PTU. Hence the formation of ClO2 was observed to be oligooscillatory with transient formation of ClO2 even in conditions of excess oxidant. The reaction showed complex acid dependence with acid catalysis in pH conditions higher than pKa of HClO2 and acid retardation in pH conditions of less than 2.0. The rate of oxidation of PTU was given by -d[PTU]/dt = k1[ClO2-][PTU] + k2[HClO2][PTU] with the rate law: -d[PTU]/dt = [Cl(III)](T)[PTU]0/K(a1) + [H+] [k1K(a1) + k2[H+]]; where [Cl(III)]T is the sum of chlorite and chlorous acid and K(a1) is the acid dissociation constant for chlorous acid. The following bimolecular rate constants were evaluated; k1 = 31.5+/-2.3 M(-1) s(-1) and k2 = 114+/-7 M(-1) s(-1). The direct reaction of ClO2 with PTU was autocatalytic in low acid concentrations with a stoichiometric ratio of 8:5; 8ClO2 + 5PhN(H)CSNH2 + 9H2O --> 5SO4(2-) + 5PhN(H)CONH2 + 8Cl- + 18H+. The proposed mechanism implicates HOCl as a major intermediate whose autocatalytic production determined the observed global dynamics of the reaction. A comprehensive 29-reaction scheme is evoked to describe the complex reaction dynamics.

Bond and mode selectivity in the reaction of atomic chlorine with vibrationally excited CH2D2

The title reaction is investigated by co-expanding a mixture of Cl2 and CH2D2 into a vacuum chamber and initiating the reaction by photolyzing Cl2 with linearly polarized 355 nm light. Excitation of the first C-H overtone of CH2D2 leads to a preference for hydrogen abstraction over deuterium abstraction by at least a factor of 20, whereas excitation of the first C-D overtone of CH2D2 reverses this preference by at least a factor of 10. Reactions with CH2D2 prepared in a local mode containing two quanta in one C-H oscillator /2000>- or in a local mode containing one quantum each in two C-H oscillators /1100> lead to products with significantly different rotational, vibrational, and angular distributions, although the vibrational energy for each mode is nearly identical. The Cl+CH2D2/2000>- reaction yields methyl radical products primarily in their ground state, whereas the Cl+CH2D2/1100> reaction yields methyl radical products that are C-H stretch excited. The HCl(v=1) rotational distribution from the Cl+CH2D2/2000>- reaction is significantly hotter than the HCl(v=1) rotational distribution from the Cl+CH2D2/1100> reaction, and the HCl(v=1) differential cross-section (DCS) of the Cl+CH2D2/2000>- reaction is more broadly side scattered than the HCl(v=1) DCS of the Cl+CH2D2/1100> reaction. The results can be explained by a simple spectator model and by noting that the /2000>- mode leads to a wider cone of acceptance for the reaction than the /1100> mode. These measurements represent the first example of mode selectivity observed in a differential cross section, and they demonstrate that vibrational excitation can be used to direct the reaction pathway of the Cl+CH2D2 reaction.     

Control of the evolution of iron peroxide intermediate in superoxide reductase from Desulfoarculus baarsii. Involvement of lysine 48 in protonation

Superoxide reductase is a nonheme iron metalloenzyme that detoxifies superoxide anion radicals O(2)(?-) in some microorganisms. Its catalytic mechanism was previously proposed to involve a single ferric iron (hydro)peroxo intermediate, which is protonated to form the reaction product H(2)O(2). Here, we show by pulse radiolysis that the mutation of the well-conserved lysine 48 into isoleucine in the SOR from Desulfoarculus baarsii dramatically affects its reaction with O(2)(?-). Although the first reaction intermediate and its decay are not affected by the mutation, H(2)O(2) is no longer the reaction product. In addition, in contrast to the wild-type SOR, the lysine mutant catalyzes a two-electron oxidation of an olefin into epoxide in the presence of H(2)O(2), suggesting the formation of iron-oxo intermediate species in this mutant. In agreement with the recent X-ray structures of the peroxide intermediates trapped in a SOR crystal, these data support the involvement of lysine 48 in the specific protonation of the proximal oxygen of the peroxide intermediate to generate H(2)O(2), thus avoiding formation of iron-oxo species, as is observed in cytochrome P450. In addition, we proposed that the first reaction intermediate observed by pulse radiolysis is a ferrous-iron superoxo species, in agreement with TD-DFT calculations of the absorption spectrum of this intermediate. A new reaction scheme for the catalytical mechanism of SOR with O(2)(?-) is presented in which ferrous iron-superoxo and ferric hydroperoxide species are reaction intermediates, and the lysine 48 plays a key role in the control of the evolution of iron peroxide intermediate to form H(2)O(2).     

