Reactivity of common functional groups with urethanes: Models for reactive compatibilization of thermoplastic polyurethane blends

Two model urethane compounds, dibutyl 4,4′‐methylenebis(phenyl carbamate) (BMB) and dioctyl 4,4′‐methylenebis(phenyl carbamate) (OMO) were prepared by capping 4,4′‐methylenebis(phenyl isocyanate) with n‐butanol and n‐octanol, respectively. The reactions of the two model urethane compounds with several small monofunctional compounds as well as two model poly(ethylene glycols) were carried out with neat mixtures at elevated temperatures. The ranking of reactivity of the functional groups with the urethanes was determined as follows—primary amine > secondary amine ? hydroxyl ～ acid ～ anhydride ? epoxide. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) was used for the quantitative analysis. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to complement the NMR analysis. Conversions of carbamate in each reaction were monitored over time at constant temperature (200 °C). The reactions between OMO and primary amine were conducted at 170, 180, 190, and 200 °C and best described with a second‐order bimolecular reaction model. The rate constant was estimated to be 1.8 × 10^?3 L · mol^?1 · s^?1 and activation energy 115 kJ · mol^?1. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 40: 2310–2328, 2002     

Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Synthesis of Hybrid Oligomer‐Acrylated Cycloaliphatic Epoxy in the Presence of Triphenylphosphine and Triethylamine Catalysts

The kinetics for the esterification of cycloaliphatic epoxy resin with acrylic acid was investigated in the presence of two different catalysts, namely triethylamine (TEA) and triphenylphosphine (TPP). The reactions were carried out at four different temperatures in the range of 80–110°C and 60–90°C for TPP and TEA catalysts, respectively. The power law kinetics model was adopted for analyzing experimental data to determine reaction equations. Both differential and integral methods were applied to determine the reaction orders and reaction constants. The overall reaction order for the reaction systems was found to be 2 using both differential and integral methods. According to the differential method, the reaction orders with respect to epoxide and carboxylic acid groups were calculated to be 1.2 and 0.8, respectively. The reactions could be considered as first‐order reactions with respect to each group based on integral method analysis. The activation energies and frequency factors of these esterification reactions were found to be 77.2 kJ·mol⁻¹ and 1.72E+10 L·mol⁻¹_·min⁻¹ in the presence of TPP and 65.3 kJ·mol⁻¹ and 1.44E+7 L·mol⁻¹·min⁻¹ in the presence of TEA. The thermodynamic parameters of reaction in the presence of TPP and TEA were calculated. The results confirmed that both reactions were spontaneous and irreversible. It was found that the reaction in the presence of TEA produced a highly ordered activated complex.

Experimental and theoretical evidence suggests carbamate intermediates play a key role in CO2 sequestration catalysed by sterically hindered amines

The chemisorption of CO₂ by aqueous-hindered amines has been investigated experimentally and theoretically. Negative-ion ESI–MS analysis of solutions containing a sterically hindered amine and a source of ¹³CO₂ reveals peaks corresponding to [M–H + 45]^?. These ions readily lose 45 Da when subjected to collisional activation, and together with other key fragments confirms the generation of the ¹³C-labelled carbamate derivatives. The thermochemistry of the two key capture reactions: $$2.{\text{amine }} + {\text{ CO}}_{ 2} { \leftrightarrows }{\text{amine}} - {\text{CO}}_{ 2}^{ - } + {\text{ amine}} - {\text{H}}^{ + } {\kern 1pt} \quad 1:{\text{carbam}}$$ $${\text{amine }} + {\text{ CO}}_{ 2} + {\text{ H}}_{ 2} {\text{O}}{ \leftrightarrows }{\text{HCO}}_{ 3}^{ - } + {\text{ amine}} - {\text{H}}^{ + } \quad 2:{\text{ bicarb}}$$ at 298 K was modelled using composite chemistry methods, CCSD(T), DFT, and SM8 free energies of solvation. The aqueous reaction free energies (ΔG ₂₉₈) for reaction 1 are predicted to be more negative than ΔG ₂₉₈ for reaction 2 when amine = ammonia, 2-aminoethanol (MEA), 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-propane-1,3-diol (tris), and 2-piperidinemethanol (2-PM). For AMP, tris, and 2-PM, activation free energies ΔG ₂₉₈ ^? for reaction 1 (SM8 + CCSD(T)/6-311 ++G(d,p)//M08-HX/MG3S: 38–67 kJ mol^?1) are smaller than the corresponding values for 2 (109–113 kJ mol^?1). For 2-PM, the computed carbamate ΔG ₂₉₈ ^? (38 kJ mol^?1) is comparable to the MEA value (45 kJ mol^?1), whereas the primary amines with tertiary alpha carbons have slightly larger values (60–70 kJ mol^?1). The organic amine values are much lower than the value for ammonia (93 kJ mol^?1). The results indicate CO₂ chemisorption proceeds via a carbamate intermediate for all aqueous primary and secondary amines. Hindered carbamates are susceptible to further chemical transformations following their formation.

