Unexpected deprotection of silyl and THP ethers induced by serious disparity in the quality of Pd/C catalysts and elucidation of the mechanism

Commercial Pd/C catalysts show different catalytic activity toward the deprotection of silyl and THP ethers. The Pd/C purchased from Merck and ACROS exhibits marked tendency to cleave these protective groups unexpectedly without hydrogen conditions although Aldrich's Pd/C (20,569-9) is inactive in the absence of hydrogen. It was proved that the Pd/C disparity toward the deprotection of TES and THP ethers results from residual acids and/or palladium chloride in the production process of Pd/Cs. Although a TES ether cleavage reaction in the absence of hydrogen and a THP ether cleavage reaction in the presence of hydrogen using 10% Pd/C were recently published, we could conclude they were only an acid-catalyzed solvolysis, the acid being released from the catalyst. Hydrogen is essential for the actual 10% Pd/C-catalyzed cleavage of TES ethers and THP ethers which must be stable under the true Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation conditions.     

Ni基催化剂上木质素模型化合物苯基苯乙醚C-O键的加氢裂解

Solvent-modulated Pd/C-catalyzed deprotection of silyl ethers and chemoselective hydrogenation

Recently we have reported undesirable and frequent deprotection of the TBDMS protective group of a variety of hydroxyl functions occurred under neutral and mild hydrogenation conditions using 10% Pd/C in MeOH. The deprotection of silyl ethers is susceptible to significant solvent effect. TBDMS and TES protecting groups were selectively cleaved in the presence of acid-sensitive functional groups such as TIPS ether, TBDPS ether and dimethyl acetal under hydrogenation condition using 10% Pd/C in MeOH. In contrast, chemoselective hydrogenation of reducible functional groups such as acetylene, olefin and benzyl ether, proceeds in the presence of TBDMS or TES ethers in AcOEt or MeCN.

This method allows selective removal of alkyl TES ethers in the presence of aromatic TES ethers or tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBS) protecting groups.     

Synthesis of liquid hydrocarbons enriched with triptane via dimethyl ether conversion over combined catalyst

A combined catalytic system composed of catalysts with different functions was prepared.

In the presence of the combined system, liquid branched hydrocarbons were synthesized from dimethyl ether in a hydrogen medium at 340 °C and a pressure of 10 MPa. The effect of the composition of the combined catalyst on its selectivity to liquid hydrocarbons and, specifically, triptane was shown.

Development of sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) electrolyte membrane for applications in hydrogen sensor

The future economy is projected as hydrogen economy and fuel cells are set to become the energy source either replacing or augmenting the present oil based technology. A sulfonated poly ether ether ketone (SPEEK) membrane as the electrolyte for hydrogen sensor that operates at room temperature was developed in our lab. The electrolyte used was SPEEK, which is a proton conducting solid polymer membrane. The membranes were characterized using various available techniques like TGA, XRD, SEM, etc. The durability was studied using the Fenton’s reagent. The proton conducting ability was analyzed using impedance spectroscopy. The catalysts considered were platinum for the cathode and three different catalysts (Pt, Pt/Pd and Pd) for the anode. The MEAs were evaluated for their performance in hydrogen sensor and the one with platinum catalyst at the anode gave the best response among the three indicating its suitability for the SPEEK membrane for hydrogen sensor.

浸渍法制备硅钨酸修饰的炭载钯催化剂电催化甲酸氧化

用浸渍的方法制备了硅钨酸（SiWA）修饰的炭载Pd(Pd/C-SiWA)催化剂。 计时电流曲线研究表明,在Pd/C和Pd/C-SiWA催化剂电极上,3000 s时的电流密度分别为0.013和0.082 A/mg,分别为10 s时电流密度的2.5%和14.1%。 结果表明,Pd/C-SiWA催化剂对甲酸氧化的电催化稳定性要远远优于Pd/C催化剂。 这是因为Pd/C催化剂上SiWA的修饰抑制了甲酸的自分解, 从而减小了CO的毒化作用,改进了Pd/C催化剂对甲酸氧化的电催化和稳定性。