Formation of nitrous acid and nitric oxide in the heterogeneous dark reaction of nitrogen dioxide and water vapor in a smog chamber

The dark reaction of NO_x and H₂O vapor in 1 atm of air was studied for the purpose of elucidating the recently discussed unknown radical source in smog chambers. Nitrous acid and nitric oxide were found to be formed by the reaction of NO₂ and H₂O in an evacuable and bakable smog chamber. No nitric acid was observed in the gas phase. The reaction is not stoichiometric and is thought to be a heterogeneous wall reaction. The reaction rate is first order with respect to NO₂ and H₂O, and the concentrations of HONO and NO initially increase linearly with time. The same reaction proceeds with a different rate constant in a quartz cell, and the reaction of NO₂ and H₂¹⁸O gave H¹⁸ONO exclusively. Taking into consideration the heterogeneous reaction of NO₂ and H₂O, the upper limit of the rate constant of the third-order reaction NO + NO₂ + H₂O → 2HONO was deduced to be (3.0 ± 1.4) × 10^?10 ppm^?2-min^?1, which is one order of magnitude smaller than the previously reported value. Nitrous acid formed by the heterogeneous dark reaction of NO₂ and H₂O should contribute significantly to both an initially present HONO and a continuous supply of OH radicals by photolysis in smog chamber experiments.     

Modeling SN2 reactions in methanol solution by ab initio calculation of nucleophile solvent-substrate clusters

[Structure: see text]. Ab initio calculations were used to study the S(N)2 reactions of the CH3OCH2I molecule with a methoxide ion (CH3O-) and a methanol molecule by systematically building up the reaction system with explicit incorporation of the methanol solvent molecules. For the reaction of CH3OCH2I with a methoxide ion, the explicit incorporation of the methanol molecules to better solvate the methoxide ion led to an increase in the barrier to reaction. For the reaction of CH3OCH2I with a methanol molecule, the explicit incorporation of the methanol molecules led to a decrease in the barrier to reaction because of an inclination of this reaction to proceed with the nucleophilic displacements accompanied by proton transfer through the H-bonding chain. The H-bonding chain served as both acid and base catalysts for the displacement reaction. A ca. 10(15)-fold acceleration of the methanol tetramer incorporated S(N)2 reaction was predicted relative to the corresponding methanol monomer reaction. The properties of the reactions examined are discussed briefly.

3-Aryl-2-chloropropanal was obtained by the reaction of arenediazonium chlorides with acrolein in the presence of copper(II) chloride. N-Aryl(2-pyridyl)-5-(R-benzyl)-1,3-thiazole-2-amines were formed in high yield by the reaction of these aldehydes with aryl- and 2-pyridylthioureas. The same compounds were obtained by the reaction of 5-(R-benzyl)-1,3-thiazole-2-amines with aniline.     

Kinetics and mechanism of nucleophilic halogen exchange in furan derivatives

Studies are made of the reaction of 5-bromofurfurylidenaniline with aromatic amines (reaction 1), of the disproportionation of 5-bromofurfurylidenaniline (reaction 2), and of the reaction of 5-bromofurfurylidenaniline and 5-bromofurfural with saturated secondary amines (reaction 3). It is shown that these reactions are of the autocatalytic type (the catalyst being a reaction product, the hydrobromide of the amine), that addition of acid accelerates them, while they are retarded by addition of alkali. The hypothesis is advanced that in these reactions the active form of the substrate is the salt containing the fragment. The latter arises by protonation of the Schiff's base (reactions 1 and 2), or by quaternization of aminoacetals (which are products formed by addition of a secondary amine across the (double) bonds in through the action of the hydrohalide salt of the amine (reaction 3).

