Easily prepared DABCO-derived (1,4-diazobicyclo[2.2.2]octane) basic ionic liquids were developed for an efficient synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) via the transesterification of ethylene carbonate (EC) with methanol. 1-Butyl-4-azo-1-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane hydroxide ([C₄DABCO]OH) exhibited high catalytic activity and 81% DMC yield together with 90% EC conversion was obtained under mild reaction conditions. Notably, the catalyst could be recycled for four times without loss of catalytic activity. Moreover, a possible mechanism was also discussed.

Protic ionic liquids as recyclable solvents for the acid catalysed synthesis of diphenylmethyl thioethers

The acid catalysed formation of diphenylmethyl (DPM) thioethers was successfully achieved using the protic ionic liquid (pIL) triethylamine:methanesulfonic acid (TeaMs) as the reaction solvent under microwave irradiation. A slight excess of methanesulfonic acid (10% v/v) was required to facilitate the reaction, which was applied to a variety of thiols. Aliphatic, aromatic and heterocyclic aromatic thiols were converted to their corresponding DPM thioethers in high yields (63–99%), in short reaction times (5–20 min) and using mild temperatures (80–100 °C). Finally, the pIL (TeaMS) was recycled five times without loss of yield.

以Ca-M-Al(M=Mg,La,Ce,Y)层状双氢氧化物为前驱体的固体碱用于 酯交换合成碳酸二甲酯

碳酸二甲酯(DMC)是一种环境友好型绿色化学品,可作为甲基化和羰基化试剂用于取代传统剧毒的硫酸二甲酯和光气.另外,DMC具有良好的溶解性能,可用于高级溶剂;DMC分子中具有高的氧含量,可用作汽油添加剂来提高汽油的辛烷值;DMC还可用作聚碳酸酯的原料.随着人们环保意识的不断增强,DMC的生产和应用呈现出巨大的吸引力和市场潜力.DMC合成方法主要有光气法、甲醇氧化羰化法、尿素醇解法及酯交换法等.酯交换法具有反应条件温和、产率高等优点,是目前工业制备DMC的主要方法.研究发现,相对于酸性催化剂,碱性催化剂更有利于酯交换法合成DMC.金属氧化物催化剂具有活性高、热稳定性高及可连续重复回收利用等优点,因而引起了广泛关注.CaO对于酯交换合成DMC反应具有良好的催化活性,但其稳定性差.因此,通常采用复合金属氧化物来促进CaO的分散,并增加金属间相互作用以防止CaO流失.研究发现,经煅烧后的Mg-Al,Ca-Al和Ca-Mg-Al催化剂对于酯交换反应具有高的活性和稳定性.此外,通过碱性稀土金属(La,Ce和Y)的引入可以修饰催化剂上的碱性位点,从而调变催化剂的碱性.本文合成了一系列以Ca-M-Al(M=Mg,La,Ce,Y)层状双氢氧化物为前驱体的固体碱催化剂,将其用于甲醇与碳酸丙烯酯酯交换合成DMC.通过X射线衍射、热重分析、红外光谱、X射线光电子能谱、电感耦合等离子体、CO2程序升温脱附和Hammett指示剂对催化剂进行了表征.研究发现,各催化剂的活性高低依次为:Ca-Y-Al相似文献   

Synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from methanol and supercritical carbon dioxide

The synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from methanol and supercritical carbon dioxide over various base catalysts has been studied. Compounds of group-I elements (Li, Na and K) were used as base catalysts. The promoter and the dehydrating agent were also used to enhance the yield of DMC. The effects of the catalysts, promoter and dehydrating agent on the yield of DMC were investigated. By-products such as dimethyl ether (DME) and C₁–C₂ hydrocarbons were formed with the DMC as a main product. The yield of DMC with different alkali metal catalysts ranked in the following order: K > Na > Li. The catalysts of the metal-CO₃ compounds were more effective than the metal-OH compounds in DMC synthesis. The maximum DMC yield reached up to about 12 mol% in the presence of K₂CO₃ (catalyst), CH₃I (promoter) and 2,2-dimethoxypropane (dehydrating agent) at 130–140°C and 200 bar. The reaction mechanism of DMC synthesis from methanol and supercritical carbon dioxide was proposed.     

