One-pot synthesis of N-allylthioureas using supported reagents

A simple and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of N-allylthioureas from allylic bromides in one-pot by using a supported reagents system, KSCN/SiO₂-RNH₃OAc/Al₂O₃, in which allyl bromide reacts first with KSCN/SiO₂ and the product, allyl isothiocyanate, reacts with RNH₃OAc/Al₂O₃ to give the final product, N-allylthiourea, in good yield.     

Characterization and evaluation of Fe2O3/Al2O3 oxygen carrier prepared by sol–gel combustion synthesis

The sol-gel combustion synthesis (SGCS) for oxygen carrier (OC) to be used in chemical looping combustion (CLC) was first designed and experimented in this work, which is a new method of OC synthesis by combining sol-gel technique and solution combustion synthesis. Cheap hydrated metal nitrates and urea were adopted as precursors to prepare Fe₂O₃/Al₂O₃ OC at the molar ratio to unity (Fe1Al1), which was characterized through various means, including Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffractor (XRD), and N₂ isothermal adsorption/desorption method. FTIR analysis on the chemical structure of the dried gel of Fe1Al1 indicated that urea was partly hydrolyzed and the hydrated basic carbonate was formed by the combination of groups such as (Fe(_1−yAl_y)_1−xO_1−3x, CO₃²⁻ and -OH-. By analyzing the staged products during SGCS, calcination was found as a necessary step to produce Fe₂O₃/Al₂O₃ OC with separate phases of α-Fe₂O₃ and α-Al₂O₃. Through TGA-DTA, the decomposition of the dried gel was found to undergo five stages. The analysis of the evolved gases from the gel decomposition using FTIR partially confirmed the staged decomposition and assisted a better understanding of the mechanism of SGCS. XRD identification further substantiated the necessity of calcination to synthesize Fe₂O₃/Al₂O₃ OC with separate phases of α-Fe₂O₃ and α-Al₂O₃, though it was not necessary for the synthesis of single phase α-Fe₂O₃ and α-Al₂O₃. Structural characterization performed on N₂ adsorption analyzer displayed that the pore shape of Fe1Al1 particles was heterogeneous. Finally, H₂ temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) of Fe1Al1 products in TGA indicated that the reduction reaction of Fe1Al1 OC after calcination was a single step reaction from α-Fe₂O₃ to Fe, and calcination benefited to improve the transfer rate of the lattice oxygen from the OC to fuel H₂. Furthermore, four times of reduction and oxidization (redox) reaction by alternating with H₂ and air demonstrated the synthesized OC had good reactivity and sintering-resistance, much suitable to be used in the realistic CLC. Overall, the SGCS method was found superior to other existent methods to prepare Fe₂O₃/Al₂O₃ OC for CLC application.     

One-pot synthesis of α-bromoesters and ketones from β-ketoesters and diketones using supported reagents system

A simple and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of α-bromoesters and ketones from β-ketoesters and diketones in one pot using a supported reagents system, CuBr₂/Al₂O₃-Na₂CO₃/Al₂O₃, in which β-ketoester reacts first with CuBr₂/Al₂O₃ and the product, α-bromo-β-ketoester, reacts with Na₂CO₃/Al₂O₃ to give the final product, α-bromoesters in good yields.

An expedient synthesis of indolo[1,2-a]quinolines via Mn(OAc)3-mediated oxidative free radical cyclization and NaI/O2-assisted dealkoxycarbonylation/aerobic oxidation cascade

An expedient synthetic procedure of indolo[1,2-a]quinolines was developed using a sequential Cu-mediated N-arylation of indole, Mn(OAc)₃-mediated oxidative free radical cyclization, and NaI/O₂-assisted concomitant dealkoxycarbonylation/aerobic oxidation. The last step was replaced by a palladium-catalyzed decarboxylation/elimination protocol for the allyl ester derivatives.

对不同硅铝比的MCM-22分子筛进行气相硅烷化处理,并采用X射线衍射、固体核磁、N₂吸附-脱附和甲苯吸附等技术对样品进行了表征. 结果显示,原料硅铝比为50~100的MCM-22分子筛均可以利用气相硅烷化,在不脱除骨架铝的基础上,将Si(OH)₂柱撑结构引入其层间超笼系统,从而使层间距增大,孔体积增加; 将密度泛函理论用于计算硅烷化前后的MCM-22分子筛的N₂吸附等温线,成功得到十元环孔道和超笼体系的比表面积和孔体积,发现气相硅烷化使MCM-22分子筛超笼体系的比表面积和孔体积增大,而十元环孔道减小.另外,气相硅烷化可有效提高不同硅铝比MCM-22分子筛的甲苯平衡吸附量.     

