Solvent-free reduction of aldehydes and ketones using solid acid-activated sodium borohydride

A simple and convenient procedure for the reduction of aldehydes and ketones with sodium borohydride activated by solid acids such as boric acid, benzoic acid, and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate under solvent-free conditions is described.     

Effect of borohydride reduction on antibodies

The effect of borohydride reducing reagents on monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies was examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Each antibody showed different stability characteristics to the reducing reagents. Sodium cyanoborohydride was at least five times milder toward immunological activity than sodium borohydride, however, sodium cyanoborohydride with a catalytic amount of metal ion (Zn²⁺ or Al³⁺ ) can be as harsh as sodium borohydride. Activated hydrophobic borohydrides, 9BBN-pyridine, did not have any advantages in respect to the stabilities of antibodies. Antibodies to be used for immunosorbent purification must be evaluated individually to determine whether their structure is stable to immobilization reagents and conditions prior to their linkage to the column support.     

Photo-enhanced reduction of carbonyl compounds by sodium borohydride

The reduction of ketones and some esters by sodium borohydride is dramatically accelerated by uv irradiation. The reaction seems to proceed from the (n, π) excited state of the carbonyl compound. The photocatalytic effect is dependent on the solvent polarity and substituents on aromatic carboxylic acids and alcohols of esters.     

Sodium borohydride reduction of aromatic carboxylic acids via methyl esters

A number of important aromatic carboxylic acids precursors, or intermediates in the syntheses of natural products, are converted into methyl esters and reduced to the corresponding primary alcohols using a sodium borohydride-THF-methanol system. The alcohols are obtained in 70–92% yields in 2–5 hours, in a pure state. This two-step procedure not only provides a better alternative to aluminum hydride reduction of acids but also allows the selective reduction of esters in presence of acids, amides, nitriles or nitro functions which are not affected under these conditions.     

Borane-catalyzed hydroboration of substituted alkenes by lithium borohydride or sodium borohydride

In the presence of a catalytic amount of BH₃·Me₂S, TiCl₄ or Me₃SiCl, LiBH₄ or NaBH₄ are capable of hydroborating alkenes by following the unusual order of decreasing reactivity: tetramethylethylene > 1-methylcyclohexene > cyclohexene; the key step of the catalytic cycle is the exchange reaction between LiBH₄ and the mono- or dialkylboranes resulting from hydroboration of the more substituted alkenes with BH₃.

Ultrafast room-temperature reduction of graphene oxide by sodium borohydride,sodium molybdate and hydrochloric acid

Since graphene-based materials have shown great potential in many fields,it is important to explore ultrafast and high-efficient methods to synthesize reduced graphene oxide(rGO) using inexpensive reducing agents under mild conditions.Here,we reported a novel method for the ultrafast chemical reduction of graphene oxide(GO) at room temperature using sodium borohydride(NaBH₄),sodium molybdate(Na₂MoO₄) and hydrochloric acid(HCl).The reduction was carried out within 2 min.A series of characterization results revealed that the obtained reduced graphene oxide has higher reduction degree than that synthesized by NaBH₄ alone at high temperature.Moreover,rGO electrode based on the present reducing method exhibited a superior specific capacitance of 139.8 F/g at a current density of1 A/g,indicating that it can be used as electrode materials for supercapacitors.

硼氢化钠水解制氢的研究

采用置换镀的方法在泡沫镍基体上获得不同载钌量的NaBH4水解制氢催化剂。实验结果表明，NaBH4水解制氢反应为零级反应，氢气生成速率随载钌量的增加而变快；当泡沫镍表面完全被钌覆盖时，载钌量为6%，相应的催化能力最强。与离子交换树脂载钌催化剂相比，泡沫镍载钌催化剂更稳定、耐用。实验还证实，30%比35%的NaBH4水溶液在相同的催化剂作用下更易发生水解反应；NaBH4水溶液中加入少量的NaOH有助于提高钌催化剂的催化性能。通过对NaBH4储氢体系的能量计算，说明采用该氢源体系的微型燃料电池的能量密度有望达到甚至超过锂离子电池的比能量水平。     

Direct oxidation of methane at low temperature using Pt/C,Pd/C,Pt/C-ATO and Pd/C-ATO electrocatalysts prepared by sodium borohydride reduction process

