Mechanisms and kinetics of noncatalytic ether reaction in supercritical water. 2. Proton-transferred fragmentation of dimethyl ether to formaldehyde in competition with hydrolysis

Noncatalytic reaction pathways and rates of dimethyl ether (DME) in supercritical water are determined in a tube reactor made of quartz according to liquid- and gas-phase 1H and 13C NMR observations. The reaction is studied at two concentrations (0.1 and 0.5 M) in supercritical water at 400 degrees C and over a water-density range of 0.1-0.6 g/cm3. The supercritical water reaction is compared with the neat one (in the absence of solvent) at 0.1 M and 400 degrees C. DME is found to decompose through (i) the proton-transferred fragmentation to methane and formaldehyde and (ii) the hydrolysis to methanol. Formaldehyde from reaction (i) is consecutively subjected to four types of redox reactions. Two of them proceed even without solvent: (iii) the unimolecular proton-transferred decarbonylation forming hydrogen and carbon monoxide and (iv) the bimolecular self-disproportionation generating methanol and carbon monoxide. When the solvent water is present, two additional paths are open: (v) the bimolecular self-disproportionation of formaldehyde with reactant water, producing methanol and formic acid, and (vi) the bimolecular cross-disproportionation between formaldehyde and formic acid, yielding methanol and carbonic acid. Methanol is produced through the three types of disproportionations (iv)-(vi) as well as the hydrolysis (ii). The presence of solvent water decelerates the proton-transferred fragmentation of DME; the rate constant is reduced by 40% at 0.5 g/cm3. This is caused by the suppression of low-frequency concerted motion corresponding to the reaction coordinate for the simultaneous C-O bond scission and proton transfer from one methyl carbon to the other. In contrast to the proton-transferred fragmentation, the hydrolysis of DME is markedly accelerated by increasing the water density. The latter becomes more important than the former in supercritical water at densities greater than 0.5 g/cm3.     

Kinetic study on disproportionations of C1 aldehydes in supercritical water: methanol from formaldehyde and formic acid

The reaction pathways and kinetics of C1 aldehydes, formaldehyde (HCHO) and formic acid (HCOOH=HOCHO), are studied at 400 degrees C in neat condition and in supercritical water over a wide range of water density, 0.1-0.6 g/cm3. Formaldehyde exhibits four reactions: (i) the self-disproportionation of formaldehyde generating methanol and formic acid, (ii) the cross-disproportionation between formaldehyde and formic acid generating methanol and carbon dioxide, (iii) the water-independent self-disproportionation of formaldehyde generating methanol and carbon monoxide, and (iv) the decarbonylation of formaldehyde generating hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The self- and cross-disproportionations overwhelm the water-independent self-disproportionation and the formaldehyde decarbonylation. The rate constants of the self- and cross-disproportionations are determined in the water density range of 0.1-0.6 g/cm3. The rate constant of the cross-disproportionation is 2-3 orders of magnitude larger than that of the self-disproportionation, which indicates that formic acid is a stronger reductant than formaldehyde. Combining the kinetic results with our former computational study on the equilibrium constants of the self- and cross-disproportionations, the reaction mechanisms of these disproportionations are discussed within the framework of transition-state theory. The reaction path for methanol production can be controlled by tuning the water density and reactant concentrations. The methanol yield of approximately 80% is achieved by mixing formaldehyde with formic acid in the ratio of 1:2 at the water density of 0.4 g/cm3.     

The reaction of protonated dimethyl ether with dimethyl ether: temperature and isotope effects on the methyl cation transfer reaction forming trimethyloxonium cation and methanol.

Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry has been used to study the temperature and deuterium isotope effects on the methyl cation transfer reaction between protonated dimethyl ether and dimethyl ether to produce trimethyloxonium cation and methanol. From the temperature dependence of this bimolecular reaction it was possible to obtain thermodynamic information concerning the energy barrier for methyl cation transfer for the first time. From the slope of an Arrhenius plot, a value for DeltaH(++) of -1.1 +/- 1.2 kJ mol(-1) was obtained, while from the intercept a value for DeltaS(++) of -116 +/- 15 J K(-1) mol(-1) was derived. This yields a DeltaG(++)(298) value of 33.7 +/- 2.1 kJ mol(-1). All thermodynamic values were in good agreement with ab initio calculations. Rate constant ratios for the unimolecular dissociation forming trimethyloxonium cation and the dissociation re-forming reactants were extracted from the apparent bimolecular rate constant. Attempts at modeling the temperature dependence and isotope effects of the unimolecular dissociation forming trimethyloxonium cation were also made.     

Quenching mechanism of Rose Bengal triplet state involved in photosensitization of oxygen in ethylene glycol

The quenching rate constants of the excited triplet state of Rose Bengal (RB) by oxygen (k(obs)) were measured in ethylene glycol (EG) at different temperatures using nanosecond laser flash photolysis. Although a plot of the quenching rate constant k(obs) for RB triplet state vs oxygen concentration is linear at 20 degrees C, the oxygen dependence of k(obs) does not exhibit linearity but upward curvature at high temperatures from 130 to 140 degrees C. The upward curvature at high temperatures is not well-described by a kinetic scheme first postulated by Gijzeman et al., which is characterized by exciplex formation and a unimolecular dissociation of the exciplex to products, but instead by a more comprehensive mechanism involving a bimolecular dissociation in addition to a unimolecular one. The measurements of the oxygen dependence of k(obs) for RB triplet state at different temperatures yielded a reaction enthalpy for the exciplex formation of 150 kJ mol(-1). Due to the large exothermic reaction enthalpy, equilibrium was obtained for the exciplex at 20 degrees C even at low oxygen concentration and the bimolecular quenching by oxygen became the major dissociation process. The equilibrium attainment and bimolecular dissociation provide a linear oxygen dependence of k(obs) to all outward appearances. Therefore, linearity does not always mean that exciplex dissociation proceeds solely through a unimolecular mechanism.     

Spontaneous crosslinking of poly(1,5‐dioxepan‐2‐one) originating from ether bond fragmentation

The spontaneous reaction of unsaturated double bonds induced by the fragmentation of ether bonds is presented as a method to obtain a crosslinked polymer material. Poly(1,5‐dioxepan‐2‐one) (PDXO) was synthesized using three different polymerization techniques to investigate the influence of the synthesis conditions on the ether bond fragmentation. It was found that thermal fragmentation of the ether bonds in the polymer main chain occurred when the synthesis temperature was 140 °C or higher. The double bonds produced reacted spontaneously to form crosslinks between the polymer chains. The formation of a network structure was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry and differential scanning calorimetry. In addition, the low molar mass species released during hydrolysis of the DXO polymers were monitored by ESI‐MS and MALDI‐TOF‐MS. Ether bond fragmentation also occurred during the ionization in the electrospray instrument, but predominantly in the lower mass region. No fragmentation took place during MALDI ionization, but it was possible to detect water‐soluble DXO oligomers with a molar mass up to approximately 5000 g/mol. The results show that ether bond fragmentation can be used to form a network structure of PDXO. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 46: 7258–7267, 2008     

A prototype for catalyzed amide bond cleavage: production of the [NH(3), H(2)O](*)(+) dimer from ionized formamide and its carbene isomer

The reaction of ionized formamide H(2)NCHO(*)(+) with water leads to an exclusive loss of CO from the complex. This contrasts with the unimolecular reaction of low-energy ionized formamide, which loses exclusively one hydrogen atom. The unimolecular loss of CO is not observed because it involves several H-transfers corresponding to high-energy barriers. Experimental and theoretical studies of the role of solvation by water on the fragmentation of ionized formamide leads to three different results: (i) In contrast with different systems previously studied, in which solvation plays only a role on one or two steps of a reaction, a molecule of water is efficient in the catalysis of the decarbonylation process because water catalyzes all the steps of the reaction of ionized formamide, including the final dissociation of the amide bond. (ii) The catalyzed isomerization of carbonylic radical cations into their carbene counterparts is shown to be an important step in the process. To study this step, a precise probe, characterizing the carbene structure by ion-molecule reaction, is for the first time described. (iii) Finally, decarbonylation of ionized formamide yields the [NH(3), H(2)O](*)(+) ion, which has not been generated and experimentally studied previously. By this method, the [NH(3), H(2)O](*)(+) ion is generated in abundance and with a low internal energy content, allowing one either to prepare, by ligand exchange, a series of other solvated radical cations or to generate covalent structures such as distonic ions. First results on related systems indicate that the conclusions obtained for ionized formamide are widespread.     

