Pt/Nb-WOx催化甘油选择氢解制1,3-丙二醇: Nb掺杂抑制WOx的过度还原

随着生物柴油产业的快速发展, 甘油作为副产物大量过剩, 通过甘油氢解制备具有高附加值的丙二醇既符合原子经济的原则, 又具有重要的学术研究意义和应用价值. 其中选择氢解制备1,3-丙二醇, 因其产物在新型聚酯材料合成中的重要应用而备受关注, 被认为是最具工业应用潜力的甘油转化工艺之一. 但是由于反应空间位阻效应和热力学上的限制, 甘油氢解制备1,3-丙二醇仍存在很大的挑战. 目前, 可高选择性制得1,3-丙二醇的催化剂体系主要是铱-铼催化剂和铂-钨催化剂两类; 且反应通常需要较苛刻的压力. 在我们的前期工作中, 单原子/准单原子Pt催化剂(Pt/WOx)成功突破了这一压力壁垒, 实现了在较低(1 MPa)氢气压力下优异的甘油选择氢解制1,3-丙二醇活性; 但是该催化剂的耐压性能较差, 是长期反应后失活的一个主要原因, 且随着氢气压力的进一步升高, Pt/WOx催化剂活性大幅下降. 研究发现, 在高压氢气下, 单原子/准单原子催化剂Pt/WOx中的WOx易被过度还原, 导致催化剂失活, 大大限制了该系列单原子催化剂在涉氢催化反应中的应用. 因此, 通过载体改性设计制备具有良好氢气稳定性的载体, 有可能拓宽催化反应的氢压窗口.一般来讲, 可以通过掺杂来改变载体的电子结构、表面化学性质等, 进而改变催化剂活性、选择性和稳定性. 为了提高单原子/准单原子催化剂(Pt/WOx)在高压氢气中的稳定性, 本文采用原位掺杂法制备了一系列具有不同掺杂量、结构、及物化性质的Nb-WOx载体, 并通过物理吸附, XRD, SEM, HRTEM, Raman, XPS对其进行表征. 结果发现Nb掺杂的介孔WOx仍保持较高的比表面积(~136 m2/g); 且当Nb掺杂量增加至2 wt%时, WOx由一维针状堆积转变为二维片状堆积;至5 wt%时,变为三维球状堆积. 以所得的Nb-WOx为载体, 我们制备了一系列Pt高度分散的Pt/Nb-WOx催化剂, 并考察了其在甘油选择性氢解制备1,3-丙二醇反应中的催化性能. 结果表明, 当H2压力由1 MPa升到5 MPa后, Pt/WOx催化剂上1,3-丙二醇的收率由13.9%急剧下降到8.3%; 但随着Nb掺杂量的增加(>2wt%), 1,3-丙二醇的收率随压力升高并没有明显变化, 说明该催化剂在高压氢气下的过度还原被有效抑制, 反应的最佳氢气压力由1 MPa拓宽到5 MPa. 其中, Nb的最佳掺杂量为2 wt%, 在Pt/2%Nb-WOx催化剂上1 MPa甘油氢解转化率为40.0%, 1,3-丙二醇收率11.9%; 当氢气压力为5 MPa时, 甘油氢解转化率为40.3%, 1,3-丙二醇收率11.1%. 值得一提的是, 虽然Nb的掺杂使WOx的表面酸量增加, 并且表现出了更优的酸催化纤维二糖水解活性, 但是在甘油氢解制备1,3-丙二醇的反应中Pt/Nb-WOx催化剂的性能并没有得到提升反而略有下降, 进一步证实了催化剂本身的表面酸性位并不是催化甘油选择氢解的活性中心, 真正的活性中心很可能是氢气辅助下原位产生的B酸.对WOx载体进行Nb的掺杂改性, 显著提高了单原子/准单原子Pt/WOx催化剂在高压氢气反应条件下的稳定性, 进而在更宽压力范围内实现了甘油氢解制1,3-丙二醇的高效催化转化. 同时, 载体的改性也拓宽了该系列催化剂在其他涉氢反应中的应用范围, 尤其是需要较高氢气压力的反应.     

