Effect of the paste molding pressure on the mechanical strength of an iron oxide catalyst in the dehydrogenation of methylbutenes

The effect of the paste molding pressure on the physicomechanical and texture characteristics of catalysts was studied. An indirect criterion is suggested to evaluate the molding pressure in industrial extruders, whose optimal value ensures good physicomechanical properties of the catalysts and kinetic control over the catalyzed reaction. The results obtained were verified in paste molding on various industrial extruders, and this enabled the optimal choice of the molding equipment.     

Reaction of furan-2(3H)-ones with 1,2-binucleophiles

Reactions of 5-substituted furan-2(3H)-ones with ethylenediamine, 2-aminoethanol, and o-aminophenol do not stop at the stage of formation of the corresponding 4-oxoalkanoic acid amides but lead to new bi-and tricyclic structures as a result of double intramolecular cyclodehydration.

Imidazoline ring cleavage in 1,3,6,10-tetraazatetracyclo-[7.3.1.02,7.06,13]trideca-4, 11-dienes,leading to the formation of diquinoxalino[1,2-a∶2′,3′-d]pyrrole derivatives

Dibenzo[d,k]-1,3,6,10-tetraazatetracyclo[7.3.1.0^2,7.0^6,13]trideca-4,11-dienes undergo addition reactions at the C₍₂₎ carbon atom with alcohols and thiols, accompanied by cleavage of the C-N bond of the imidazoline ring, to generate diquinoxalino[1,2-a2,3-d]pyrrole derivatives.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 513–522, April, 1987.     

Research in the isoxazole series

The 4-nitro derivative is formed in the nitration of 3,5-diphenylisoxazole (I) in acetic anhydride. Mononitration of isoxazole I in concentrated H₂SO₄ gave 3-phenyl-5-(p-nitrophenyl)isoxazole, while polynitration gave a mixture of dinitro derivatives, among which 3- (m-nitro-phenyl)-5-(p-nitrophenyl)isoxazole was identified. The structures of the isolated products were established by means of the spectra, by reaction-chromatography methods, and gasliquid chromatography, as well as by a comparison with genuine samples of the two mononitro and four dinitro derivatives of isoxazole I.     

Dehydrogenation of methanol on low Cu and Re—Cu catalysts supported on sibunite

The activity and selectivity of mono- and bimetallic catalysts containing copper and rhenium on sibunite were studied in the decomposition of methanol to methyl formate (MF), water, H₂, CO, and CO₂at 200—400 °C. Methane is also formed on rhenium-containing catalysts at 300—400 °C. The dehydrogenating activity and selectivity to form MF are higher on the copper-sibunite catalysts than on the rhenium-sibunite samples. The introduction of 0.25% Re into the 4% copper-containing catalyst enhances its total activity and stability.     

Tetraphenylbismuth 2,4-Dimethylbenzenesulfonate: Synthesis and Structure

Tetraphenylbismuth 2,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonate was synthesized by reacting pentaphenylbismuth or bromine with diphenylbismuth 2,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonate and its structure was established using X-ray diffraction analysis. The Bi atom has a distorted trigonal bipyramidal coordination. The Bi–C bond lengths are equal to 2.199(4)–2.227(4) Å the Bi–O distance and axial CBiO angle are equal to 2.665(3) Å and 174.2(1)°, respectively.