Kinetic and equilibrium study on formic acid decomposition in relation to the water-gas-shift reaction

Kinetics and equilibrium are studied on the hydrothermal decarbonylation and decarboxylation of formic acid, the intermediate of the water-gas-shift (WGS) reaction, in hot water at temperatures of 170-330 degrees C, to understand and control the hydrothermal WGS reaction. (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy is applied to analyze as a function of time the quenched reaction mixtures in both the liquid and gas phases. Only the decarbonylation is catalyzed by HCl, and the reaction is first-order with respect to both [H(+)] and [HCOOH]. Consequently, the reaction without HCl is first and a half (1.5) order due to the unsuppressed ionization of formic acid. The HCl-accelerated decarbonylation path can thus be separated in time from the decarboxylation. The rate and equilibrium constants for the decarbonylation are determined separately by using the Henry constant (gas solubility data) for carbon monoxide in hot water. The rate constant for the decarbonylation is 1.5 x 10(-5), 2.0 x 10(-4), 3.7 x 10(-3), and 6.3 x 10(-2) mol(-1) kg s(-1), respectively, at 170, 200, 240, and 280 degrees C on the liquid branch of the saturation curve. The Arrhenius plot of the decarbonylation is linear and gives the activation energy as 146 +/- 3 kJ mol(-1). The equilibrium constant K(CO) = [CO]/[HCOOH] is 0.15, 0.33, 0.80, and 4.2, respectively, at 170, 200, 240, and 280 degrees C. The van't Hoff plot results in the enthalpy change of DeltaH = 58 +/- 6 kJ mol(-1). The decarboxylation rate is also measured at 240-330 degrees C in both acidic and basic conditions. The rate is weakly dependent on the solution pH and is of the order of 10(-4) mol kg(-1) s(-1) at 330 degrees C. Furthermore, the equilibrium constant K(CO2) = [CO(2)][H(2)]/[HCOOH] is estimated to be 1.0 x10(2) mol kg(-1) at 330 degrees C.     

Dimethyl ether chemical ionization of arylalkylamines

The gas-phase reactions of dimethyl ether (DME) ions with a number of biologically active arylalkylamines of the general formula R(1)R(2)C(6)H(3)CHR(3)(CH(2))(n)NR(4)R(5), where R(1) = H or OH, R(2) = H, F, NO(2), OH or OCH(3), R(3) = H or OH, R(4) and R(5) = H or CH(3), have been studied by means of chemical ionization mass spectrometry. Under the experimental conditions used, the most abundant DME ion is the methoxymethyl cation (CH(3)OCH(2)(+), m/z 45). The unimolecular metastable decompositions of the [M + 45](+), [M + 13](+) and [M + 15](+) adducts formed have been interpreted in terms of the initial site of reaction with the amines and the presence of different functional groups in the molecule. This has permitted establishment of general fragmentation patterns for the adducts, and their correlation with structural features of the molecules. The main site of reaction of the ion CH(3)OCH(2)(+) with the amines seems to be the amino group, particularly if the amine is primary, although a competition with attack on the aromatic ring and especially on the benzylic hydroxy group is observed. In a few cases the reaction mechanisms have been elucidated through the use of deuterated amines obtained by H/D exchange with D(2)O.     

