Production of propylene from an unconventional metathesis of ethylene and 2-pentene over Re2O7/SiO2-Al2O3 catalysts

An unconventional metathesis of ethylene and 2-pentene over Re2O7/SiO2-Al2O3 catalysts has been studied as an alternative route for the production of propylene. Complete conversion of 2-pentene and propylene yield as high as 88 wt% were obtained under mild reaction conditions at 35°C and atmospheric pressure. Unlike the conventional metathesis of ethylene and 2-butenes in which isomerization is a competing side reaction, the isomerization of 1-butene product from the unconventional metathesis of ethylene and 2-pentene to 2-butenes can further react with excess ethylene in the feed, resulting in additional increase in propylene yield. The secondary metathesis reaction was found to be favored under ethylene/2-pentene (E/2P) molar ratio 3 and gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) 1000 h-1 at the reaction temperature of 35°C. No catalyst deactivation was observed during the 455 min time-on-stream under the selected reaction conditions.     

Ni/γ-Al2O3催化剂上萘加氢生成十氢萘的催化反应研究

采用Ni/Al₂O₃催化剂,在高压固定床反应器中考察了反应温度、压力、空速和氢油体积比比等因素对萘饱和加氢反应行为的影响,尤其是反应条件对反式十氢萘和顺式十氢萘选择性的影响。研究表明,反式十氢萘和顺式十氢萘的选择性与反应操作条件密切相关;反式十氢萘与顺式十氢萘的比例随着氢油比和温度的升高而增加,而随着压力和空速的增加而减小。在反应温度260-290℃、反应压力为5-7 MPa、空速为1-1.5 h^-1及氢油体积比大于250时,十氢萘的选择性最高可达99%以上,萘的转化率接近100%,产物中反式和顺式十氢萘的比例最高,可达4.0左右。对Ni/γ-Al₂O₃催化剂稳定性进行了考察,初步发现催化活性组分的烧结或流失是催化剂失活和影响产物中反式十氢萘和顺式十氢萘比例的主要原因。     

Elucidation of inhibitors in the dimerization of acrylonitrile using [RuCl2(DMSO)4/CH3CH2COONa/DMSO/o-benzoylbenzoic acid] as catalyst

A study of inhibitors in the dimerization of acrylonitrile using the novel catalytic system of [RuCl₂(DMSO)₄/CH₃CH₂COONa/DMSO/o-benzoylbenzoic acid] was carried out by examining the effect of reaction products on the catalytic activity. 1,4-Dicyanobuta-1,3-diene (3), one of the linear dimer products of acrylonitrile, inhibited the Ru-catalyzed reaction. Methylthiomethyl o-benzoylbenzoate (8), a by-product which was produced from carboxylic acid and DMSO under the reaction conditions, also acted as an inhibitor.     

Selective cleavage of allyl and propargyl ethers to alcohols catalyzed by Ti(O-i-Pr)4/MXn/Mg

[reaction: see text] Allyl and propargyl ethers were effectively deallylated or depropargylated to the parent alcohols via a C-O bond cleavage catalyzed by a low-valent titanium reagent (LVT), Ti(O-i-Pr)4/TMSCl/Mg or Ti(O-i-Pr)4/MgBr2/Mg, under mild reaction conditions. Differentiation between the allyl and propargyl ethers was achieved by the reaction in the presence of AcOEt as an additive. The reagent also catalyzed intra- and intermolecular cyclotrimerization reactions of alkynes to substituted benzenes.

Elaboration of the ether cleaving ability and selectivity of the classical Pearlman's catalyst [Pd(OH)2/C]: concise synthesis of a precursor for a myo-inositol pyrophosphate

The cleavage of propargyl, allyl, benzyl, and PMB ethers by Pd(OH)₂/C can be tuned in that order, by varying the reaction conditions. Other moieties such as C-C double bonds, esters, trityl ether, p-bromo and p-nitrobenzyl ethers are stable to these reaction conditions. Cleavage of allyl ethers can be made catalytic by using 1:1 mixture of Pd(OH)₂/C and Pd/C. The synthetic potential of the selective ether cleaving ability of Pd(OH)₂/C, essentially under neutral conditions, has been demonstrated by an efficient synthesis of a precursor for the preparation of an inositol pyrophosphate derivative.     

Influence of the radical size on the Ca + ROH → CaOH + R (R=CH3, C2H5 and C3H7) reaction cross section

Absolute values of the reaction cross section, σ_R, for the title reaction family have been measured by chemiluminescence emission under beam-gas conditions. The σ_R values diminish as the radical group R increases in size, showing an important overall steric effect. These results are discussed in the light of simple models for reaction stereodynamics.     

Studies on NaI/DMSO induced retro -Michael addition (RMA) reactions on some 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds

Studies on the reaction of some 1,5-ketodiesters/1,5-diketones with NaX (X = Cl/Br/I)/DMSO have shown that under microwave/thermal conditions, facileretro-Michael addition (RMA) reaction takes place instead of formation of the expected Krapcho products. Mechanistic studies have shown that the NaI/DMSO system is a better system than NaCl/DMSO or NaBr/DMSO to promote the RMA pathway and DMSO is an essential requirement. The electrophilic halide ion could be involved in this fragmentation reaction.     

