Emerging Bottom‐Up Strategies for the Synthesis of Graphene Nanoribbons and Related Structures

The solution‐phase synthesis is one of the most promising strategies for the preparation of well‐defined graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) in large scale. To prepare high quality, defect‐free GNRs, cycloaromatization reactions need to be very efficient, proceed without side reaction and mild enough to accommodate the presence of various functional groups. In this Minireview, we present the latest synthetic approaches for the synthesis of GNRs and related structures, including alkyne benzannulation, photochemical cyclodehydrohalogenation, Mallory and Pd‐ and Ni‐catalyzed reactions.     

Reductive Aromatization of Quinols with B2pin2 as Deoxidizing Agent

We have demonstrated B₂pin₂ as superior deoxidizing agent for the reductive deoxygenation of quinol derivatives under basic conditions. A wide range of highly functionalized phenols were obtained in good yields including a complex drug molecule, which revealed the high functional group tolerance of this protocol.     

Carbazoles from the [4C+2C] Reaction of 2,3‐Allenols with Indoles

A mild and efficient method using readily available 1‐aryl‐2,3‐allenols and unprotected‐N indoles, Au⁺‐catalyzed cyclization, and aromatization to afford the final [4C+2C] products, carbazoles 4, with an excellent selectivity, is reported. The reaction demonstrates excellent regioselectivity and allows the N?H unit to undergo reactivity unprotected. A mechanism involving a spiropolycyclic intermediate has been proposed and synthetic application is also demonstrated.

A novel biomimetic synthesis of (S)-(−)-zearalenone: via macrocyclization and transannular aromatization

On heating, a hydroxy-keto-dioxinone underwent retro-Diels-Alder fragmentation and the resultant α,γ-diketo-ketene was efficiently trapped intramolecularly by a secondary alcohol to provide a macrocyclic triketo-lactone. Following ketal hydrolysis, transannular aromatization gave the resorcylate natural product, (S)-(−)-zearalenone.     

Methane non-oxidative aromatization on Mo/ZSM-5: Effect of adding triethoxyphenylsilanes into the synthesis system of ZSM-5

A series of ZSM-5 zeolites were synthesized by adding triethoxyphenylsilane (PTEOS) into the initial sol of the synthesis system. The samples were studied by XRD, SEM, N₂ adsorption-desorption and acid assessment of d₃-acetonitrile adsorption. Characterization results showed that the crystal size of the ZSM-5 zeolites could be adjusted in a certain range by introducing different contents of PTEOS. Besides, the resultant materials possess hierarchical porosity in addition to those micropores generated by the MFI channels. Moreover, supported Mo/ZSM-5 catalysts were prepared, and their catalytic performances were investigated in the methane non-oxidative aromatization. It was found that the Mo/ZSM-5 catalyst, bearing suitable crystal size and mesoporous characteristic showed relatively high shape-selectivity to benzene and high stability for the reaction of methane aromatization.     

Influence of catalyst binder on the acidity and activity/selectivity of Ga/H-ZSM-5 zeolite in propane aromatization

The acidity and initial and time-on-stream activity in propane aromatization (at 550°C, space velocity of 3100 cm³g⁻¹ _(zeolite)h⁻¹) of Ga-impregnated H-ZSM-5 zeolite without or with binders (50 wt%), such as silica, alumina and kaolin, have been investigated. Both the acidity and catalytic activity of the zeolite are influenced by the presence of binder in the catalyst, depending upon the binder. The influence is found to be lowest for alumina and highest for kaolin. Among the binders, alumina is the most preferred binder for the zeolite catalyst.     

金属氧化物和硅沉积改性 ZnO/SiO2/ZSM-5的甲醇择形芳构化反应催化研究

采用真空浸渍法对ZSM-5分子筛进行硅沉积和负载金属修饰,制备了复合改性的ZnO/SiO₂/ZSM-5催化剂,并将它应用于甲醇择形芳构化反应中。采用XRD、BET、NH₃-TPD、SEM、TEM等方法对制备的催化剂进行了物化表征。考察硅沉积次数和ZnO负载量对甲醇芳构化反应(MTA)中对二甲苯(PX)的选择性和收率的影响。结果表明,两次硅沉积改性并负载2.0%金属ZnO的ZSM-5分子筛具有较高的PX收率,在优化的反应温度420 ℃、反应压力0.2 MPa、甲醇空速WHSV为1.25 h^-1下,PX收率在28%以上。     

ZSM-5催化丙烯芳构化反应构效关系及反应特性

甲醇两步制芳烃反应中低碳烯烃芳构化反应稳定性优异,为分析其内在机制,制备了不同硅铝比（n_SiO2/n_Al2O3）及Zn负载量的ZSM-5催化剂,以丙烯芳构化为模型反应,分析ZSM-5表面酸性对低碳烯烃芳构化反应性能的影响规律,并探究反应微观特性。发现当硅铝比由150降至75时,增加的酸密度促进了烯烃氢转移芳构化过程,使芳烃选择性由31.0%增至34.4%,但丙烯直接参与的氢转移过程也被强化,使丙烷产物选择性由28.2%增至36.0%。引入Zn助剂可将部分Brønsted酸转变为Zn-Lewis酸,强化烯烃脱氢芳构化过程,使芳烃选择性进一步显著增加到62.4%。丙烯芳构化过程中芳烃烷基化深度比甲醇芳构化过程低,提升总芳烃选择性的同时,也明显抑制了难溶性积碳的形成,使反应稳定性明显提升。由此得出,甲醇两步制芳烃过程中甲醇制低碳烯烃过程对甲醇的预先消耗,抑制了低碳烯烃芳构化反应芳烃产物的深度烷基化,是该反应表现出优异稳定性的重要原因。     

SO42-/TiO2-ZrO2复合氧化物固体酸催化剂的长叶烯芳构化催化性能

本工作用溶胶-凝胶法制备不同组成的SO42-/TiO2-ZrO2复合氧化物固体酸催化剂,用微型催化反应评价结合X-射线粉末衍射(XRD)、孔结构/BET表面积测试和NH3-程序升温脱附(NH3-TPD)等表征了SO42-/TiO2-ZrO2复合氧化物固体酸催化剂结构、表面酸性和长叶烯芳构化催化性能。复合氧化物固体酸SO42-/TiO2-ZrO2催化剂具有优良的长叶烯芳构化催化性能,并且其芳构化催化性能与催化剂组成和表面酸性密切相关。随催化剂中nZr/(nZr+nTi)增加,催化剂表面中等强度的酸中心量增加,芳构化产物选择性和收率明显增加,在nZr/(nZr+nTi)=0.5时达极大值。随nZr/(nZr+nTi)进一步增加,不仅催化剂表面酸中心量减少、原料转化率明显下降,而且催化剂酸强度增强,导致芳构化产物选择性和收率下降。催化长叶烯芳构化的二元复合氧化物固体酸SO42-/TiO2-ZrO2催化剂适宜的组成为nZr/(nZr+nTi)=0.5。