Asymmetric synthesis of alpha-amino acids based on carbon radical addition to glyoxylic oxime ether

The first asymmetric synthesis of alpha-amino acids based on diastereoselective carbon radical addition to glyoxylic imine derivatives is reported. The addition of an isopropyl radical, generated from i-PrI, Bu(3)SnH, and Et(3)B in CH(2)Cl(2) at 25 degrees C, to achiral glyoxylic oxime ether 1 proceeded regioselectively at the imino carbon atom of the oxime ether group to give an excellent yield of the C-isopropylated product 2. The competitive reaction using glyoxylic oxime ether 1 and aldoxime ether 4 showed that the reactivity of the glyoxylic oxime ether toward nucleophilic carbon radicals was enhanced by the presence of a neighboring electron-withdrawing substituent. Thus, the alkyl radical addition to glyoxylic oxime ether 1 proceeded smoothly even at -78 degrees C, in contrast to the unactivated aldoxime ether 4. A high degree of stereocontrol in the carbon radical addition to the glyoxylic oxime ether was achieved by using Oppolzer's camphorsultam as a chiral auxiliary. The stannyl radical-mediated reaction of the camphorsultam derivative 6 with an isopropyl radical at -78 degrees C afforded a 96:4 diastereomeric mixture, 7a, of the C-isopropylated product. The reductive removal of the benzyloxy group of the major diastereomer (R)-7a, by treatment with Mo(CO)(6) and the subsequent removal of the sultam auxiliary by standard hydrolysis, afforded the enantiomerically pure D-valine (R)-12 without any loss of stereochemical purity. To evaluate the new methodology, a variety of alkyl radicals were employed in the addition reaction which gave the alkylated products 7 with excellent diastereoselectivity, allowing access to a wide range of enantiomerically pure natural and unnatural alpha-amino acids. Even in the absence of Bu(3)SnH, treatment of 6 with alkyl iodide and Et(3)B at 20 degrees C gave the C-alkylated products 7 with moderate diastereoselectivities. The use of Et(2)Zn as a radical initiator, instead of Et(3)B, was also effective for the radical reaction. The enantioselective isopropyl radical addition to 1 using (R)-(+)-2, 2'-isopropylidenebis(4-phenyl-2-oxazoline) and MgBr(2) gave excellent chemical yield of the valine derivative 2 in 52% ee.     

Hydrothermal C-C bond formation and disproportionation of acetaldehyde with formic acid

Reaction pathways and kinetics of C2 (carbon-two) aldehyde, acetaldehyde (CH3CHO), and formic acid HCOOH or HOCHO, are studied in neutral and acidic subcritical water at 200-250 degrees C. Acetaldehyde is found to exhibit (i) the acid-catalyzed C-C bond formation between acetaldehyde and formic acid, which generates lactic acid (CH3CH(OH)COOH), (ii) the cross-disproportionation, where formic acid reduces acetaldehyde into ethanol, and (iii) the aldol condensation. The lactic acid formation is a green C-C bond formation, proceeding without any organic solvents or metal catalysts. The new C-C bond formation takes place between formic acid and aldehydes irrespective of the presence of alpha-hydrogens. The hydrothermal cross-disproportionation produces ethanol without base catalysts and proceeds even in acidic condition, in sharp contrast to the classical base-catalyzed Cannizzaro reaction. The rate constants of the reactions (i)-(iii) and the equilibrium constant of the lactic acid formation are determined in the temperature range of 200-250 degrees C and at HCl concentrations of 0.2-0.6 M (mol/dm(3)). The reaction pathways are controlled so that the lactic acid or ethanol yield may be maximized by tuning the reactant concentrations and the temperature. A high lactic acid yield of 68% is achieved when acetaldehyde and formic acid are mixed in hot water, respectively, at 0.01 and 2.0 M in the presence of 0.6 M HCl at 225 degrees C. The ethanol yield attained 75% by the disproportionation of acetaldehyde (0.3 M) and formic acid (2.0 M) at 225 degrees C in the absence of added HCl.     