A new chelate (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂Ti(SB)₂, whereSB=O, N donor Schiff base salicylidene-4-methylaniline, was synthesized. The course of thermal degradation of the chelate was studied by thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) under dynamic conditions of temperature. The order of the thermal decomposition reaction and energy of activation was calculated from TG curve while from DTA curve the change in enthalpy was calculated.

The values of ΔS ^≠, ΔH ^≠ and ΔG ^≠ of the reaction are 94.28 J·mol^?1·K^?1, 203.75 kJ·mol^?1 and 155.75 kJ·mol^?1, respectively.     

A Theoretical Investigation on N7(H)→N9(H)Tautomerization of Isolated and Monohydrated 2,6-Dithiopurine Combined with IPCM Solvent Model

The tautomerization reaction mechanism has been reported between N7(H) and N9(H) of isolated and monohydrated 2,6‐dithiopurine using B3LYP/6‐311+G(d,p). The isodensity polarized continuum model (IPCM) in the self‐consistent reaction field (SCRF) method is employed to account for the solvent effect of water on the tautomerization reaction activation energies. The results show that the two pathways P(1) (via the carbene intermediate I1) and P(2) (via the sp³‐hybrid intermediate I2) are found in intramolecular proton transfer, and each pathway is composed by two primary steps. The calculated activation energy barriers of the rate‐determining steps in isolated 2,6‐dithiopurine N7(H)→N9(H) tautomerism are 308.2 and 220.0 kJ·mol^?1 in the two pathways, respectively. Interestingly, in one‐water molecule catalyst, it dramatically lowers the N7(H)→N9(H) energy barriers by the concerted double proton transfer mechanism in P(1), favoring the formation of 2,6‐dithiopurine N9(H). However, the single proton transfer mechanism assisted with out‐of‐plane water in the first step of P(2) increases the activation energy barrier from 220.0 to 232.3 kJ·mol^?1, while the second step is the out‐of‐plane concerted double proton transfer mechanism, indicating that they will be less preferable for proton transfer. Additionally, the results also show that all the pathways are put into the aqueous solution, and the activation energy barriers have no significant changes. Therefore, the long‐range electrostatic effect of bulk solvent has no significant impact on proton transfer reactions and the interaction with explicit water molecules will significantly influence proton transfer reactions.     

The solid state reactions of o-aminobenzoic acid with Zn(Ⅱ), Cu(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ), Mn(Ⅱ) acetate hydrate at room temperature

The solid-solid state reactions of o-aminobenzoic acid with Zn(OAc)2.2H2O, Cu(OAc)2 .H2O, Ni(OAc)2.4H2O and Mn(OAc)2.4H2O result in the formation of corresponding complexes M(OAB)2 (M = Zn(Ⅱ), Cu(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ), Mn(IⅡ)). XRD, IR and elemental analysis methods have been used to characterize the solid products. The activation energies of these reactions, which are calculated from the kinetic data obtained by means of the isothermal electrical conductivity measurement method, have been found to increase in the order: Cu(OAc)2.H2O(37.7 kJ.mol-1)~Mn(OAc)2.4H2O (39.7kJ.mol-1) < Zn(OAc)2.2H2O (56.3 kJ.mol-1) < Ni(OAc)2.4H2O (85.2 kJ.mol-1). The trend is related to their crystal structures.     

