Application of chloroaluminate ionic liquid as catalyst and medium for the dealkylation of esters

Abstract  

Dealkylation of esters to carboxylic acids was performed using chloroaluminate ionic liquids (PyHBr/AlCl₃, PyHCl/AlCl₃, Me₃NHCl/AlCl₃, Et₃NHCl/AlCl₃) as catalyst and medium. The catalytic activity of PyHBr/AlCl₃ (X(AlCl₃) = 0.67) proved to be superior to the other three ionic liquids for the dealkylation of methyl benzoate with a conversion of 97% after 3 h at 140 °C. After easy separation from the products the ionic liquid PyHBr/AlCl₃ could be reused six times without loss of its activity.     

AlCl<Subscript>3</Subscript>/amide ionic liquids for electrodeposition of aluminum

AlCl₃/amide (acetamide, propionamide, butyramide) ionic liquids were used as the electrolytes to study the electrodeposition behavior of aluminum on a tungsten electrode. Cyclic voltammograms on the tungsten electrode indicate that Al(III) ions can be reduced to aluminum only within the molar ratio range of 1.1 to 1.5 and the reduction potentials of Al(III) ions strongly depend on the molar ratio of AlCl₃/amide. Raman spectra results reveal that the electroactive specie of AlCl₃/amide ionic liquids is Al₂Cl₇ ^?. Aluminum coatings were prepared at ?0.25 V (vs. Al/Al³⁺) and at 313 K in AlCl₃/amide ionic liquids with the molar ratio of 1.3. The SEM and cross-sectional SEM images show that all the obtained aluminum films are silver-colored, thick, and adherent. The EDS and XRD analysis confirm that the obtained deposits are pure aluminum. The present results can provide a new route for aluminum electrodeposition under ambient conditions.     

Alkylation of benzene with 1-hexene in acidic ionic liquid systems: Et3NHCl-FeCl3and Et3NHCl-AlCl3ionic liquids

Summary The alkylation of benzene with 1-hexene has been investigated in different triethylamine hydrochloride-ferric chloride (Et₃NHCl-FeCl₃) and triethylamine hydrochloride-aluminium chloride (Et₃NHCl-AlCl₃) ionic liquids. Both high catalyst activity and monoalkylation selectivity were observed for these two type of ionic liquids. Systems prepared by modification with HCl in Et₃NHCl-FeCl₃ionic liquids prove to be very suitable solvents and catalysts for the reaction. When employing Et₃NHCl-AlCl₃ionic liquids as catalysts, the reaction takes place in biphasic mode with facile catalyst separation and catalyst recycling.     

Al electroplating on the AZ121 Mg alloy in an EMIC–AlCl3 ionic liquid containing ethylene glycol

To improve the corrosion resistance of Mg alloys, an Al layer was electrodeposited on the Mg surface from an ionic liquid of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (EMIC) and aluminum chloride (AlCl₃) at 283?K. A smooth surfaced Al electrodeposit can be electroplated in the AlCl₃–EMIC ionic liquid by pulse electrolysis at 6.7?Hz and a duty ratio of 0.67. A denser and flatter Al layer was successfully electroplated on AZ121 substrate at the lower temperature of 283?K in an AlCl₃–EMIC ionic liquid with 0.1?M ethylene glycol added.     

Electrochemical behavior of aluminum and some of its alloys in chloroaluminate ionic liquids: electrolytic extraction and electrorefining

The electrochemical behaviors of pure Al, Al–6%Si, Al–3%Cu, and Al–3.7%Cu–0.9%Mg–0.8%Pb–0.6%Fe alloys were investigated in the chloroaluminate ionic liquids 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [BMIm]Cl/AlCl₃ (40/60 mol%) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [EMIm]Cl/AlCl₃ (40/60 mol%). Electrolytic extraction of copper from Al–Cu alloys in the employed ionic liquids was explored. The alloys were anodically dissolved in the ionic liquids and then pure copper was recovered under potentiostatic conditions. Due to the large difference between the deposition potentials of Cu and Al, pure Cu can be obtained without Al contamination. Electrorefining of Al–3%Cu and Al–6%Si alloys was also investigated in [BMIm]Cl/AlCl₃ (40/60 mol%) at room temperature. High purity aluminum deposits were obtained with significantly low energy consumption of about 2 kWh/kg of Al.     

