A catalyst-free novel synthesis of diethyl carbonate from ethyl carbamate in supercritical ethanol

Diethyl carbonate has been synthesized via the alcoholysis of ethyl carbamate in supercritical ethanol under catalyst-free conditions.The influences of various parameters such as reaction temperature,reaction time,reaction pressure,ethanol/ethyl molar ratios and reaction loading volume on the yield of DEC were studied systematically.The experimental results indicated that the alcoholysis of ethyl carbamate was greatly improved in supercritical ethanol.The optimal reaction conditions were as follows：a reaction temperature of 573 K,a reaction time of 30 min,a reaction pressure of 13.2 MPa,an ethanol/ethyl carbamate molar ratio of 10 and a reactor loading volume of 285 μL respectively.The optimal yield of DEC was 22.9%.     

Effect of supercritical fluid of CO2 drying during Cu/ZnO catalyst preparation on methanol synthesis from syngas at low temperature

A copper-based catalyst can be utilized to synthesize methanol from syngas containing carbon dioxide as well as water at low temperature and low pressure. However, the agglomeration of the metallic copper and zinc oxide decreased the catalyst surface area and the Cu-specific surface area. In order to prevent the sintering, the supercritical CO₂ was used to extract water from the catalyst precursor. Our results demonstrate that the Cu-specific surface area was the essential factor to affect the catalytic activity. A larger Cu-specific surface area would cause higher methanol synthesis activity. The optimized supercritical CO₂ drying condition was at 308?K and 8.0?MPa for 3?h when the methanol yield reached 44.8%.     

Ring-methylation of pyrrole and indole using supercritical methanol

The ring-methylation of pyrrole or indole using supercritical methanol proceeded at 623 K without the further addition of catalysts. Pyrrole produced a mixture of unreacted pyrrole and mono-, di-, tri-, and tetra-methylpyrroles at the reaction time of 8 h. On the other hand, indole was selectively methylated at the C3 position to afford 3-methylindole in 79% yield at the reaction time of 5 h. The ring-methylation of indole using supercritical methanol was claimed to proceed via (1H-indol-3-yl)methanol. The conversion of indole to (1H-indol-3-yl)methanol would be achieved by the electrophilic aromatic substitution between the indol-1-ide (indole anion) and H₂C⁺–OH. The (1H-indol-3-yl)methanol must be reduced to 3-methylindole in the presence of supercritical methanol.

Characterization of lecithin-based microemulsions used as media for a cholesterol oxidase-catalyzed reaction

Microemulsions stabilized by soybean lecithin and ethanol have been characterized with respect to phase behavior, distribution of the ethanol cosolvent, conductivities, viscosities, and volume fractions of the different phases in Winsor III systems. The conductivities and viscosities of the surfactant-rich phase in the Winsor III system indicate that this phase exhibits a bicontinuous structure. The reaction yield at 298.2K for the enzymatic conversion of cholesterol to cholestenone by cholesterol oxidase performed in a Winsor III system containing water, lecithin, hexadecane, and ethanol is low.

Novel process for synthesis of 1,1,3,3-tetrabutyl-1-methoxy-3-isocyanatodistannoxane

A new process for synthesis of 1,1,3,3-tetrabutyl-1-methoxy-3-isocyanatodistannoxane (TBMI) from dibutyltin oxide (DSnO), methyl carbamate and methanol was proposed. The structure of the TBMI was confirmed by UV-Vis, elemental analyses, FTIR and HPLC. The effects of various conditions, such as reaction temperature, pressure, reaction time, molar ratio of the reactants and the stirring speed were investigated in the terms of TBMI yield. The experimental results indicated that the optimal reaction conditions were the molar ratio of methyl carbamate:DSnO of 2:1, the reaction time of 3 h, the reaction temperature of 433 K, the methanol:DSnO molar ratio of 2:1, the initial pressure of 0.4 MPa and the stirring speed of 1000 rpm, respectively. TBMI yield of 96.9% was obtained in the optimal reaction conditions. This process shows some advantages like easy to operate, higher yield, shorter reaction time and lower cost.     

Comparison and optimisation of biodiesel production from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Jatropha curcas</Emphasis> oil using supercritical methyl acetate and methanol

In this study, biodiesel has been successfully produced by transesterification using non-catalytic supercritical methanol and methyl acetate. The variables studied, such as reaction time, reaction temperature and molar ratio of methanol or methyl acetate to oil, were optimised to obtain the optimum yield of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). Subsequently, the results for both reactions were analysed and compared via Response Surface Methodology (RSM) analysis. The mathematical models for both reactions were found to be adequate to predict the optimum yield of biodiesel. The results from the optimisation studies showed that a yield of 89.4 % was achieved for the reaction with supercritical methanol within the reaction time of 27 min, reaction temperature of 358°C, and methanol-to-oil molar ratio of 44. For the reaction in the presence of supercritical methyl acetate, the optimum conditions were found to be: reaction time of 32 min, reaction temperature of 400°C, and methyl acetate-to-oil molar ratio of 50 to achieve 71.9 % biodiesel yield. The differences in the behaviour of methanol and methyl acetate in the transesterification reaction are largely due to the difference in reactivity and mutual solubility of Jatropha curcas oil and methanol/methyl acetate.