Grignard Reagent/CuI/LiCl‐Mediated Stereoselective Cascade Addition/Cyclization of Diynes: A Novel Pathway for the Construction of 1‐Methyleneindene Derivatives

Diynes containing a cyclopropane group smoothly undergo a novel intramolecular and stereoselective cascade addition/cyclization reaction to produce the corresponding 1‐methyleneindene derivatives in moderate to good yields. This interesting transformation is mediated by Grignard reagent/CuI with LiCl as an additive under mild conditions. The obtained product can easily be further functionalized through cyclopropyl ring opening. A plausible reaction mechanism has also been presented on the basis of deuterium labeling and control experiments.     

Kinetic studies of the oxidative coupling of methane over the Mn/Na2WO4/SiO2 catalyst

Oxidative coupling of methane is a direct way to obtain C2 hydrocarbon,and Mn-Na-W/SiO2 catalyst is the most promising among all the catalysts.The 2%Mn/5%Na2WO4/SiO2 catalyst was prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method.A 7-step heterogeneous reaction model of the oxidative coupling of methane to C2 hydrocarbons was conducted by co-feeding methane and oxygen at a total pressure of 1 bar over the catalyst.The kinetic measurements were carried out in a micro-catalytic fixed bed reactor.The kinetic data were obtained at the appropriate range of reaction conditions (4 kPa＜Po2 ＜20 kPa,20 kPa＜PCZH4 ＜80 kPa,800℃＜T＜900℃).The proposed reaction kinetic scheme consists of three primary and four consecutive reaction steps.The conversions of hydrocarbons and carbon oxides were evaluated by applying Langrnuir-Hinshelwood type rate equations.Power-law rate equation was applied only for the water-gas shift reaction.In addition,the effects of operating conditions on the reaction rate were studied.The proposed kinetic model can predict the conversion of methane and oxygen as well as the yield of C2 hydrocarbons and carbon oxides with an average accuracy of ±15%.     

A study of the reactions during formation of c-Ni2P4O12

The reaction course of the calcination of Ni(H₂PO₄)₂-2H₂O to give nickel cyclo-tetraphosphate has been studied by thermogravimetry under quasi-isothermal-isobaric conditions. Isothermal calcination was also carried out in an electric furnace at various temperatures for 20 min. The reaction products were analysed by chromatography, IR and NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The compositions of the calcinates were determined through extraction with various inorganic and organic solvents. It was found that the water-vapour pressure has a great influence on the course of these condensation reactions, as well as on the temperature and velocity of the reactions, and on their results. Depending on the vapour pressure, there is a partial splitting of the first condensation product, the dihydrogendiphosphate.     

Semiempirical molecular dynamics studies of C60/C70 fullerene oxides: C60O, C60O2 and C70O

The spectral analysis indicates that all isomers of C₆₀O, C₇₀O and C₆₀O₂ have an epoxide-like structure (an oxygen atom bridging across a C–C bond). According to the geometrical structure analysis, there are two isomers of fullerene monoxide C₆₀O (the 5,6 bond and the 6,6 bond), eight isomers of fullerene monoxide C₇₀O and eight isomers of fullerene dioxide C₆₀O₂. In order to simulate the real reaction conditions at 300 K, the calculation of the different isomers of C₆₀O, C₆₀O₂ and C₇₀O fullerene oxides was carried out using the semiempirical molecular dynamics method with two different approaches: (a) consideration of the geometries and thermodynamic stabilities, and (b) consideration of the ozonolysis mechanism. According to the semiempirical molecular dynamic calculation analysis, the probable product of this ozonolysis reaction is C₆₀O with oxygen bridging over the 6–6 bond (C_2v). The most probable product in this reaction contains oxygen bridging across in the upper part of C₇₀ (6–6 bond in C₇₀O-2 or C₇₀O-4) an epoxide-like structure. C₆₀O₂-1, C₆₀O₂-3 and C₆₀O₂-5 are the most probable products for the fullerene dioxides. All of these reaction products are consistent with the experimental results. It is confirmed that the calculation results with the semiempirical molecular dynamics method are close to the experimental work. The semiempirical molecular dynamics method can offer both the reaction temperature effect by molecular dynamics and electronic structure, dipole moment by quantum chemistry calculation.     

Iron‐catalyzed one‐pot oxidation/Knoevenagel condensation reaction using air as an oxidant

A green and highly efficient iron‐catalyzed one‐pot oxidation/Knoevenagel tandem reaction for the synthesis of α, β‐unsaturated nitriles from secondary alcohols and malononitrile has been achieved. The reaction performed under mild conditions with air as an oxidant, and provided the corresponding oxidation/Knoevenagel prudocts in good to excellent yields within short times avoiding the use of noble metal catalysts and bases. Remarkably, water is the only byproduct in this methodology. The reaction could be performed on a gram scale under the standard reaction conditions.

Nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of amorphous Te51.3As45.7Cu3

The structure and kinetics of the crystallization reaction of amorphous Te_51.3As_45.7Cu₃ were studied under nonisothermal conditions using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Two exothermic changes were reported. Five isoconversional methods, of Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS), Flynn–Wall–Ozawa (FWO), Tang, Starink, and Vyazovkin, were used to determine the variation of the activation energy for crystallization with temperature, E(T). The results show that the activation energy for crystallization associated with the first peak first decreases with increasing temperature and then increases. Different behaviour was observed for the second peak, where an increase of E with temperature followed by a decrease. The effect of heating rate on the reaction model, g(), was also different for the two crystallization peaks.