Oxidation reaction and thermal stability of 1,3-butadiene under oxygen and initiator

1,3-Butadiene is the simplest conjugated diene, which is widely used in polymer materials, organic synthesis, and other fields. The investigation of its thermal stability and oxidation characteristics is necessary for production, transportation, and use safety. The pressure and temperature behavior of the autoxidation reaction of 1,3-butadiene with oxygen were determined using a custom-designed mini closed pressure vessel test (MCPVT). The effects of free radical initiators CHP and AIBN on the oxidation reaction were investigated. The thermal decomposition characteristics of oxidation products were measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and its hazards were discussed. The results showed that the oxidation reaction of 1,3-butadiene was easy to occur. Moreover, the activation energies of autoxidation, CHP-initiated oxidation, and AIBN-initiated oxidation reaction were 20.85 kJ·mol^?1, 33.30 kJ·mol^?1, and 56.27 kJ·mol^?1, respectively. In addition, the oxidation products were analyzed by headspace sampler-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-GC–MS), GC–MS, and iodometry. Some of 1,3-butadiene oxidation products under three conditions are the same, for example, 3-butene-1,2-diol, 4-vinylcyclohexene, 2(5H)-furanone, 2-propen-1-ol, and 2,6-cyclooctadien-1-ol. According to the reaction products, the oxidation reaction pathway of 1,3-butadiene was described. The research results are significant for avoiding fire and explosion accidents in the production, transportation, and application of 1,3-butadiene.     

The thermal decomposition of (NH4)4V2O11 in a nitrogen atmosphere and the kinetics of the first decomposition step

Although the reaction products are unstable at the reaction temperatures, at a heating rate of 2 deg·min^?1 ammonium peroxo vanadate, (NH₄)₄V₂O₁₁, decomposes to (NH₄)[VO (O₂)₂ (NH₃)] (above 93°C); this in turn decomposes to (NH₄) [VO₃ (NH₃)] (above 106°C) and then to ammonium metavanadate (above 145°C). On further heating vanadium pentoxide is formed above 320°C. The first decomposition reaction occurs in a single step and the Avrami-Erofeev equation withn=2 fits the decomposition data best. An activation energy of 148.8 kJ·mol^?1 and a ln(A) value of 42.2 are calculated for this reaction by the isothermal analysis method. An average value of 144 kJ·mol^?1 is calculated for the first decomposition reaction using the dynamic heating data and the transformation-degree dependence of temperature at different heating rates.

A simple empirical method for the estimation of activation energies in radical molecule metathesis reactions

Several new empirical methods are presented for the prediction of activation energies E of the metathetical transfer reaction of single bonded atoms in radical-molecule reactions of the type A· + BC → AB + C· The methods assign additive contributions to E for the endgroups A· and C·, neglecting the effect of the transferred atom B. Most of the predicted values agree to within l kcal mol^?1 with the experimental activation energies (average error = 0.82 and standard deviation = 1.02 kcal mol^?1). This is comparable to the best of the more complex schemes available for such estimation.     

Kinetics and reaction mechanism of isothermal oxidation of Iranian ilmenite concentrate powder

Thermal oxidation of commercial ilmenite concentrate from Kahnouj titanium mines, Iran, at 500–950 °C was investigated for the first time. Fractional conversion was calculated from mass change of the samples during oxidation. Maximum FeO to Fe₂O₃ conversion of 98.63 % occurred at 900 °C after 120 min. Curve fit trials together with SEM line scan results indicated constant-size shrinking core model as the closest kinetic mechanism of the oxidation process. Below 750 °C, chemical reaction with activation energy of 80.65 kJ mol^?1 and between 775 and 950 °C, ash diffusion with activation energy of 53.50 kJ mol^?1 were the prevailing mechanisms. X-ray diffraction patterns approved presence of pseudobrookite, rutile, hematite, and Fe₂O₃·2TiO₂ phases after oxidation of ilmenite concentrate at 950 °C.
