A new way of probing reaction networks: analyzing multidimensional parameter space

Technically relevant partial oxidation reactions represent complex reaction networks. Establishing a kinetic model for a system of multiple consecutive and parallel reaction steps is a challenging goal. The synthesis of acrylic acid by oxidation of propane using MoVTeNb mixed oxide as catalyst is such a reaction network. In an on-going study, a 10- fold parallel reactor set-up is used to vary systematically reaction conditions in a broad range over a single, well-defined MoVTeNb oxide. Selectivity and product yield in a multidimensional parameter space can give insight into the reaction network. Apparent activation energies and reaction orders of propane are derived for several conditions. Optimum reaction conditions within the investigated parameter space are specified. The results presented within this contribution contain about 200 data points measured in steady states each corresponding to reaction conditions that differ in temperature, contact time, and propane feed concentration. The fact that this data was collected in less than two months shows clearly the advantage of parallel screening of reaction conditions for mechanistic studies.

DFT studies on fructose and glycine maillard reaction: Formation of the heyns rearrangement products in the initial stage

DFT studies on the proposed mechanisms of the initial stage of Maillard reaction between ??-fructose (??-Fru)/??-fructose (??-Fru)/open chain fructose (O-Fru) and glycine (Gly) under different conditions revealed that ??-Fru was more reactive than ??-Fru and O-Fru, and O-Fru was less reactive than ??-Fru in the reaction. The reaction under basic conditions was found to be the most favorable for the formation of the Heyns rearrangement products (HRPs) in the initial stage, and the aqueous solution was found to be more feasible than the gaseous state reaction. The reaction under neutral conditions was the second most favorable for the production of HRPs. The reaction at the isoelectric point of glycine and under acidic conditions was found to be unfeasible to produce HRPs.

Rapid Optimization of Reaction Conditions Based on Comprehensive Reaction Analysis Using a Continuous Flow Microwave Reactor

Generally, the flow method has the advantage of a precise control over the reaction parameters and a facile modification of the reaction conditions, while a continuous flow microwave reactor allows for the quick optimization of reaction conditions owing to the rapid uniform heating. In this study, we developed a “9+4+1 method” to optimize reaction conditions based on comprehensive reaction analysis using a flow microwave reactor. The proposed method is expected to contribute to the synthesis of various fine and bulk chemicals by reducing cost and wastage, and by conserving time.     

Control of regioselectivity in Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling-cyclization reaction of 2-(2',3'-allenyl)malonates with organic halides

The regioselectivity in the Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling-cyclization of 2-(2',3'-allenyl)malonates with organic halides is determined by the steric and electronic effects of both substrates. By deliberate control of the reaction conditions, the regioselectivity of this reaction can be tuned. With conditions A and B, the reaction afforded vinylic cyclopropane derivatives, while with conditions C and D, the reaction afforded cyclopentene derivatives in a highly selective manner. Under similar conditions, 1-alkenyl halides tend to form more three-membered cyclic products. The increased steric hindrance at the 2'-position of the allene moiety and aryl halides favors the formation of five-membered cyclic products. The regioselectivity of the reaction may be explained by the comparison of the relative stabilities of syn- and anti-type pi-allyl palladium intermediates.