Infrared studies of the diatomic molecules O2, N2, NO and H2 adsorbed on Fe2O3

An infrared spectroscopic study of the diatomic molecules O₂, N₂, NO and H₂ adsorbed under different conditions on Fe₂O₃ has been performed.Complex patterns of absorption on both α-Fe₂O₃ and γ-Fe₂O₃ activated in O₂ at high temperature are assigned to vibrations of two different chemisorbed O₂ species.N₂ molecules do not interact with “oxygen rich” α-Fe₂O₃ surfaces, but give N₂O^? and N₂O₂^2? species when chemisorbed on evacuated surfaces.NO molecules give complex patterns of absorption, depending on the gas pressure. Three different types of nitrate structures can be identified, as well as NO, NO^? and cis-N₂O₂ chemisorbed species. Chemisorbed water molecules are formed by contact of H₂ with Fe₂O₃ surfaces even at room temperature.     

ZrO4/SiO2-Al2O3催化肉桂醛MPV转移加氢性能

以九水合硝酸铝（Al（NO₃）₃·9H₂O）与正硅酸乙酯（TEOS）为前驱盐,采用溶胶-凝胶法制备一系列不同Al₂O₃含量的SiO₂-Al₂O₃复合氧化物,并通过浸渍硝酸氧锆引入ZrO₂,制备ZrO₂/SiO₂-Al₂O₃复合氧化物催化剂,考察催化剂在肉桂醛（CAL）MPV转移加氢中的催化性能,并结合N₂物理吸附、X射线粉末衍射（XRD）、傅里叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）、NH₃-程度升温脱附（NH₃-TPD）、Py-原位红外（Py-IR）等技术,研究催化剂结构、织构以及表面性质与其催化性能间的构效关系.研究表明,所制备的催化剂均以L酸为主,并含有少量B酸中心,这使得加氢产物以肉桂醇（COL）为主,并含有少量1-苯丙烯-2-丙基醚（CPE）.Al₂O₃含量不仅影响催化剂表面的酸中心数量,而且对催化剂的织构参数有较大影响.随Al₂O₃含量的增加,催化剂表面L酸与B酸中心均有所增加,而孔径则持续变小,这使得催化反应呈现CAL转化率先增加后减少、目标产物COL选择性先稍有减小后有所增加的趋势.在Si/Al比为2时,催化剂具有最优的催化性能,优化反应条件下,CAL转化率达96%,目标产物COL选择性达90%.     

Structural changes resulting from doping Ti2O3 with Sc2O3 or Al2O3

The crystal structures of (Ti_1?xSc_x)₂O₃, x = 0.0038, 0.0109, and 0.0413, and of (Ti_0.99Al_0.01)₂O₃, have been determined from X-ray diffraction data collected from single crystals using an automated diffractometer, and have been refined to weighted residuals of 25–34. Cell constants have also been determined for x = 0.0005, 0.0019, and 0.0232. The compounds are rhombohedral, space group $\text{R}\text{3}\text{c}$, and are isomorphous with α-Al₂O₃. The hexagonal cell dimensions range from a = 5.1573(2)Å, c = 13.613(1)Å for (Ti_0.9995Sc_0.0005)₂O₃ to a = 5.1659(4)Å, c = 13.644(1)Å for (Ti_0.9587Sc_0.0413)₂O₃, and a = 5.1526(2)Å, c = 13.609(1)Å for (Ti_0.99Al_0.01)₂O₃. Sc and Al substitution cause similar increases in the short near-neighbor metal-metal distance across the shared octahedral face; for Sc doping the increase is from 2.578(1) Å in pure Ti₂O₃ to 2.597(1) Å in (Ti_0.9587Sc_0.0413)₂O₃. By contrast, changes in the metal-metal distance across the shared octahedral edge appear to be governed by ionic size effects. The distance increases from 2.994(1) Å in Ti₂O₃ to 3.000(1) Å in (Ti_0.9587Sc_0.0413)₂O₃ and decreases to 2.991(1) Å in (Ti_0.99Al_0.01)₂O₃.     

Regioselective synthesis of trifluoromethyl group containing allylic amines by palladium-catalyzed allylic amination and sequential isomerization

The palladium-catalyzed regioselective allylic amination of the α-trifluoromethyl group-substituted allyl acetate has been accomplished using Pd(OAc)₂/DPPE and [Pd(π-allyl)(cod)]BF₄/DPPF as catalysts. The selective formation of the γ-product was attained in the presence of Pd(OAc)₂/DPPE, while the α-product was obtained using [Pd(π-allyl)(cod)]BF₄/DPPF. We also succeeded in the regioselective synthesis of the enantiomerically enriched aminated product from chiral allyl acetate using Pd(OAc)₂/DPPE and [Pd(π-allyl)(cod)]BF₄/(S)-BINAP. Furthermore, we found that kinetic resolution had occurred during the isomerization step from the γ-type product to the α-type product by the [Pd(π-allyl)(cod)]BF₄/(S)-BINAP catalyst.     