Oxidation of Styrene with Molecular Oxygen in Supercritical CO2

The oxidation of styrene with molecular oxygen catalyzed by PdCl2 CuCl2 has been investigated in supercritical CO2 with a batch reactor. The oxidative system of styrene contains four components at the beginning and seven components during the reaction. The critical temperature, critical pressure, and critical density at different conversions are determined by using a high-pressure view cell. The effect of phase behavior on the conversion and selectivity were studied. Experimental results showed that the critical parameters of the reaction mixture at fixed initial molar ratio changed with the conversion of reactant. The conversion of styrene reached maximum near the critical density of the reaction mixture. Product selectivity also varied with density of reaction mixture and could be tuned to some degree.     

Thiocyanogen as an intermediate in the oxidation of thiocyanate by hydrogen peroxide in acidic aqueous solution

The kinetics of the reaction of H2O2 with excess SCN- in acidic media was studied by use of Ti(IV) as an indicator for the concentration of H2O2. Pseudo-first-order behavior was realized by this method, and these data confirm the acid-catalyzed rate law and rate constant reported some 40 years ago for this reaction under conditions of excess H2O2. Under the same conditions except without Ti(IV), repetitive-scan spectra reveal the formation and decay of an intermediate that absorbs in the UV. In the proposed mechanism, HOSCN is produced in the first step and it is converted rapidly to (SCN)2 through its equilibrium reaction with SCN-. The observed intermediate is believed to be (SCN)2, which decays on a longer time scale. Excellent global fits of this mechanism to the repetitive-scan data are obtained with rate constants constrained by the Ti(IV) data and published previously in our study of the ClO2/SCN- reaction. These fits yield a spectrum for (SCN)2 that is characterized by lambda(max) = 297 nm and epsilon297 = 147 M(-1) cm(-1), in fine agreement with our prior report.     

Kinetic modeling of the reduction of nitric oxide in combustion products by isocyanic acid

The RAPRENO_x process for NO reduction in combustion products involves reaction of nitric oxide with isocyanic acid. We have developed a mechanism for the gas-phase reaction of isocyanic acid with nitric oxide in the presence of various amounts of O₂, H₂O, and CO. Kinetics calculations using the mechanism are compared with the experimental data of Siebers and Caton, and the model reproduces all trends of these data. Sensitivity and rate-of-production analyses show that the reactions of HNCO with OH, O, and H play a major role in the NO-removal process and that NO removal occurs primarily by reaction of NO with NCO to form N₂O, which subsequently reacts slowly to form N₂. The overall reaction is critically dependent on production of radicals. When O₂, H₂O, and CO are present, the radicals are supplied by the moist-CO chain branching sequence. When any of these species is absent, radicals must be supplied by other reactions, principally the N₂O decomposition reaction and the reaction of the NH₂ radical with NO.

The elimination of a hydrogen atom in Na(H2O)n

By a systematic examination on Na(H2O)n, with n = 4-7, 9, 10, and 15, we demonstrate that a hydrogen loss reaction can be initiated by a single sodium atom with water molecules. This reaction is similar to the well-known size-dependent intracluster hydrogen loss in Mg+(H2O)n, which is isoelectronic to Na(H2O)n. However, with one less charge on Na(H2O)n than that on Mg+(H2O)n, the hydrogen loss for Na(H2O)n is characterized by a higher barrier and a more flexible solvation shell around the metal ion, although the reaction should be accessible, as the lowest barrier is around 8 kcal/mol. Interestingly, the hydroxide ion OH- produced in the process is stabilized by the solvation of H2O molecules and the formation of an ion pair Na+(H2O)4(H2O)n-l-4[OH-(H2O)l]. The activation barrier is reduced as the unpaired electron in Na(H2O)n moves to higher solvation shells with increasing cluster size, and the reaction is not switched off for larger clusters. This is in sharp contrast to the reaction for Mg+(H2O)n, in which the OH- ion is stabilized by direct coordination with Mg2+ and the reaction is switched off for n > 17, as the unpaired electron moved to higher solvation shells. Such a contrast illustrates the important link between microsolvation environment and chemical reactivity in solvation clusters.