Ca-Al催化剂上甘油与碳酸二甲酯酯交换合成碳酸甘油酯

生物柴油是一种环保、可再生、使用安全、可替代石化柴油的新型液体燃料,其产量和使用范围正逐年扩大。然而生物柴油生产过程中的主要副产物甘油严重过剩,因此甘油资源化转化和利用已经成为近年研究热点。甘油可以作为一种平台化合物实现向多种高附加值化学品的转化,例如通过催化氢解合成1,2-丙二醇,通过发酵和催化氧化制备二羟基丙酮,通过脱水制备丙烯醛和羟基丙酮,通过酯交换反应生成甘油酯等。其中,以甘油为原料合成的碳酸甘油酯(GC)具有很好的工业应用前景。以碳酸二甲酯(DMC)为原料与甘油进行酯交换合成GC是近年内比较有工业发展潜力的合成路线。前期研究发现,固体碱对该反应具有很好的催化活性,而且随着催化剂碱性增强,甘油转化率明显增加,然而当催化剂(如NaOH, KOH和K2CO3等)碱性过强时,产物选择性明显降低。水滑石类化合物是一种常见的碱性温和的固体催化剂,而且其碱性与结构可以调节,因此我们选择了一种常见水滑石——水铝钙石作为本研究的重点。 本文通过共沉淀法制备了一系列不同Ca/Al比(1–6)的Ca-Al水滑石,并以此作为前驱体制备了新型的固体碱催化剂。 XRD结果表明,当Ca/Al比为1–6时,所有样品都出现了明显的水滑石特征衍射峰,但当铝含量过高时会出现氢氧化铝杂相。 SEM结果发现,当Ca/Al =2–4时,样品中水滑石的结晶度高,有较完整的水滑石晶片, Ca/Al =6的样品中水滑石晶片较小, Ca/Al =1的样品中有明显的无定形氧化铝杂相。 TG-DSC结果表明, Ca/Al =2的样品除了几个与水滑石相关的特征失重峰以外,在786oC还检测到明显的热吸收峰,说明此时钙铝石已经发生分解,生成了单独的Ca12Al14O33晶相和氧化钙,这与SEM结果一致。这些水滑石经焙烧后用于温和条件下催化甘油与DMC酯交换生成GC的反应,发现上述催化剂对该反应具有很高的催化活性和目的产物选择性。当DMC与甘油的摩尔比为3时,70oC反应3 h后,甘油转化率达到93%, GC选择性高于97%。表征结果显示,甘油转化率主要取决于焙烧后Ca-Al催化剂中强碱性中心数量。其中经800oC焙烧后Ca/Al =2的样品中强碱性中心数量最多,因而表现出最高的催化活性。焙烧后催化剂中形成的Ca12Al14O33晶相在多次重复使用后仍可以稳定存在,但是表面CaO易流失,可能会降低催化剂的重复使用活性。

Synthesis of dimethyl carbonate and propylene glycol from transesterification of propylene carbonate and methanol using quaternary ammonium salt catalysts

Summary The synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) was investigated through the transesterification of propylene carbonate (PC) with methanol using quaternary ammonium salt catalysts. The reaction was carried out in an autoclave at 120-140 oC under carbon dioxide pressure of 250-400 psig. The main by-product was propylene glycol. The quaternary salts of larger alkyl group and more nucleophilic counter anion exhibited higher catalytic activity. Kinetic studies were also performed to better understand the reaction mechanism. Quaternary ammonium chlorides immobilized on polystyrene supports were also tested for their possible uses as heterogeneous catalysts.     

An in situ infrared study of dimethyl carbonate synthesis from carbon dioxide and methanol over well-shaped CeO2

The mechanism of dimethyl carbonate(DMC) formation from CO_2 and methanol is investigated using three well-shaped CeO_2 catalysts, nanorod, nanocube and octahedron, which are packed with different crystal planes. In situ Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(FTIR) is employed to probe each reaction step in the DMC synthesis. The number of –OH groups and the species of CO_2 adsorptions on ceria surface have significant influence on the activity of ceria with different morphologies. Rod-ceria has favorable catalytic activity because of the large amount of –OH groups and the formation of bidentate carbonate species.     