助剂对铂-钨催化剂体系催化氢解甘油制1,3-丙二醇性能的影响

甘油作为生物柴油产业的副产物大量过剩,通过甘油氢解制备具有高附加值的丙二醇既符合原子经济的原则,又具有重要的学术意义和应用价值.尤其是选择氢解制得1,3-丙二醇,因其产物在新型聚酯材料合成中不可替代的作用而备受关注,被认为是最具工业应用潜力的甘油转化工艺之一.目前,可高选择性制得1,3-丙二醇的催化剂体系主要是为铱-铼催化剂和铂-钨催化剂两类.前期工作表明,氧化钨担载的铂单原子/准单原子催化剂(Pt/WOx)具有优异的低压活性(1 MPa氢气)和1,3-丙二醇时空收率.然而在该温和条件下,催化产物仍然以过度氢解的产物正丙醇为主.一般来讲,引入助剂可以通过改变活性组分的电子结构、覆盖不利反应位点、调变载体表面化学性质等来改变催化剂的催化活性、选择性和稳定性.我们以单原子/准单原子催化剂Pt/WOx和担载型催化剂Pt/WOx/Al2O3为催化剂母体,引入过渡金属和贵金属助剂,考察助剂对氢解反应活性和选择性的影响,并对比有无氧化铝载体时助剂对反应活性的影响.对于Pt/WOx体系,La和Fe的引入有助于甘油转化率和1,3-丙二醇选择性的提高,同时也明显地提高了催化剂的稳定性.其中0.1％ La是最佳引入量.然而,对于担载型催化剂Pt/WOx/Al2O3,La的引入在提高1,3-丙二醇选择性的同时,甘油的转化率也有一定程度下降.但由于Pt/WOx/Al2O3催化剂的本征活性较高,通过加入助剂提高1,3-丙二醇的选择性在实际应用中更为重要.表征分析表明,无论对于Pt/WOx还是Pt/WOx/Al2O3催化剂,大部分的La都在Pt颗粒上;同时La的引入提高了催化剂的酸量.在贵金属助剂中,Ru,Ir改性的Pt/WOx和Pt/WOx/Al2O3催化剂上,1,3-丙二醇的收率均有所降低,Ru助剂的降低幅度较小.相反,助剂Rh对Pt/WOx和Pt/WOx/Al2O3催化剂上反应性能的影响截然不同:Rh/Pt/WOx催化剂上1,3-丙二醇的收率从13.1％降到8.7％,Rh/Pt/WOx/Al2O3的1,3-丙二醇收率从31.5％略升到32.4％.另外,由于前期研究表明助剂铝的担载顺序对催化活性有重要影响,因此我们对铂、钨、铝的担载顺序进行了考察.研究表明,在活性组分铂上担载铝或钨物种对催化活性有一定程度的抑制;催化剂体系中钨的含量直接影响甘油的转化率和产物的选择性;含量过少时,甘油转化率极低并以1,2-丙二醇为主要产物.虽然大部分助剂对铂-钨催化剂体系没有明显的促进作用,但是助剂的添加通常可以抑制活性组分的烧结、提高催化剂的稳定性;因此,我们筛选出的La,Fe,Re,Ru,Rh等助剂仍具有深入研究的价值和工业应用的潜力.

α-Amino acid derived enaminones and their application in the synthesis of N-protected methyl 5-substituted-4-hydroxypyrrole-3-carboxylates and other heterocycles

A new and simple synthesis of novel N-protected methyl 5-substituted-4-hydroxypyrrole-3-carboxylates, which exist in equilibrium with their 4-oxo tautomers, has been developed in two steps starting from N-protected α-amino acids. The key intermediates are enaminones, which can also be isolated, characterized, and used for the construction of other functionalized heterocycles, before they spontaneously decompose to pyrrole products. 4-Hydroxypyrroles are prone to partial aerial oxidation but can be efficiently alkylated or reduced to stable polysubstituted pyrrolidine derivatives.     

Specific intramolecular aromatic CH insertion of diazosulfonamides

The chemoselectivity in the intramolecular CH insertion of various diazosulfonamides has been experimentally studied. The results reveal that the aliphatic 1,4-, 1,5-, or 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions of diazosulfonamides are not accessible, while the aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H insertion can be realized specifically by adjusting the diazo-adjacent group. In addition, the general chemoselectivities in the intramolecular CH insertions of diazosulfonyl compounds are summarized. Generally, diazosulfones undergo both aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H and aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions, while diazosulfonates undergo aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions. However, diazosulfonamides only undergo aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H insertion.

Understanding the Diels-Alder reactivity of 1,2-azaborine analogues

The Diels-Alder reactivity of 1,2-heteroborines (H₄C₄B(H)X, X?=?NH, PH, AsH; O, S, Se) has been computationally explored by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The influence of the HB?=?X fragment on the reactivity of the system has been quantitatively analyzed in detail by means of the so-called Activation Strain Model (ASM) of reactivity. It is found that the interaction between these species and the dienophile is significantly stronger than that computed for their all-carbon isoelectronic counterpart, benzene. In addition, the strain energy plays a key role in the observed reactivity trends. The role of the aromaticity strength of these heteroarenes on the reactivity is also assessed.     

Synthesis of N-substituted carbazolones from α-iodo enaminones via Pd(0)-catalyzed intramolecular coupling under microwave irradiation

A variety of N-aryl and N-alkyl carbazolones were conveniently achieved in good to high yields via Pd₂(dba)₃-mediated intramolecular coupling of N-substituted α-iodo enaminones under microwave irradiation. The Pd(0)-catalyzed cyclization was found to proceed favorably with the more electron-deficient phenyl ring during the reactions involving unsymmetrical N,N-diaryl α-iodo enaminones. This unique property enables the construction of carbazolone skeleton containing nitro substituted benzenoid ring.     

Iodine-mediated oxidative Pictet-Spengler reaction using terminal alkyne as the 2-oxoaldehyde surrogate for the synthesis of 1-aroyl-β-carbolines and fused-nitrogen heterocycles

An efficient iodine-mediated oxidative Pictet-Spengler reaction in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) using terminal alkynes as the 2-oxoaldehyde surrogate for the synthesis of aryl (9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-yl)methanones is described. The scope of the protocol includes the total synthesis of Fascaplysin, Eudistomins Y₁ and Y₂. The methodology is extended for preparing pyrrolo[1,2-a]-quinoxaline and indolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline derivatives. The utility of 1-aroyl-β-carbolines was demonstrated by performing palladium-catalyzed β-carboline directed ortho-C(sp2)-H functionalization of the phenyl ring with thiomethyl (SMe) group using DMSO as source and for accessing 4-aryl-canthin-6-ones.     

Facile synthesis of bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-ones

In this Letter, we described a facile method for constructing fused bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-one ring system. We employed various methylene-containing carboxylic acids as the substrates and proved that the pyrazolone ring closure requires activated methylene group in intermediate II. Accordingly, a series of structurally diversified, fused bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-ones was prepared in moderate to high yields using the requisite substrates.

This cyclization has been extended to more versatile 3-bromo derivatives by the use of alkynylbromides as dipolarophiles.
