Microwave-assisted, efficient and regioselective Pd-catalyzed C-phenylation of halopyrimidines

We herein report that flash heating microwave irradiation is a helpful tool in the formation of arylpyrimidines from the corresponding halopyrimidines. The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of 2,4-di- and 2,4,5-trihalopyrimidines with phenylboronic acid under the above conditions are described. By use of the appropriate catalyst and the adequate halopyrimidine, good regioselectivity can be achieved in the 2-, 4-, or 5-positions of the heterocycle. In addition, we show that this methodology is ameneable for the stepwise preparation of mono-, di-, and triphenylpyrimidines.     

A polymer onium acting as phase-transfer catalyst in halogen-exchange fluorination promoted by microwave

A polymerized quaternary ammonium salt polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride, exhibiting high stability to heat and base, was prepared and applied as phase-transfer catalyst (PTC) in halogen-exchange (Halex) fluorination of chloronitrobenzenes to give excellent yields of corresponding fluoronitrobenzenes. Dimethyl sulfoxide was found to be the best solvent when microwave was applied as heating resource.

微波辐射促进ZnCl_2与Y分子筛固相反应的研究

采用XRD、IR和原子吸收光谱等手段对微波固相法制备的ZnCl2／Y催化剂进行了表征·微波辐射促进了ZnCl2在分子筛表面分散和固态离子交换，分散的ZnCl2可与分子筛表面氧原子发生较强的配住键合作用．当ZnCl2的负载量达到37．5％时，ZnCl2仍可完全分散于NaY分子筛表面，此时的固态离子交换度为84％．随着分子筛表面酸菌和区强度的增加，ZnCl2与分子筛的固态离子交换量减少．

Development of a novel laboratory scale high solids reactor for anaerobic digestion of processed municipal solid wastes for the production of methane

Economic evaluations of the capital costs for anaerobic digestion systems for gas production show that the reactor is a significant cost component. The successful application of high solids digestion of processed MSW (e.g., greater than 10% solids within the digester) would allow a decrease in reactor volume with maintenance of relatively high gas production rates. However, high solids slurries do not mix well in conventional stirred tank reactors. A horizontal shaft, hydraulically driven reactor was designed and fabricated to test the anaerobic digestion of high solids concentrations. Digester performance was evaluated as a function of experimental parameters such as nutrient requirements, feeding rates, pH control, and agitator design/ rotation speed; horsepower of mixing was also evaluated for the reactor. Several startup protocols were examined to obtain a biologically stable anaerobic fermentation at high solids levels.
