The Stevens rearrangement of methylenedimethyloxonium ylide: A quantum chemical study

The conversion of methylenedimethyloxonium ylide to ethyl methyl ether was investigated by the semiempirical MNDO method. An activation energy of 51 kJ/mol suggests that this rearrangement is a possible elementary reaction in the well-known MTG process.

Thermal and photochemical stability of polystyrene and its blends with polyvinyl chloride

The influence of some irregularities in polystyrene (PS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) chains on their thermal stability was investigated. UV irradiation caused an increase in the content of these irregularities in the polymers. It was found that the presence of carbonyl groups and crosslinking of the polymer chains hamper the thermal dehydrochlorination of PVC and the total decomposition of both polymers. On the other hand, weak peroxy linkages (which facilitate degradation processes) and conjugated double bonds decrease the temperature of total decomposition of PS and PVC blends.

Zusammenfassung Es wurde der Einfluß von Unregmlmäßigkeiten in Polystyrol (PS)- und Polyvinylchlorid (PVC)-Ketten auf deren thermische Stabilität untersucht. UV-Bestrahlung verursacht ein Ansteigen des Gehaltes an Unregelmäßigkeiten in den Polymeren. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Gegenwart von Carbonylgruppen und Querverbindungen der Polymerketten die thermische Dehydrochlorierung von PVC und eine vollständige Zersetzung beider Polymere verhindern. Andererseits senken Peroxidverknüpfungen (die die Degradierungsvorgänge erleichtern) und konjugierte Doppelbindungen die Temperatur für eine vollständige Zersetzung von PS und PVC Gemischen.

A note on diffusion stabilized Pt/C oxidation catalysts: Absence of gas-liquid boundary deactivation results in relatively high efficiency (Pt/C oxidation catalysts; Part 6)

Deactivation of Pt/C aqueous phase oxidation catalysts may occur at the gas-liquid boundary. This feature explains the relatively high and stable activity of diffusion stabilized Pt/C catalysts in the oxidation of substrates with a low reactivity.

Hydrogen exchange in intramolecular cycloalkylation of phenylalkanols

Hydrogen exchange in intramolecular cycloalkylation of 2-methyl-4-phenyl-2-butanol (I) and 2-methyl-5-phenyl-2-pentanol (II) in the presence of 85% D₂SO₄ has been studied. The product 1,1-dimethylindane(III) is shown to contain deuterium in both aromatic ring and polymethylene fragment, whereas 1,1-dimethyltetralin (IV) contains deuterium only in the aromatic ring. A probable mechanism of the reaction is discussed.

Thermal properties of the clathrate compounds of binary cyanides

The stoichiometry of thermal decomposition of a particular group of clathrate compounds, of the type Cd(en)Pd(CN)₄·2G, with the same coordination component but different clathrate-enclosed components, was investigated. Irrespective of the experimental conditions, the liberation of the enclosed component G always proceeded in one step. Thermal investigation of the decomposition stoichiometry under identical experimental conditions showed that the temperature intervals in which the enclosed components are given off shift to lower temperatures in the order C₆H₅OH=> C₆H₆ > > C₄H₅N > C₄H₄S. Diffraction measurements indicated a considerable change in the structures of the original clathrate compounds after thermal release of the enclosed componentG.

Zusammenfassung Die Stöchiometrie der thermischen Zersetzung einer bestimmten Gruppe von Klathratverbindungen vom Typ Cd(en)Pd(CN)₄·2G mit der gleichen Koordinationskomponente und verschiedenen Klathrat-Einschlußkomponenten wurde in dieser Studie untersucht. Ungeachtet der Versuchsbedingungen vollzieht sich die Freisetzung der eingeschlossenen KomponenteG stets in einer Stufe. Die unter gleichen Versuchsbedingungen durchgeführte thermische Untersuchung der Zersetzungsstöchiometrie zeigte, daß die Temperaturbereiche, in denen die eingeschlossenen Komponenten freigesetzt werden in der Reihenfolge C₆H₅OH > C₆H₆ > C₄H₅N > C₄H₄S in Richtung der niedrigeren Temperaturwerte verschoben werden. Die Diffraktionsmessungen weisen darauf hin, daß eine beträchtliche Änderung der Struktur der ursprünglichen Klathratverbindung nach thermischer Freisetzung der eingeschlossenen KomponenteG sichtbar wird.

Résumé Dans cette étude on a établi la stoechiométrie de la décomposition thermique d'un groupe particulier de clathrates du type Cd(en)Pd(CN)₄·2G, avec le même composant de coordination et différents composants occlus. Indépendamment des conditions d'expériences, la libération du composant occlusG s'effectue toujours en une étape. L'étude thermique de la stoechiométrie de la décomposition effectuée dans les mêmes conditions d'expériences, a montré que les intervalles des températures dans lesquels les composants occlus sont libérés, se déplacent vers les températures plus faibles dans l'ordre suivant: C₆H₅OH > C₆H₆ > > C₄H₅N > C₄H₄S. Les mesures de diffraction indiquent qu'après la libération thermique du composant occlusG, une variation considérable de la structure initiale des clathrates originaux apparaît.

Kinetics of the acid catalyzed hydrolysis of hydroxamic acids

The acid catalyzed hydrolysis of some alkylhydroxamic acids has been studied spectrophotometrically in perchloric, hydrochloric and sulfuric acids. Plots of the first order rate constant, k_obs against H⁺ show maxima, which are caused by protonation of the substrate. The mechanism of hydrolysis is found to be similar to that of amides. The variation of reaction rate with acid concentration can be described by a two-parameter equation.

Studies of n-octane transformations on zeolites under hydrocracking conditions in a two-reactor flow-circulation system

Transformations of n-octane under hydrocracking conditions in a two-reactor flow-circulation system have been studied. It has been established that at high hydro-dehydrogenation activity of zeolite catalysts the reaction mechanism involves an initial step of paraffin dehydrogenation on a metal component and subsequent steps of cracking, isomerization and disproportionation of intermediate olefins on an acid component. Sodium content in zeolite determines the paraffin hydrocracking selectivity.

Isomerization-disproportionation of m-xylene over dealuminated mordenites

The isomerization-disproportionation of m-xylene has been investigated over a series of dealuminated mordenites characterized by Si/Al ratios varying from 5 to 15. Catalytic activity increases with the Si/Al ratio and correspondingly also the products of disproportionation. This behavior is interpreted in terms of increasing acid strength leading to a higher activity and selectivity to disproportionation through a common mechanism which involves both a parallel and a consecutive route.

On the catalytic system MgO?Na

Acid-base and radical properties of two sets of MgO–Na catalysts have been studied. The catalysts were prepared (I) by impregnation of MgO with NaOH in aqueous solution, and (II) by evaporation of metallic sodium onto a MgO surface. The catalyst prepared by the second method was much more basic than pure MgO (H_o=35) and showed a high activity in olefin isomerization.

Silane-silanol condensation catalyzed by organotin compounds

The rate of condensation of H–SiR₂–(OSiR₂)_n–H (n=2, 3 or 4 and R=CH₃) and HO-SiRR–(OSiRR)₃–OH (R=C₆H₅) in xylene at 100 °C, catalyzed by dibutyltin diacetate, dilaurate and di-(2-ethyl)hexanoate, has been studied by infrared spectroscopy. The kinetic law is first order in each reactant and the reaction is accompanied by autocondensation of the silanol. The mecha nism involves complexation of the silanol with the catalyst, followed by the attack of a silane or silanol molecule.