Heterogeneous synthesis of glycerol carbonate from glycerol and dimethyl carbonate catalyzed by LiCl/CaO

In this article, a CaO-based catalyst was prepared by impregnating chloride salts on CaO to develop a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of glycerol carbonate (GC) from glycerol and dimethyl carbonate. LiCl/CaO exhibited a high catalytic activity under moderate reaction conditions. The effects of the LiCl loadings, the amount of catalyst and the calcination temperature on the catalytic activity were investigated. The highest yield of 94.19% glycerol carbonate was obtained at 65 °C on CaO loaded with 10% LiCl after 1 h, and the catalyst had high stability in reusing work. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET, CO₂-TPD, XPS and thermalgravity (TG) were used to characterize the prepared catalyst. It was found that the high catalytic activity of CaO after modification with LiCl is associated with the structural aspects and the amount of basicity of the catalyst. The Li₂O₂ species, which is a strong basic site that is formed by the substitution of the Ca²⁺ in CaO lattice by Li⁺, has great activity for transesterification.

Metal-organic frameworks MOF-808-X as highly efficient catalysts for direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from CO2 and methanol

A series of metal-organic frameworks MOF-808-X (6-connected) were synthesized by regulating the ZrOCl₂·8H₂O/1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (BTC) molar ratio (X) and tested for the direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from CO₂ and CH₃OH with 1,1,1-trimethoxymethane (TMM) as a dehydrating agent. The effect of the ZrOCl₂·8H₂O/BTC molar ratio on the physicochemical properties and catalytic performance of MOF-808-X was investigated. Results showed that a proper ZrOCl₂·8H₂O/BTC molar ratio during MOF-808-X synthesis was fairly important to reduce the redundant BTC or zirconium clusters trapped in the micropores of MOF-808-X. MOF-808-4, with almost no redundant BTC or zirconium clusters trapped in the micropores, exhibited the largest surface area, micropore size, and the number of acidic-basic sites, and consequently showed the best activity among all MOF-808-X, with the highest DMC yield of 21.5% under the optimal reaction conditions. Moreover, benefiting from the larger micropore size, MOF-808-4 outperformed our previously reported UiO-66-24 (12-connected), which had even more acidic-basic sites and larger surface area than MOF-808-4, mainly because the larger micropore size of MOF-808-4 provided higher accessibility for the reactant to the active sites located in the micropores. Furthermore, a possible reaction mechanism over MOF-808-4 was proposed based on the in situ FT-IR results. The effects of different reaction parameters on DMC formation and the reusability of MOF-808-X were also studied.     

Dimethyl carbonate synthesis via transesterification catalyzed by quaternary ammonium salt functionalized chitosan

A quaternary ammonium salt covalently linked to chitosan was first used as a catalyst for dimethyl carbonate （DMC） synthesis by the transesterification of propylene carbonate （PC） with methanol. The effects of various reaction variables like reaction time, temperature and pressure on the catalytic performance were also investigated. 54% DMC yield and 71% PC conversion were obtained under the optimal reaction conditions. Notably, the catalyst was able to be reused with retention of high catalytic activity and selectivity. Consequently, the process presented here has great potential for industrial application due to its advantages such as stability, easy preparation from renewable biopolymer, and simple separation from products.     

Critical temperatures and pressures of reacting mixture in synthesis of dimethyl carbonate with methanol and carbon dioxide

Critical temperatures and pressures of nominal reacting mixture in synthesis of dimethyl carbonate （DMC） from methanol and carbon dioxide （quaternary mixture of carbon dioxide ＋ methanol ＋ water ＋ DMC） were measured using a high-pressure view cell. The results suggested that the critical properties of the reacting mixture depended on the reaction extent as well as its initial composition （initial ratio of carbon dioxide to methanol）. Such information is essential for determining the reaction conditions when one intends to carry out the synthesis of DMC with CO2 and methanol under supercritical conditions.     

Enhancements of dimethyl carbonate synthesis from methanol and carbon dioxide: The in situ hydrolysis of 2-cyanopyridine and crystal face effect of ceria

This paper describes the effect of the in situ hydrolysis of 2-cyanopyridine and its derivatives on the synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from CO₂ and methanol over CeO₂. 2-Cyanopyridine, with the highest electronic charge number of the carbon in the cyanogroup, is the most effective agent to accelerate the desired reaction by a decrease of water. CeO₂(110) planes are active for the hydrolysis of 2-cyanopyridine, further enhancing the DMC formation by in situ removal of water effectively. The DMC yield is improved drastically up to 378.5 mmol g cat^-1 from 12.8 mmol g cat^-1 with the in situ hydrolysis of 2-cyanopyridine over rod-CeO₂(110) catalyst.