Copper-catalyzed arylation of phenylurea using KF/Al2O3

A mild and efficient method for the copper-catalyzed arylation of phenylurea is described. The coupling reaction of phenylurea with different functionalized aryl iodides in the presence of air stable CuI, N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine as a ligand, and KF/Al₂O₃ as a base gives symmetrical and unsymmetrical diarylureas in relatively high yields.     

低温条件下无定型硅铝的硅铝比对Ni2P催化剂制备的影响

采用分步沉淀法制备了SiO₂和不同质量硅铝比(包括9/1,8/2,7/3和6/4)的无定型SiO₂-Al₂O₃(ASA),采用饱和体积共浸渍和程序升温还原法制备Ni₂P/ASA催化剂,以X射线衍射(XRD)、普通红外(FT-IR),N₂吸附脱附、H₂还原脱附(H₂-TPR)和透射电镜(TEM)对载体和催化剂进行表征,重点考察了低温条件下不同硅铝比以及比表面积大小对Ni₂P相生成的影响。结果表明,在低温条件下,载体中氧化铝含量增多,生成Ni₂P相所需的P含量越多。原因是磷首先与氧化铝生成AlPO₄相,阻碍了富磷气氛的生成,而生成Ni₂P相必须在富P的气氛下进行,从而在铝含量较多的载体中必须加入更多的P含量才能生成纯Ni₂P相。而TEM结果则表明,AlPO₄相的生成反过来促进了Ni₂P颗粒尺寸的降低,有利于催化剂的分散。载体比表面积大小对Ni₂P相的生成影响不大。     

Adsorbentien als Ionenaustausch- und Trennmedien Al2O3 und SiO2 in der chromatographischen Tensidanalytik

Summary In addition to their properties of being able to separate organic substance groups, Al₂O₃ and SiO₂ have obviously the ability to bring about an ion exchange. Both of them can be used on thin layers as well as on adsorption columns. Al₂O₃ provides the anion exchange under the conditions described, while SiO₂ brings about the cation exchange. LAS and cation-active surfactants of type DSDMAC, which are nearly always to be found in municipal wastes and sewage sludge, and which often occur in flowing waters, can be very well separated from one another and from accompanying and hazardous substances with the aid of these adsorbents. Even detergents and other technical mixtures which contain surfactants can be decomposed into separate components (substance groups) and analyzed. It can be assumed that Al₂O₃ and SiO₂ can also bring about the ion exchange for other ionogenic substances.     

Synthesis and properties of PdSn/Al2O3 and PdSn/SiO2 prepared by solvated metal atom dispersed method

A series of solvated metal atom dispersion (SMAD) catalysts: Pd/SiO₂, Pd/Al₂O₃, Sn/SiO₂, Sn/Al₂O₃, Pd_xSn_y/SiO₂ and Pd_xSn_y/Al₂O₃. It was prepared by simultaneous evaporation of Pd and Sn. The metals were co-deposited at 77 K using acetone, 2-propanol and THF to produce colloids “in situ” all the supported catalyst were characterized by chemisorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and TPR. This series of catalyst were tested for crotonaldehyde hydrogenation in gas phase to obtain crotyl alcohol.     

TPR studies on steam reforming of 2-propanol on Rh/Al2O3, Ru/Al2O3 and Pd/Al2O3

Reaction pathways for steam reforming of 2-propanol (isopropyl alcohol, IPA) on Rh/Al₂O₃, Ru/Al₂O₃ and Pd/Al₂O₃ have been studied by temperature-programmed reactions (TPRs) of IPA and acetone in the presence of steam. The results of TPRs suggest that that of IPA on Rh/Al₂O₃ and Ru/Al₂O₃ proceeds via acetone, while the steam reforming of IPA on Pd/Al₂O₃ takes place via propene from acetone.

SiO2和Al2O3负载的Ni基催化剂在甲烷干重整中的催化性能差异

CH₄与CO₂干重整反应对于环境保护和天然气资源的合理利用具有重要意义。SiO₂和Al₂O₃是适用于甲烷干重整反应的两种典型的催化剂载体。为了阐明这两种载体对催化剂性能的影响,本研究采用等体积浸渍法制备了Ni/Al₂O₃和Ni/SiO₂催化剂,并利用BET、TEM、H₂-TPR、XRD、TG和Raman等技术对还原和反应后的催化剂进行了表征。结果表明,由于载体的性质不同,Ni基催化剂在甲烷干重整中的催化性能也不同。Ni/SiO₂催化剂的初始活性较高,但由于其金属-载体相互作用较弱,催化稳定性较差,在800℃下反应15h其催化活性急剧下降;较弱的金属-载体相互作用使得Ni/SiO₂催化剂上的Ni颗粒较大,有利于积炭前驱物种的生成,导致催化剂快速失活。而对于Ni/Al₂O₃催化剂,金属-载体相互作用较强,Ni颗粒较小,但由于Ni与Al₂O₃生成了NiAl_xO_y物种,有效活性位减少,其催化活性相对较低,但催化稳定性较好,干重整反应进行50h其活性保持稳定;Ni与Al₂O₃之间较强的相互作用有利于形成小且稳定的Ni粒子,能减少积炭,因而具有优异的催化稳定性。     