酸性AlCl3-BMIC离子液体中的铝阳极溶解

采用线性扫描伏安法研究了Lewis 酸性AlCl₃-BMIC (BMIC: 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride)离子液体中铝电极的溶解. 铝电极在阳极极化时出现了钝化现象, 钝化是由于在铝电极表面形成了固体AlCl₃钝化膜造成的. 铝的电化学溶解过程可以依次分为三个区: 电化学控制区、过渡区和钝化区. 在电化学控制区, 铝的电化学溶解速率随着电位的正移而逐渐增加; 在过渡区, 由于电极表面AlCl₄^-和Al₂Cl₇^-浓度发生改变而析出固体AlCl₃使得铝电化学溶解速率随着电位的正移而逐渐减小; 当钝化膜形成之后, 铝的电化学溶解速率不再随着电位的正移而发生改变, 铝溶解进入钝化区. 增加搅拌、升高温度、降低离子液体AlCl₃摩尔分数都可以增加铝溶解阳极极限电流密度.

Electrodeposition of nanocrystalline aluminium, copper, and copper–aluminium alloys from 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium trifluoromethylsulfonate ionic liquid

In this paper, we show that nanocrystalline aluminium, copper, and copper–aluminium alloys can be electrodeposited from the ionic liquid 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium trifluoromethylsulfonate, [Py_1,4]TfO. Furthermore, Al deposition was studied in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethylsulfonate, [EMIm]TfO for comparison. The two employed ionic liquids exhibit different concentration-dependent phase behaviour with AlCl₃. This study comprises cyclic voltammetry, potentiostatic electrolysis, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, atomic absorption spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. Thick (in micrometre regime) and uniform layers of aluminium deposits were obtained from 2.75?M AlCl₃ in [Py_1,4]TfO at 100?°C. The average crystallite size of aluminium was found to be around 40 to 50?nm. However, a coarse and cubic-shaped Al deposit with crystal sizes in the micrometre regime was obtained from [EMIm]TfO. Electrodeposition of copper was investigated in [Py_1,4]TfO-containing Cu(TfO)₂ at 100?°C. The average grain size of the copper deposit obtained from the electrolysis is around 20 to 40?nm. Electrodeposition of copper–aluminium alloys was successful in the same ionic liquid at 100?°C. Thick layers of copper–aluminium alloys were obtained from the employed ionic liquid. XRD analysis of the obtained deposits from electrolysis experiments revealed that Cu₃Al alloy was formed. SEM analysis indicated that the nanocrystalline copper–aluminium deposits have an average grain size of 60 to 70?nm.     

Electrochemical Study of Indium in a Water‐Stable 1‐Ethyl‐3‐Methylimidazolium Chloride/Tetrafluoroborate Room Temperature Ionic Liquid

The electrochemistry of indium species was investigated at glassy carbon, tungsten and nickel electrodes in a basic 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride/tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid. Amperometric titration experiments suggest that In(III) chloride is complexed as [InCl₅]^2? in this ionic liquid. The electrochemical reduction of [InCl₅]^2? to indium metal is preceded by overpotential driven nucleations. The effective anodic dissolution of indium to indium(III) requires, however, the presence of sufficient chloride ions at the electrode surface. The electrodeposition of indium at glassy carbon and tungsten electrodes proceeds via three‐dimensional instantaneous nucleation with diffusion‐controlled growth of the nuclei. At the nickel electrode, the deposition proceeds via three‐dimensional progressive nucleation with diffusion‐controlled growth of the nuclei. Raising the deposition temperature decreases the average radius of the individual nuclei, r. Scanning electron microscopic and x‐ray diffraction data indicated that bulk crystalline indium electrodeposits could be prepared on nickel substrates within a temperature range between 30 and 120 °C.     