The main objective of this paper was to characterize the voltammetric profiles of the Pt/C,Pt/C-ATO,Pd/C and Pd/CATO electrocatalysts and study their catalytic activities for methane oxidation in an acidic electrolyte at 25 ℃ and in a direct methane proton exchange membrane fuel cell at 80 ℃. The electrocatalysts prepared also were characterized by X-ray diffraction( XRD) and transmission electron microscopy( TEM). The diffractograms of the Pt/C and Pt/C-ATO electrocatalysts show four peaks associated with Pt face-centered cubic( fcc) structure,and the diffractograms of Pd/C and Pd/C-ATO show four peaks associated with Pd face-centered cubic( fcc) structure. For Pt/C-ATO and Pd/C-ATO,characteristic peaks of cassiterite( SnO_2) phase are observed,which are associated with Sb-doped SnO_2( ATO) used as supports for electrocatalysts. Cyclic voltammograms( CV) of all electrocatalysts after adsorption of methane show that there is a current increase during the anodic scan. However,this effect is more pronounced for Pt/C-ATO and Pd/C-ATO. This process is related to the oxidation of the adsorbed species through the bifunctional mechanism,where ATO provides oxygenated species for the oxidation of CO or HCO intermediates adsorbed in Pt or Pd sites. From in situ ATR-FTIR( Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared) experiments for all electrocatalysts prepared the formation of HCO or CO intermediates are observed,which indicates the production of carbon dioxide. Polarization curves at 80 ℃in a direct methane fuel cell( DMEFC) show that Pd/C and Pt/C electroacatalysts have superior performance to Pd/C-ATO and Pt/C-ATO in methane oxidation.     

钠对焦炭非均相还原NO的微观作用机理

基于密度泛函理论研究了钠对焦炭非均相还原NO的微观作用机理。计算结果表明,Na原子可以在焦炭边缘游离,最倾向于吸附在焦炭边缘穴位,释放出174.2 kJ/mol的能量。波函数分析显示,Na原子以强静电吸引的方式与边缘碳原子结合,电子由Na转移到焦炭上。NO以O临近Na原子的方式吸附在焦炭边缘最稳定。Na促进第一个NO分子的吸附,但对第二个NO分子的吸附影响不大。内禀反应坐标计算与Mayer键级分析表明非均相还原通道中Na与O之间经历"结合-分离",通过"氧化-还原"的方式影响反应的进行。N₂分子的化学解吸附步是非均相还原的速控步。采用正则变分过渡态理论进行动力学分析,发现Na对速控步的活化能影响不大,但会增加焦炭上活性位点的数量,加快反应的进行。

Hydrogen generation from methanolysis of sodium borohydride over Co/Al2O3 catalyst

Co/Al2O3 catalyst is prepared with an impregnation-chemical reduction method and used to catalyze the methanolysis of sodium borohydride (NaBH 4) for hydrogen generation.At solution temperature of 0 C,the methanolysis reaction can be effectively accelerated using Co/Al2O3 catalyst and provide a desirable hydrogen generation rate,which makes it suitable for applications under the circumstance of low environmental temperature.The byproduct of methanolysis reaction is analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).The characterization results indicate that methanol can be easily recovered after methanolysis reaction by hydrolysis of the methanolysis byproduct,NaB(OCH 3) 4.The catalytic activity of Co/Al2O3 towards NaBH 4 methanolysis can be further improved by appropriate calcination treatment.The catalytic methanolysis kinetics and catalyst reusability are also studied over the Co/Al2O3 catalyst calcined at the optimized temperature.

Thermal properties of alkaline sodium borohydride solutions

Alkaline sodium borohydride solutions are potential hydrogen sources for fuel cells. Thermal properties of the NaBH₄–NaOH–H₂O ternary system were measured by DSC and temperature-rise calorimetry. Liquidus temperatures showed that it is possible to store and use the solutions well below 0 °C if NaOH concentration is less than 20 wt%. The solubility of sodium borohydride was found to be large in these solutions, but decreased with increasing NaOH concentration. The optimum composition for alkaline borohydride solutions seems to be 15 wt% NaBH₄ in 10 wt% NaOH considering both the liquidus temperature and hydrogen storage density.     

Methanol oxidation in acidic and alkaline electrolytes using PtRuIn/C electrocatalysts prepared by borohydride reduction process

PtRuIn/C electrocatalysts( 20% metal loading by weight) were prepared by sodium borohydride reduction process using H_2PtCl6·6H_2O,RuCl_3·xH_2O and InCl_3·xH_2O as metal sources,borohydride as reducing agent and Carbon Vulcan XC72 as support. The synthetized PtRuIn/C electrocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction( XRD),energy dispersive analysis( EDX),transmission electron microscopy( TEM),cyclic voltammetry( CV),chronoamperommetry( CA) and polarization curves in alkaline and acidic electrolytes( single cell experiments). The XRD patterns showPtpeaks are attributed to the face-centered cubic( fcc) structure,and a shift of Pt( fcc) peaks indicates that Ru or In is incorporated into Ptlattice. TEMmicrographs showmetal nanoparticles with an average nanoparticle size between 2.7 and 3.5 nm. Methanol oxidation in acidic and alkaline electrolytes was investigated at room temperature,by CV and CA. PtRu/C( 50 ∶ 50) shows the highest activity among all electrocatalysts in study considering methanol oxidation for acidic and alkaline electrolyte. Polarization curves at 80 ℃ showPtRuIn/C( 50 ∶ 25 ∶ 25)with superior performance for methanol oxidation,when compared to Pt/C,PtIn/C and PtRu/C for both electrolytes. The best performance obtained by PtRuIn/C( 50 ∶ 25 ∶ 25) in real conditions could be associated with the increased kinetics reaction and/or with the occurrence simultaneously of the bifunctional mechanism and electronic effect resulting from the presence of Ptalloy.