不同硅铝比Al-ITQ-13分子筛的甲醇制丙烯反应催化性能

采用晶种法直接合成了硅铝比(SiO_2/Al_2O_3物质的量比)为137、224和309的三种Al-ITQ-13分子筛,并采用粉末X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)、N_2吸附-脱附、固体核磁共振(MAS NMR)和NH_3-程序升温脱附(NH_3-TPD)等分析方法对不同硅铝比分子筛进行了表征,并在固定床微型反应评价装置上,考察了硅铝比对甲醇转化制丙烯反应性能的影响。结果表明,不同硅铝比Al-ITQ-13分子筛呈现出相似的织构性质,酸量及酸强度随着硅铝比的升高逐渐下降。硅铝比对甲醇转化反应的产物分布存在较大的影响;随着硅铝比的升高,氢转移反应和芳构化反应活性降低,使得乙烯选择性下降,而丙烯和丁烯的选择性升高。硅铝比由137提高到309,丙烯的选择性(质量分数)由46.04%增加到55.52%,而丙烯/乙烯比由3.39提高到6.57。     

Effect of sol-gel derived Al2O3-ZrO2 and Al2O3-TiO2 oxides on the selectivity of NO reduction by CO under oxidizing conditions

The role of Al₂O₃-ZrO₂ and Al₂O₃-TiO₂ sol-gel prepared supports in the activity of platinum for the NO reduction by CO under oxidizing conditions has been studied. ²⁷Al MAS-NMR spectra have shown the formation of pentacoordinate Al^V in alumina-zirconia support. ZrO₂ or TiO₂ crystalline phases cannot be identified by XRD diffraction, suggesting the formation of nanosized structures supported on alumina. When the reaction was carried out in presence of oxygen, large amounts of NO₂ were observed on Pt/Al₂O₃-ZrO₂catalyst, while the formation of N₂O is more prononced on Pt/Al₂O₃-TiO₂ catalyst. The effect of water during NO reduction is discussed. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Alkylation of 2-methylquinoline with alcohols under additive-free conditions by Al2O3-supported Pt catalyst

Supported metal nanoparticle catalysts are studied for alkylation of 2-methylquinoline with benzyl alcohol under additive-free conditions in N₂ atmosphere. Among various metal-loaded Al₂O₃ catalysts and supported Pt catalysts, Pt metal nanocluster loaded-Al₂O₃ pre-reduced in H₂ at 500 °C shows highest yield (82%) of the product (2-phenethyl-quinoline). The catalyst is reusable, shows higher turnover number than a previous homogeneous catalyst, and shows good to moderate yield for alkylation of 2-methylquinoline with various alcohols. The reaction is driven by the borrowing-hydrogen pathway, in which aldehyde formed by dehydrogenation of alcohol undergoes aldol condensation with 2-methylquinoline to give the alkene intermediate which is finally hydrogenated by Pt-H species.     

Laser-induced luminescence of model Fe/Al2O3 and Cr/Al2O3 catalysts

The laser-induced luminescence of Cr³⁺ impurity ions in model Fe/Al₂O₃ and Cr/Al₂O₃ catalysts with different calcination temperatures was studied. It was found that an additional luminescence band at 770 nm appeared in the luminescence spectra of low-temperature samples as a result of the interaction of octahedrally coordinated Cr³⁺ ions with Fe³⁺ impurity ions. In the θ-Al₂O₃ phase with a concentration of Cr³⁺ ions higher than 0.1 wt %, the interaction of the Cr³⁺-Cr³⁺ ion pairs in the immediate surroundings resulted in the appearance of N _θ lines due to the splitting of R _θ lines. The differences of these lines from the N _α lines of α-Al₂O₃ were related to the individuality of the crystal lattice of the θ phase and the coordination of Cr³⁺ impurity ions in the immediate surroundings, which is different from that in the α phase. Based on the laser-induced luminescence spectroscopic data, it was found that regions with a local Cr³⁺ concentration higher than the average Cr³⁺ concentration in the bulk of a catalyst by one order of magnitude were formed in the α-Al₂O₃-Fe₂O₃ system with the bulk Fe and Cr concentrations of 2.5 and 0.04 wt %, respectively, which was calcined at 1220°C, as a result of the diffusion of chromium and iron ions.