Kinetics of the hydrolysis of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) in water-based food simulants

Summary The first-order degradation kinetics of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE; CAS No. 1675-54-3) has been studied in three water-based food simulants (3% (W/V) acetic acid, distilled water and 15% (V/V) ethanol) at various temperatures. BADGE and its first and second hydrolysis products were determined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. Nonlinear regression was used to fit the experimental data at 40, 50 and 60°C with the proposed kinetic equations; Arrhenius' equation was then fitted to the rate constants obtained and the kinetic models were tested by comparing experimental data obtained at 70°C with the kinetic curves calculated using the rate constants predicted for this temperature. The half-life of BADGE was longest in ethanol and shortest in acetic acid. The rings opening in acetic acid appears to happen by means of active hydrogens whereas in the other simulants it is mainly influenced by the formation of acid/base adducts. The results imply that resins which comply with existing legislation on the migration of unreacted monomer may still contaminate foodstuffs.     

Dehydration of Alcohols on Aluminum Oxide

The dehydration of alcohols on γ-aluminum oxide, which yields water, olefins, and/or ethers, was studied with the aid of kinetic methods and IR spectroscopy. The unimolecular olefin formation probably proceeds via a surface compound, in which an alcohol molecule is joined by two angular H-bonds to an OH group and an oxygen ion on the surface. The ether formation (bimolecular reaction), on the other hand, requires OH groups and oxygen and aluminum ions on the surface. The ether is formed from a surface alkoxide group and molecularly adsorbed alcohol.     

Modification of sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) with phenolic resin

Soluble phenol formaldehyde resin containing hydroxymethyl groups has been used to modify sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK). Modification has been carried out with films containing both the polymers and using dimethyl formamide (DMF) as casting solvent at various temperatures under reduced pressure. Associated solvent and the hydrogen‐bonded by‐product dimethyl amine (DMA) were removed through mild alkali–acid–water treatment. Cured and treated films show good and consistent mechanical properties, water uptake (22–25%), ion‐exchange capacity (1.1–1.5 meq/g) and proton conductivity (125–150 mS/cm) at 30°C and hold promise for application in fuel cells, as indicated by a polarization study in a fuel cell test station.

Crosslinking of sulphonated poly (ether ether ketone) using aromatic bis(hydroxymethyl) compound

2,6-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-4-methyl phenol and 1,4-bis(hydroxymethyl) benzene have been used as crosslinkers in sulphonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK DS 65%, IEC 1.84 mequiv./g) for the preparation of proton exchange membranes (PEMs). Crosslinking of SPEEK has been achieved by thermally activated bridging of the polymer chain with the hydroxymethyl group of crosslinker through condensation reaction with sulphonic acid group. The physico-chemical properties of uncrosslinked and crosslinked membrane were evaluated in terms of ion exchange capacity (IEC), water uptake, ionic conductivity and mechanical properties. The crosslinked membrane showed controlled swelling, ionic conductivity of 25–50 mS/cm at 80 °C and good mechanical properties. The chemical stability of the crosslinked membranes was studied by Fenton's test. The % loss in weight and changes in physico-chemical properties of the treated membranes were determined.     

Synthesis of submicrometer-sized titania spherical particles with a sol-gel method and their application to colloidal photonic crystals

A synthetic method for preparing submicrometer-sized titania particles is proposed, which is based on hydrolysis of titanium alkoxide with the use of a cosolvent and an amine catalyst for alkoxide hydrolysis. The preparation was performed with different amines of ammonia, methylamine (MA), and dimethylamine (DMA) in different solvents of ethanol/acetonitrile, ethanol/methanol, ethanol/acetone, ethanol/acetonitrile, and ethanol/formamide for 0.1-0.3 M water and 0.03 M titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) at temperatures of 10-50 degrees C. The use of the ethanol/acetonitrile solvent with MA was required for preparing monodispersed, spherical particles. The number average of the titania particle sizes and their coefficient of variation were varied from 143 to 551 nm and from 5.7 to 20.6%, respectively, with reaction temperature and concentrations of water and MA. Colloidal crystals of titania particles fabricated with a sedimentation method revealed reflection peaks attributed to Bragg's diffraction. Annealing at 100-1000 degrees C led to shrinkage and crystallization of titania particles followed by an increase in the refractive index of titania particles.     

