Cyanuric chloride: decent dehydrating agent for an exclusive and efficient synthesis of kinetically controlled isomaleimides

Starting from maleanilic and maleamic acids, a facile general approach to kinetically controlled isomaleimides has been described for the first time using cyanuric chloride as a dehydrating agent with 85-98% yields. The effect of a variety of substituents present on the aromatic ring in amine and maleic anhydride moiety, on these kinetic/thermodynamic dehydration processes of anilic acids has been also described. Under the same set of reaction conditions the phthalanilic acid gave kinetically controlled product, isophtalimide in 91% yield, while the corresponding succinanilic acid furnished the thermodynamically more stable succinimide in high yield.     

立规聚甲基丙烯酸热表征研究

本文对不同立构的聚甲基丙烯酸(PMAA)进行了热表征。实验结果表明,在30℃～200℃内未出现玻璃化转变。间同PMAA分别在-245℃和-280℃发生脱水反应和脱羧,而全同PMAA只在-185℃观察到脱水反应。这种热稳定性的明显差别与不同立构PMAA链上相邻羧酸距离有关。实验数据证实PMAA脱水反应为无规反应,服从一级动力学反应方程。脱水温度和间同立构含量成正比,脱水反应活化能间同PMAA比全同PMAA高～7Kcal/mol。     

Highly efficient Beckmann rearrangement and dehydration of oximes

Under mild conditions, Beckmann rearrangement of a variety of ketoximes could proceed in the presence of chlorosulfonic acid using toluene as a solvent with excellent conversion and selectivity. This procedure could also be applied in the dehydration of aldoximes for obtaining the corresponding nitriles.     

Synthesis and characterisation of TlLn(SO4)2·xH2O (Ln=La-Tb)

The compounds TlLn(SO₄)₂·2H₂OLn=La, Ce, Pr, Nd and Tl[Ln(SO₄)₂(H₂O)₃]·H₂OLn=Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb have been isolated from aqueous solutions of the corresponding sulfates. The dihydrates are all isomorphous and crystallize monoclinic, space groupP2₁/n,Z=4. The compounds which belong to the second type are also isomorphous and crystallize in monoclinic space groupP 2₁/c withZ=4.The dehydration has been studied by thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry and isothermal weight change determination. The dihydrates dehydrate in a single step. For the tetrahydrates the reaction is more complex, however no intermediate phases could be isolated.The unit cell parameters, the dehydration temperatures and the dehydration enthalpies are correlated to the ionic radii ofLn ³⁺.

Die Verbindungen des zweiten Typs sind auch isomorph und kristallisieren in der monoklinen RaumgruppeP 2₁/c mitZ=4.Die Dehydration wurde mit TG, DSC und dem isothermalen Gewichtsverlust untersucht. Die Entwässerung der Dihydrate verläuft in einer Stufe, die von Tetrahydraten aber in mehreren Stufen mit keiner isolierbaren Zwischenphase.Die Gitterkonstanten, die Dehydratations-Temperaturen und -Enthalpien wurden mit den Ionenradien vonLn ³⁺ korreliert.

     

A novel composite chitosan membrane for the separation of alcohol-water mixtures

A novel alcohol dehydration membrane with a three layer structure has been prepared. The top layer is a thin dense film of chitosan (CS), and the support layer is made of microporous polyacrylonitrile (PAN). Between the dense and microporous layer, there is an intermolecular cross-linking layer. This novel composite membrane has a high separation factor of more than 8000 and a good permeation rate of 0.26 kg/m² h for the pervaporation of 90 wt% ethanol aqueous solution at 60°C, 0.8 kg/m² h flux for a n-PrOH/water system and around 1 kg/m² h flux for an i-PrOH/water system using 80 wt% alcohol concentration at 60°C. The separation factor for both cases is more than 10⁵. The separation performance varies with feed composition, operating temperature and conditions of membrane preparation. The results show that the separation factor and flux of this membrane increase with raising the operating temperature. At the same time, the crosslinking layer improves durability of the composite membrane, and the pervaporation performance can be adjusted by changing the structure of the cross-linking layer. The cross section of the composite membrane has been examined by SEM.     

Conservation of [(C2H4NH3)3N]2·(ZrF7)2·H2O layers during the topotactic dehydration of [(C2H4NH3)3N]2·(ZrF7)2·9H2O

Tren amine cations [(C₂H₄NH₃)₃N]³⁺ and zirconate or tantalate anions adopt a ternary symmetry in two hydrates, [H₃tren]₂·(ZrF₇)₂·9H₂O and [H₃tren]₆·(ZrF₇)₂·(TaOF₆)₄·3H₂O, which crystallise in R32 space group with a_H = 8.871 (2) Å, c_H = 38.16 (1) Å and a_H = 8.758 (2) Å, c_H = 30.112 (9) Å, respectively. Similar [H₃tren]₂·(MX₇)₂·H₂O (M = Zr, Ta; X = F, O) sheets are found in both structures; they are separated by a water layer (O_w(2)-O_w(3)) in [H₃tren]₂·(ZrF₇)₂·9H₂O. Dehydration of [H₃tren]₂·(ZrF₇)₂·9H₂O starts at room temperature and ends at 90 °C to give [H₃tren]₂·(ZrF₇)₂·H₂O. [H₃tren]₂·(ZrF₇)₂·H₂O layers remain probably unchanged during this dehydration and the existence of one intermediate [H₃tren]₂·(ZrF₇)₂·3H₂O hydrate is assumed. O_w(1) molecules are tightly hydrogen bonded with -NH₃⁺ groups and decomposition of [H₃tren]₂·(ZrF₇)₂·H₂O occurs from 210 °C to 500 °C to give successively [H₃tren]₂·(ZrF₆)·(Zr₂F₁₂) (285 °C), an intermediate unknown phase (320 °C) and ZrF₄.