Introduction of PEGs on pore-wall of three-dimensionally ordered macroporous cross-linked polystyrene for catalyzation of α-butylation of phenylacetonitrile

Three-dimensionally ordered macroporous cross-linked polystyrenes (3DOM CLPS) attached polyethylene glycols (PEGs) with different molecular weights were prepared for use as a novel tri-phase transfer catalyst. The 3DOM catalysts were characterized by FTIR and SEM. The catalytic activity of functionalized 3DOM CLPS was evaluated using ??-butylation reaction of phenylacetonitrile in organic phase and potassium hydroxide aqueous solution in water phase as a model system. The effects of various factors on the phase transfer catalysis reaction of liquid-solid-liquid were investigated. Reusing performance of the catalyst was also examined. The results show that the 3DOM CLPS attached PEG400 is an effective and stable tri-phase catalyst for ??-butylation reaction. The reaction yield increases with the increasing of temperature and extension of time. After reusing for eight times, the PEG chains did not run off and the ordered structure was well preserved, and the yield of ??-butyl phenylacetonitrile was still above 90%.     

原位ATR红外光谱研究超临界条件下酯交换反应过程与机理

在温度15℃~300℃和压力0.1MPa~25MPa下,采用原位ATR(Attenuated Total Reflectance)红外光谱技术研究高温高压条件下甲醇、乙醇和丙醇的分子间氢键和分子内化学键随温度和压力的变化及亚/超临界甲醇条件下醇油的混合与酯交换反应过程与机理。纯物质的红外光谱研究表明,在压力高于14MPa时,随温度由15℃升高到250℃,甲醇、乙醇和丙醇的分子间氢键减弱,减弱程度最大的温度为75℃~225℃;但温度升高对甲基的振动没有影响,当温度超过225℃后,甲醇的羟基振动峰发生明显分峰,而乙醇和丙醇的羟基振动峰未发现分峰变化;在整个温度和压力范围内,三油酸甘油酯的红外光谱图未发生明显变化。醇油混合与酯交换反应过程的红外研究表明,在14MPa时,当温度超过185℃后甲醇与三油酸甘油酯完全互溶,两者形成均相;当混合体系温度超过220℃时,甲醇与三油酸甘油酯开始发生酯交换反应。因此,超临界甲醇条件下的酯交换是均相反应,而且氢键变化不是导致酯交换反应的主要原因,高温高压条件下C－OH键振动形式的变化,即出现C⁺…O^-…H⁺振动使小分子醇的亲电性和亲核性均增强是导致超临界无催化酯交换反应快速进行的主要原因。     

Transformation of benzonitrile into benzyl alcohol and benzoate esters in supercritical alcohols

The reactions of benzonitrile in supercritical methanol, ethanol, and 2-propanol were investigated under non-catalytic conditions. In supercritical methanol, benzonitrile was converted to methyl benzoate in high yield. The esterification reaction also occurred in supercritical ethanol to afford ethyl benzoate in moderate yield. The esterification could occur via a route analogous to the Pinner reaction. On the other hand, benzonitrile in supercritical 2-propanol yielded no ester. Benzyl alcohol was the major product in supercritical 2-propanol. We investigated the reaction of the CN bond in supercritical 2-propanol. In supercritical 2-propanol, N-benzylideneaniline was transferred to the reduction product (N-benzylaniline) and hydrolysis products (benzyl alcohol and aniline). The hydrolysis reaction was restricted when the reaction was carried out in supercritical 2-propanol with a low water content. This indicates that the water in the 2-propanol acts as a reagent for the hydrolysis of the CN bond. These results suggested the following reaction process: C₆H₅CN→C₆H₅CHNH→C₆H₅CHO→C₆H₅CH₂OH.

Extraction of paeonol from Jisheng Shenqi Wan using supercritical fluid extraction

Supercritical carbon dioxide with or without methanol and 95% ethanol modifiers was used to extract paeonol from the pills of Jisheng Shenqi Wan and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to analyze the extract. The effect of temperature and pressure on the yield of paeonol was tested. The results show that the recovery of paeonol was improved by adding a polar modifier, such as methanol and 95% ethanol in supercritical fluid. The yield obtained after 120 min extraction with 95% ethanol modified-supercritical carbon dioxide was the highest (1.51, w/w at 60 degrees C and 400 bar), while that obtained with supercritical carbon dioxide only at 40 degrees C was the lowest from 0.67 to 0.83 over a range of 200-600 bar.

The thermolysis of α-pinene and verbenone epoxides in supercritical solvents

Thermal transformations of α-pinene and verbenone epoxides were studied in supercritical solvents with complex compositions, including CO₂, lower alcohols (ethanol and isopropanol), and water, over the temperature and pressure ranges 387–575 K and 135–215 atm. The main product from α-pinene epoxide in a supercritical solvent containing water was campholenic aldehyde and pinocamphone; the total content of these products in the reaction mixture was 80%. Suggestions concerning the mechanism of the thermal isomerization of α-pinene epoxide depending on the acidity of supercritical solvents were made. The direction of verbenone epoxide transformations was independent of the presence of water in the mixture. The main identified products were ketoalcohols with para-menthane and camphane frameworks.
