Structurally Diverse Nitric Oxide-Releasing Poly(propylene Imine) Dendrimers

Structurally diverse secondary amine-functionalized poly(propylene imine) (PPI) dendrimers capable of tunable nitric oxide (NO) release were synthesized in a straightforward, one-step manner using ring-opening or conjugate-addition reactions with propylene oxide (PO), styrene oxide (SO), acrylonitrile (ACN), poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate (average Mn = 480) (PEG) or 1,2-epoxy-9-decene (ED). N-Diazeniumdiolate nitric oxide donors were formed on the resulting secondary amine-functionalized G2-G5 PPI dendrimers by reaction with NO gas in basic solution. The NO storage and release kinetics for the resulting dendritic scaffolds were diverse (0.9-3.8 μmol NO/mg totals and 0.3 to 4.9 h half lives), illustrating the importance of the exterior chemical modification (e.g., steric environments, hydrophobicity, etc.) on diazeniumdiolate stability/decomposition. Tunable NO release was demonstrated by combining two donor systems on the exterior of one macromolecular scaffold. Additionally, a mathematical model was developed that allows for the simulation of dual NO release kinetics using the NO release data from the two single NO donor systems. The approaches described herein extend the range and scope of NO-releasing macromolecular scaffolds by unlocking a series of materials for use as dopants in biomedical polymers or stand-alone therapeutics depending on the exterior modification.     

Electrochemically Assisted Cycloaddition of Carbon Dioxide to Styrene Oxide on Copper/Carbon Hybrid Electrodes: Active Species and Reaction Mechanism

A novel electrochemically assisted cycloaddition process is proposed, in which highly efficient coupling of CO₂ with styrene oxide (SO) can be achieved to form styrene carbonate (SC) as a high-value-added product. A series of Cu catalysts with different morphologies and chemical states were fabricated on carbon paper (CP) by using in-situ electrodeposition, and the sample with nano-dendrimer structure was found to exhibit a relatively high activity of 74.8 % SC yield with 92.7 % SO conversion under gentle reaction conditions, thus showing its potential for practical applications. The relatively high electrochemically active surface area and charge transfer ability of dendrimer-like Cu benefited the electrochemical reaction. In particular, the Cu²⁺ species that were formed in situ during the reaction played a vital role in enhancing the activity and selectivity of the proposed Cu/CP hybrid catalyst. Cu²⁺ atoms served as active sites that can not only electrochemically activate CO₂ but also facilitate the ring opening of SO. Mechanistic analysis suggested that the reaction followed electrochemical and liquid-phase heterogeneous paths, which provide a new green and sustainable route for efficient utilization of CO₂ resources for fine chemical electrosynthesis.     

Cobalt(III)‐complex‐mediated terpolymerization of CO2, styrene oxide,and epoxides with an electron‐donating group

Terpolymerizations of CO₂, styrene oxide (SO), and epoxides with an electron‐donating group such as propylene oxide (PO) or cyclohexene oxide (CHO) were carried out by using Co(III)–salen complexes in the presence of an intra‐ or intermolecular nucleophilic cocatalyst. The resultant terpolymers have only one thermolysis peak and one glass transition temperature (T_g), which can be easily adjusted by controlling the proportion of styrene carbonate linkages. During the CO₂/SO/PO terpolymerization, the monomer reactivity ratios (r_SO = 0.18 and r_PO = 2.25) evaluated by Fineman–Ross plot indicates a random distribution of the two kinds of carbonate units in the resultant polymer. Contrarily, the monomer reactivity ratios were found to be r_SO = 0.48 and r_CHO = 0.79 in the CO₂/SO/CHO terpolymerization, indicating that an alternating nature of the two different carbonate units predominantly exists in the resultant polycarbonate. The regioselective ring opening of SO has a significant effect on the reactivities of both SO and CHO during the terpolymerization with CO₂. The matched reactivity is contributed to the enhanced regioselective ring opening of SO, caused by the attack of the dissociating polymer carboxylate anion, bearing a cyclohexene carbonate end unit. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Über den Technologiewandel in der Propylenoxid‐Herstellung

Propylene oxide (PO) is one of the most important intermediates for the chemical industry. It is used for the manufacture of materials such as insulating foams, solvents, deicing fluids among others and has, thus, become essential for our modern life. The first industrial production route for PO and today still the most important one is the so called chlorhydrine process. With the renouncement of chlorine, the SM‐PO and MTBE‐PO processes provide more environmentally friendly routes for the production of PO. However, Styrene and MTBE are obtained as secondary coproducts. The economic feasibility of these processes is determined not only by PO. It is also influenced by the demand of the coproducts. The CU‐PO process has been developed as a coproduct‐free variant of the SM‐PO process. The development of the highly selective catalyst titansilicalit‐1 (TS‐1) together with the vast expansion of the availability of hydrogen peroxide paved the way for the industrial realization of the coproduct‐free HPPO technology at various sites worldwide. Excellent yields and selectivities and water as an environmentally friendly byproduct characterize this new process for the production of PO. The application of homogeneous catalysts or the direct synthesis using air/oxygen and propylene are only of academic importance so far.

