New coordination catalysts based on rare earth compounds for polymerization of 1-octene

The study of rare earth coordination catalysts for polymerization of 1-octene has been successfully carried out for the first time. Some features and kinetic behavior of polymerization of 1-octene by Nd(naph)₃–AIEt₃ catalyst system in tetrachloro-methane are described. The overall polymerization activation energy E_a measured was 74.5 kJ/mol and the rate equation could be expressed as R_p = k_p [Nd] [M] (k_p = 3.21 × 10^?3 L/mol s, at 50°C). The catalytic activity of various rare earth elements in Ln (naph)₃ and ligands in NdL₃ for the polymerization was compared. A 1-octene oligomer with double bonds was obtained. It is either a white or pale yellow waxy semi-solid. Its number-average molecular weight is about 10³ and the molecular weight distribution is less than 2.     

Norbornene polymerization using multinuclear nickel catalysts based on a polypropyleneimine dendrimer scaffold

Four multinuclear nickel complexes derived from generation 1 (G1) and generation 2 (G2) dendrimeric salicylaldimine ligands based poly(propyleneimine) dendrimer scaffolds of the type, DAB-(NH₂)_n (n = 4 or 8, DAB = diaminobutane) were evaluated as catalysts precursors in the polymerization of norbornene, using methylaluminoxane as co-catalyst. All four catalyst evaluated were found to be active for norbornene polymerization giving polymers with moderate to high molecular weights and low polydispersity indices. The polymerization results indicate that there is some sort of dendritic effect, in that the catalyst activity appears to be influenced by the dendrimer generation.

Polymerization of 1-octene and determination of markhouwink constants of poly(1-octene)

The polymerization of 1-octene initiated by methylalumoxane（MAO）-activated Ni（Ⅱ）-based-α-diimine complexes[（2,6-i-Pr）₂C₆H₃-DAB（An）]NiBr₂ was investigated.Using this catalyst,poly（1-octene）s with molecular weight between 100×10³ and 400×10³ and polydispersity（M_w/M_n） between 1.3 and 1.5 were synthesized successfully by varying reaction time at room temperature.The poly（1-octene）s were amorphous polymers and could be well soluble in tetrahydrofuran（THF）.After fractional precipitation,poly（1-octene）s with narrow molecular weight distributions（M_w/M_n≤1.12） were obtained.Their weight-average molecular weights were measured by gel permeation chromatography（GPC） in conjunction with online model BI-MwA multiangle laser light scattering（MALLS）,and their intrinsic viscosities were measured by Maron’s single-point method.The k and a values in Mark-Houwink equation[η]= KM^αin THF at 40℃were 0.089 mL/g and 0.61 respectively.     

Hydroformylation of alkenes employing rhodium(i) complexes and a phosphine oxide ligand

Following the facile synthesis of a novel phosphine oxide compound, (diphenylphosphinoyl)phenylmethanol (1), this compound was employed as a ligand in the rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of alkenes, with good conversions and regioselectivities. This ligand was partially resolved using an enzyme, and enantioselective hydroformylation was carried out with the addition of a rhodium(I) complex. The rhodium(I) complex containing ligand 1 was not isolated, although it was subjected to low-temperature NMR studies.     

The transient-chelating-group-controlled stereoselective Rh(i)-catalyzed silylative aminocarbonylation of 2-alkynylanilines: access to (Z)-3-(silylmethylene)indolin-2-ones

A new method involving mild acryl transient-chelating-group-controlled stereoselective Rh(i)-catalyzed silylative aminocarbonylation of 2-alkynylanilines with CO and silanes is presented for producing (Z)-3-(silylmethylene)indolin-2-ones. Upon using an acryl transient chelating group, 2-alkynylanilines undergo an unprecedented alkyne cis-silylrhodation followed by aminocarbonylation to assemble (Z)-3-(silylmethylene)indolin-2-ones. Mechanistic studies show that acryl transient chelating effects result in the key alkyne cis-silylrhodation process.

Transient-chelating-group-controlled stereoselective rhodium(I)-catalyzed silylative aminocarbonylation of 2- alkynylanilines with CO and silanes toward (Z)-3-(silylmethylene)indolin-2-ones is presented.     

Detection of the chemical warfare agents bis-(2-chloroethyl)ethylamine (HN-1) and tris-(2-chloroethyl)amine (HN-3) in air.

This paper describes the method development and validation for detection of the chemical warfare agents HN-1 and HN-3 in air using C8 solid-phase extraction disks followed by liquid desorption and analysis by gas chromatography. The method is contrasted to the standard approach which uses solid sorbent tubes followed by thermal desorption and analysis by gas chromatography.     

Hydroformylation of vinylsilanes with Rh(acac)(CO)2/tris(N-pyrrolyl)phosphine catalytic system

Rh(acac)(CO)₂ as catalyst precursor with a small excess of free N-pyrrolylphosphine ([P(NC₄H₄)₃]:[Rh] = 3–10) was found to be very active in hydroformylation of vinyltrisubstituted silanes at 80 °C and 10 atm CO/H₂ = 1. After 2 h the yields of aldehydes were 80 % (n/iso = 8) for vinyltrimethylsilane, 100 % (only n-isomer) for vinyldimethylphenylsilane and 95 % (n/iso = 5.5) for vinyltrimethoxysilane. The rate of hydroformylation of vinyltrimethylsilane is ca. three times higher than that of other vinylsilanes. 3,3-Dimethyl-1-butene undergoes hydroformylation much slower than vinyltrimethylsilane probably because of its high steric hindrance and the reaction produces 4,4-dimethylpentanal as the only product.     

Kinetics of polymerization of 1-octene with Mgcl2-supported Ticl4 catalysts

A number of TiCl₄ catalysts supported on MgCl₂ which was activated by the recrystallization method using different alcohols were prepared with ethyl benzoate or dibutyl phthalate as the internal electron donor. All the catalysts were characterized by BET, x-ray diffraction, and hydrolysis–GC analysis. Kinetics of polymerization of 1-octene was studied with three of the above catalysts (having different internal electron donors) activated by AlEt₃. The rate of polymerization increased linearly with increasing temperature, and catalyst and monomer concentrations. From the Arrhenius plot, the overall activation energies of polymerization were determined and the dependence of rate on the AlEt₃ concentration could be explained by the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. ¹³C-NMR was used to study the effect of internal electron donors on the % isotacticity of poly(1-octene). The catalytic activities of all the catalysts were compared in 1-octene polymerization. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
