Binary mixture of p‐methylbenzaldehyde with polar and nonpolar solvents

In this work, a combined theoretical and experimental study of binary mixture of liquid p‐methylbenzaldehyde (PMBz) is reported using ab initio calculations as well as Raman and IR spectroscopies. The purpose of this study was twofold: firstly, to describe the interaction of PMBz in terms of bonding energies and preferred geometries; and secondly, to characterize the spectroscopic effects on the vibrational modes of PMBz in the binary mixture of different polar and nonpolar solvents. The three vibrational modes, namely, carbonyl stretching, ν(C CH₃) and aldehydic (C H) vibrations have been analyzed in all the three solvents in different concentrations. The dependence of Raman linewidth on the concentration of PMBz of these modes was also taken into account. By analyzing the peak position and linewidth of these modes, it is seen that the solute–solvent interaction is stronger in BuOH and 1,2 dichloroethane (DCE) because of the hydrogen‐bonding interaction between these molecules. The formation of C H···O hydrogen bonds in liquid p‐methylbenzaldehyde is also investigated by Gaussian fitting. The ab initio calculations suggest several possible dimer configurations.

超声间接电氧化合成三种甲基苯甲醛

以Mn(II)/Mn(III)为氧化还原媒质，间接电氧化合成了邻、间、对位甲基苯甲 醛。在电解和合成的过程中，分别施加了超声进行反应。实验结果表明，电解的电 流效率和邻甲基苯甲醛、间甲基苯甲醛的合成产率在超声的参与下有10%左右的提 高。优化了超声电解的条件，并探讨了超声与未超声时将二甲苯的三个异构体氧化 为相应醛的难易程度。