Identification of surface states on finely divided supported palladium catalysts by means of inelastic incoherent neutron scattering

The purpose of the present investigation was to utilize the inelastic incoherent neutron scattering (INS) technique to reveal changes at the surface of technical catalysts under the influence of hydrogen in gas/solid interactions and during chemical reactions in a liquid-phase process. The formation and the properties of supported palladium hydride and changes of the hydrogen-related surface chemistry of the corresponding activated carbon supports in 20% Pd/C catalysts after short-term and long-term hydrogen cycling at different hydrogen pressures and temperatures were studied. The spectra indicate that hydrogenation of the activated carbon support by hydrogen spillover occurs to, partly, give a material that strongly resembles a-C:H (amorphous hydrogenated carbon). Indications for different relaxation phenomena and long-range phase coherence inside of supported particles of palladium hydride compared to hydrogenated palladium black were obtained. A 5% Pd/C catalyst after use in C-C coupling reactions, the Heck reaction of bromobenzene and styrene to stilbenes, was also studied after subsequent solvent extraction. Evidence for a preferential adsorption and accumulation of cis-stilbene at the catalyst surface was obtained. INS allows identification of a certain isomer from a complex reaction mixture preferentially adsorbed at the surface of a finely divided industrial heterogeneous catalyst.

聚苯胺对钯催化甲酸电氧化反应的促进作用

钯基纳米材料是甲酸电氧化反应的优良催化剂.本工作制备了两个系列钯基催化剂,并考察了聚苯胺对钯上甲酸电氧化反应的助催化作用.一种是以聚苯胺为基底,在其表面电沉积钯纳米粒子,制得nPANI/Pd催化剂(n表示聚合苯胺的循环数);另一种是直接在商业Pd/C催化剂表面电聚合苯胺,制得Pd/C/nPANI催化剂.结果显示,聚苯胺单独存在时对甲酸电氧化反应没有催化活性,但其可对钯上甲酸电氧化反应呈现明显的促进作用,且促进作用与聚苯胺的厚度(聚合循环数)密切相关.在两个系列催化剂中,15PANI/Pd和Pd/C/20PANI显示出最高的催化性能.15PANI/Pd中钯的质量比催化活性是纯钯催化剂的7.5倍; Pd/C/20PANI中钯的质量比催化活性和本征催化活性分别是商业Pd/C催化剂的2.3和3.3倍.钯催化性能的提升与聚苯胺和钯纳米粒子间的电子效应有关.

Solid Acid Catalysts: Modification of Acid Sites and Effect on Activity and Selectivity Tuning in Various Reactions

The effects of acidity and variation in concentration of acid sites of dodecatungstophosphoric acid (DTP), supported DTP and montmorillonite-K catalysts were studied for various organic reactions such as the hydroxyalkylation of phenols to bisphenols, intramolecular rearrangement of benzyl phenyl ether (BPE) to 2-benzyl phenol (2-BP) and selective cleavage of tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) ether into the corresponding alcohol. Both dodecatungstophosphoric acid (DTP) impregnated on silica (SiO₂) and montmorillonite catalysts showed the highest catalyst activity with 90–95% selectivity to bisphenol for the hydroxyalkylation of phenols to give bisphenol. Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD) of ammonia and activity results of various catalysts showed that an appropriate combination of both strong and weak acidic sites in the catalyst was highly desirable for high bisphenol selectivity. A 10% DTP/SiO₂ catalyst was found to be highly selective for the cleavage of TBDMS ether into the corresponding alcohol at room temperature giving a high TON of 9.5 × 10⁵ even after the 4th recycle. DTP was also found to be a promising solid acid catalyst for the intramolecular rearrangement of BPE giving 2-BP.