Speciation of Aluminium in Mixtures of the Ionic Liquids [C3mpip][NTf2] and [C4mpyr][NTf2] with AlCl3: An Electrochemical and NMR Spectroscopy Study

This paper reports on the electrodeposition of aluminium on several substrates from the air‐ and water‐stable ionic liquids 1‐propyl‐1‐methylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([C₃mpip][NTf₂]) and 1‐butyl‐1‐methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([C₄mpyr][NTf₂]), which contain anhydrous AlCl₃. At an AlCl₃ concentration of 0.75 molal, no evidence for aluminium electrodeposition was observed in either system at room temperature. However, aluminium electrodeposition becomes feasible upon heating the samples to 80 °C. Aluminium electrodeposition from bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide‐based ionic liquids that contain AlCl₃ has previously been shown to be very dependent upon the AlCl₃ concentration and has not been demonstrated at AlCl₃ concentrations below 1.13 molal. The dissolution of AlCl₃ in [C₃mpip][NTf₂] and [C₄mpyr][NTf₂] was studied by variable‐temperature ²⁷Al NMR spectroscopy to gain insights on the electroactive species responsible for aluminium electrodeposition. A similar change in the aluminium speciation with temperature was observed in both ionic liquids, thereby indicating that the chemistry was similar in both. The electrodeposition of aluminium was shown to coincide with the formation of an asymmetric four‐coordinate aluminium‐containing species with an ²⁷Al chemical shift of δ=94 and 92 ppm in the [C₃mpip][NTf₂]–AlCl₃ and [C₄mpyr][NTf₂]–AlCl₃ systems, respectively. It was concluded that the aluminium‐containing species that give rise to these resonances corresponds to the electroactive species and was assigned to [AlCl₃(NTf₂)]^?.     

Cathodic electrochemiluminescence at double barrier Al/Al2O3/Al/Al2O3 tunnel emission electrodes

Double insulating barrier tunnel emission electrodes were fabricated by adding a new pure aluminum layer upon oxidized aluminum electrodes by vacuum evaporation and thermally oxidizing the new aluminum layer in air at room temperature. Resulting Al/Al₂O₃/Al/Al₂O₃ electrodes allow the use of various aluminum alloys in the electrode body necessary for hardness or shaping ability of the electrode while obtaining the luminescence properties of pure aluminum oxide. During electrical excitation of luminescent labels by cathodic hot electron injection into aqueous electrolyte solution, the background noise is mainly based on high-field-induced solid-state electroluminescence and F-center luminescence of the outer aluminum oxide film. The more defect states and/or impurity centers the outer oxide film contains, the higher is the background emission intensity. The present electrode fabrication method provides a considerable improvement in signal-to-noise ratio for time-resolved electrochemiluminescence (TR-ECL) measurements when the original native oxide film of the electrode body contains luminescence centers displaying long-lived luminescence. The excellent performance of the present electrodes is demonstrated by extremely low-level detection of Tb(III) chelates, luminol, Pt(II) coproporphyrin and Tb(III) labels in an immunometric immunoassay by time-resolved electrochemiluminescence.     

Influence of H2O on alternating copolymerization with the EtnAlCl3-n-VOCl3 catalyst system

The effect of the catalytic amount of H₂O was investigated with the Et_nAlCl_3-n-VOCl₃ catalyst system on the alternating copolymerization of acrylic monomers with diolefins and styrene. The presence of the catalytic amount of H₂O produced an improvement in the yield and in the molecular weight as well as the structure of copolymer with the Et_nAlCl_3-n-VOCl₃ catalyst system. The efficiency of the aluminum components in the Et_nAlCl_3-n-VOCl₃ system appears with AlEt₃ and especially with Et_1.5AlCl_1.5. The catalytic activity was found to depend upon the H₂O Et_nAlCl_3-n molar ratio and was also affected by the order of mixing of the catalyst components and the monomers. Effective catalyst could be prepared when the catalyst components (except VOCl₃) were premixed without presence of monomers. The possible catalytic behavior of H₂O was discussed.     

Chlorogallate(III) ionic liquids: Synthesis, acidity determination and their catalytic performances for isobutane alkylation

A series of triethylammonium-based chlorogallate(Ⅲ) ionic liquids with varied Lewis acidity was synthesized, characterized, and firstly applied to isobutane alkylation. The [Et3NHCl]-GaCl3 with χGaCl3 = 0.65 displayed a potential catalytic activity for the alkylation. The addition of copper halide into the chlorogallate(Ⅲ) ionic liquids dramatically enhanced the alkylation reaction. Up to 70.1% C8 selectivity and 91.3 RON were achieved with the [Et3NHCl]-GaCl3-CuCl (χGaCl3 = 0.65, CuCl = 5% mol) under 0.5 MPa, 900 r/min, 15 min, 288 K using the industrial C4 cut (isobutane/butene = 10). These results indicate that the chlorogallate(Ⅲ) system may be used as a promising catalyst for the C4 alkylation.

Ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization with TiCl4/MgCl2/AlCl3 catalyst in the presence of hydrogen

A TiCl₄/AlCl₃/MgCl₂ (Cat-B) catalyst containing 5.2 wt.% Al was prepared by the reaction of TiCl₄ with ethanol adduct of AlCl₃/MgCl₂ mixture. A TiCl₄/MgCl₂ catalyst (Cat-A) without doped AlCl₃ was also prepared by the same method. Ethylene-1-hexene copolymerization catalyzed by Cat-B in the presence of hydrogen showed slightly higher efficiency and higher 1-hexene incorporation than Cat-A. Comonomer incorporation was markedly increased when the cocatalyst AlEt₃ was replaced by Al(i-Bu)₃. Adding Ph₂Si(OMe)₂ as external donor in the catalyst system caused decrease in polymerization activity and 1-hexene incorporation. Each copolymer sample was fractionated into three fractions: n-heptane insoluble fraction (fraction A), n-heptane soluble and n-hexane insoluble fraction (fraction B) and n-hexane soluble fraction (fraction C). In most cases the amount of intermediate fraction (fraction B) was smaller than the other fractions and did not increase as the total 1-hexene content increase, indicating the presence of two classes of copolymer fractions with greatly different comonomer content and clear bimodality of the copolymer composition distribution. Doping AlCl₃ in the catalyst, changing cocatalyst and adding external donor mainly changed the weight ratio of fraction A to fraction C, but exerted little influences on their composition. According to the sequence distribution data of the fractions, doping AlCl₃ in the catalyst resulted in slight decrease of product of reactivity ratios (r₁r₂) in both fraction A and fraction C.     

Electrodeposition of aluminum–hafnium alloy from the Lewis acidic aluminum chloride-1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride molten salt

The electrochemistry of Hf(IV) and the electrodeposition of Al–Hf alloys were examined in the Lewis acidic 66.7–33.3 mol% aluminum chloride-1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride molten salt containing HfCl₄. When cyclic staircase voltammetry was carried out at a platinum disk electrode in this melt, the deposition and stripping waves for Al shifted to negative and positive potentials, respectively, suggesting that aluminum stripping is more difficult due to the formation of Al–Hf alloys. Al–Hf alloy electrodeposits containing ~13 at.% Hf were obtained on Cu rotating wire and cylinder electrodes. The Hf content in the Al–Hf alloy deposits depended on the HfCl₄ concentration in the melt, the electrodeposition temperature, and the applied current density. The deposits were composed of dense crystals and were completely chloride-free. The chloride-induced pitting corrosion potential of the resulting Al–Hf alloys was approximately +0.30 V against pure aluminum when the Hf content was above 10 at.%.     

Deoximation Reaction in Room Temperature Ionic Liquids under Mild Conditions

Deoximation in metal chloride ionic liquids based on 1‐alkyl‐3‐methylimidazolium and triethylene ammonium cations, such as AmimBr(Cl)‐MCl_x(A=ethyl, butyl, benzyl; M=Al, Fe, Cu, Sn and Zn; x=2, 3) and Et₃NHCl‐FeCl₃ were investigated under mild conditions. Ferrate chloride ionic liquid was proved to be an effective catalyst for deoximation of cyclohexanone oxime, exhibiting high conversion of oximes and selectivity to cyclohexanone. Good performance for the deoximation of other oximes such as salicylald oxime, acetone oxime, benzophenone oxime, 4‐nitrobenzald oxime, acetophenone oxime, 2‐chlorobenzaldehyde oxime, Acetald oxime, 2‐butanone oxime and (1R)‐camphor oxime was also achieved with bmimBr‐FeCl₃ as catalyst and solvent. The deoximation was determined to carry out via acid‐catalytic hydrolysis and the reaction mechanism was proposed.