Surface modification of polyaniline using tetraethyl orthosilicate

A well-dispersible conducting polyaniline/silica hybrid is prepared by the hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) on the surface of polyaniline in water/ethanol solution. It provides a simple and environmentally sound route for preparing the processable conducting polyaniline/silica hybrid at the nanometre level. The conductivity of polyaniline/silica hybrid is 2.43 S cm(-1) at 25 degrees C, and its powder is easily dispersed in the anhydrous ethanol or aqueous solution without any stabilizer. In addition, the structure, morphology and cyclic voltammorgram of this hybrid are also reported.     

Alumina-platinum catalyst in the reductive dehydration of ethanol and diethyl ether to alkanes

The reductive dehydration of ethanol and diethyl ether selectively occurs with the formation of alkanes to C₁₀₊ on an AP-64 alumina-platinum catalyst (0.6 wt % Pt/γ-Al₂O₃) after its reduction with hydrogen at 450°C for 12 h in Ar. It was found that one of the main reaction paths is the insertion of ethylene into substrate intermediates with the predominant formation of normal alkanes. It was found by XAFS spectroscopy that Pt₂Al intermetallide particles were formed along with platinum metal clusters after long reduction. The ammonia TPD data indicated a change in the acid properties of the surface after the long reduction of the catalyst: the concentration of medium-strength surface aprotic acid sites increased by a factor of 2. It was found that the interaction of aprotic sites with water vapor resulted in the formation of strong proton acid sites. It is likely that these latter are responsible for the growth of a carbon skeleton in the course of alkane formation from ethanol.     

Identification of RP-HPLC peaks of bisphenol F and of bisphenol F diglycidyl ether and its hydrolysis products by thermospray mass spectrometry and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry

Summary The need to determine the migration of toxic unreacted compounds in bisphenol diglycidyl ether epoxy resins prompted us to investigate the HPLC properties of bisphenol F diglycidyl ether and its hydrolysis products in the water-based food simulants 3% (w/v) acetic acid, distilled water and 15% (v/v) ethanol. Peaks were identified by reversed-phase HPLC thermospray mass spectrometry and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.     

Hydrothermal carbon-carbon bond formation and disproportionations of C1 aldehydes: formaldehyde and formic acid

Hydrothermal reaction pathways and kinetics of C1 (carbon-one) aldehydes, formaldehyde (HCHO) and formic acid (HCOOH = HOCHO), are studied at 225 degrees C without and with hydrochloric acid (HCl) up to 0.6 M (mol dm(-3)). Reactions unveiled are the following: (i) the self-disproportionation forming methanol and formic acid, a redox reaction between two formaldehydes, (ii) the cross-disproportionation forming methanol and carbonic acid, a redox reaction between formaldehyde and formic acid, and (iii) the acid-catalyzed C-C bond formation producing glycolic acid (HOCH2COOH) as a precursor of the simplest amino acid, glycine. Reaction iii is a hydrothermally induced chemical evolution step from C1 aldehydes, formaldehyde and formic acid. Disproportionations i and ii are found to proceed even without base catalysts unlike the classical Cannizzaro reaction. Acid catalyzes the self-disproportionation (i) and the C-C bond formation (iii), but retards the cross-disproportionation (ii). The rate constants of noncatalyzed and acid/base-catalyzed paths for reactions i, ii, and iii are given additively as 2 x 10(-4) + (2 x 10(-3))[H+], 10(-4) + 10(3)[OH-], and (2 x 10(-3))[H+] M(-1) s(-1), respectively; the concentrations of proton [H+] and hydroxide ion [OH-] are expressed in M. The rate constant of the noncatalytic (neutral) cross-disproportionation is 1 order of magnitude larger than that of the self-disproportionation. The reaction pathways are controlled on the basis of the kinetic analysis to make the glycolic acid and methanol productions dominant by tuning the concentrations of formaldehyde, formic acid, and HCl. The conversion to glycolic acid reaches approximately 90% when formaldehyde, HCl, and formic acid are mixed in the ratio of 1:2:17. The conversion of formaldehyde to methanol reaches approximately 80% when formic acid is added in excess to formaldehyde.