Direct gas-phase epoxidation of propylene to propylene oxide using air as oxidant on supported gold catalyst

Gold catalysts supported on SiO2, TiO2, TiO2-SiO2, and ZrO2-SiO2 supports were prepared by impregnating each support with a basic solution of tetrachloroauric acid. X-ray diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） techniques were used to characterize their structure and surface composition. The results indicated that the size of gold particles could be controlled to below 10 nm by this method of preparation. Washing gold catalysts with water could markedly enhance the dispersion of metallic gold particles on the surface, but it could not completely remove the chloride ions left on the surface. The catalytic performance of direct vapor-phase epoxidation of propylene using air as an oxidant over these catalysts was evaluated at atmospheric pressure. The selectivity to propylene oxide （PO） was found to vary with reaction time on the stream. At the reaction conditions of atmosphere pressure, temperature 325 ℃, feed gas ratio V（C3H6）/V（O2）= 1/2, and GHSV =6000h^-1, 17.9% PO selectivity with 0.9% propylene conversion were obtained at initial 10 min for Au/SiO2 catalyst. After reacting 60 min only 8.9% PO selectivity were detected, but the propylene conversion rises to 1.4% and the main product is transferred to acrolein （72% selectivity）. Washing Au/TiO2-SiO2 and Aa/ZrO2-SiO2 samples with magnesium citrate solution could markedly enhance the activity and PO selectivity because smaller gold particles were obtained.

Catalytic Performance of Amorphous Ti/SiO2 in the Gas-Phase Epoxidation of Propylene with H2O2

The epoxidation of propylene with dilute H₂O₂ aqueous solution over titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) zeolite catalyst is a green chemical reaction for propylene oxide (PO) production. Carrying out the reaction in gas-phase can get rid of problems caused by using methanol solvent. This paper reports an attempt of using non-zeolite catalyst for the gas-phase epoxidation. Amorphous Ti/SiO₂, obtained by grafting amorphous SiO₂ with TCl₄ in ethanol solvent in a chemical liquid-phase deposition (CLD) process, has been used as the catalyst. Results show that the CLD Ti/SiO₂ with appropriate Si/Ti molar ratio is an active catalyst for gas-phase epoxidation, achieving 9.8 % propylene conversion and 66.9 % PO selectivity with 40.3 % H₂O₂ utilization, which indicates that this amorphous Ti/SiO₂ catalyst deserves extensive studies in the future.

It revealed that Cu2+ provided by crystalline Cu2(OH)3Cl plays a key role in catalytic conversion of propylene to PO.

Water-Containing Cured Resin from Inverted Emulsion of Unsaturated Polyester Based on Divalent Metal Salt of Mono(hydroxyethyl)phthalate

Inverted emulsion, i.e., water-in-oil (W/O) type emulsion, was prepared from styrene solution of unsaturated polyester obtained from Mg salt of mono(hydroxyethyl)phthalate, ethylene glycol (EG), maleic anhydride (MA), phthalic anhydride (PA), and propylene oxide (PO). The inverted emulsion was much more stable than that of blank polyester obtained from EG, MA, PA, and PO, and further than the usual inverted emulsion prepared by treating styrene solution of commercial unsaturated polyester with triethanolamine. By polymerization, the inverted emulsion was transformed to a white solid which was dry to the touch. The water-containing cured resin obtained showed considerably higher physical and other properties than those of commercial unsaturated polyester.

Novel Biotreatment Process for Glycol Waters

Propylene oxide (PO), propylene glycol (PG), and polyols are produced from propylene via propylene chlorohydrin. Effluents from these plants contain biological oxygen demand/chemical oxygen demand (BOD/COD) loads besides high chloride concentrations. The high salinity poses severe problem to adopt conventional methods like activated sludge processes. Presently, a simple, economically viable and versatile microbiological process has been developed to get more than 90% biodegradation in terms of BOD/COD, utilizing specially developedPseudomonas andAerobacter. The process can tolerate high salinity up to 10 wt% NaCl or 5 wt% CaCl₂ and can withstand wide variations in_pH (5.5–11.0) and temperature (15–45°C). The biodegradation of glycols involves two steps. The enzymatic conversion of glycols to carboxylic and hydroxycarboxylic acids is aided byPseudo- omonas. Further degradation to CO₂ and H₂O by carboxylic acid utilizingAerobacter, and possible metabolic degradative pathway of glycols are discussed. Various process parameters obtained in the lab scale (50 L bioreactor) and pilot scale (20 m³ bioreactor), and unique features of our process are also discussed.
