Chlorination of aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic compounds, and olefins in subcritical carbon tetrachloride

The reactions of various substrates including aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic compounds, and olefins were investigated in subcritical carbon tetrachloride. Ketones and sulfones were stable under the employed conditions. The coupling adducts between olefins and carbon tetrachloride were obtained from the reactions of olefins.     

Anion radicals and dianions as electron transfer reagents

The catalytic regeneration of depolarizers by certain substrates has been demonstrated by means of cyclic voltammetry. As depolarizers we have employed anion radicals of aromatic hydrocarbons, heteroaromatic compounds, ketones, esters, nitriles, and olefins, and dianions of aromatic hydrocarbons, heteroaromatic compounds, ketones, and esters. As substrates we have investigated simple aromatic and aliphatic halides, 1,2- and 1,3-dihalides, carbon dioxide, and activated olefins. A requirement for the observation of a catalytic wave is that the reduced substrate undergoes a practically irreversible reaction after the reaction with the reduced depolarizer; for simple halides it is a cleavage reaction, for 1,2- and 1,3-dihalides an elimination, for carbon dioxide an addition, and for activated olefins a coupling. Electrochemical investigations of these kinds of reactions may be of interest in connection with the mechanism of several types of reactions in organic chemistry.     

Application of capillary gas chromatography mass spectrometry/computer techniques to synoptic survey of organic material in bed sediment

A bed sediment sample taken from an area impacted by heavy industrial activity was analyzed for organic compounds of environmental significance. Extraction was effected on a Soxhlet apparatus using a freeze-dried sample. The Soxhlet extract was fractionated by silica gel micro-column adsorption chromatography. Separation and identification of the organic compounds was accomplished by capillary gas chromatography/mass spectrometry techniques. More than 50 compounds were identified; these include saturated hydrocarbons, olefins, aromatic hydrocarbons, alkylated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and oxygenated compounds such as aldehydes and ketones. The role of bed sediments as a source or sink for organic pollutants is discussed.     

The naphthalenechromium tricarbonyl-catalyzed addition of carbon tetrachloride to olefins at ambient temperatures

Naphthalenechromium tricarbonyl is an effective catalyst for the addition reaction of carbon tetrachloride to olefins to form 1,1,1,3-tetrachloroalkanes. Mechanistic aspects of this reaction are discussed.     

Polymerization with Fischer-Tropsch olefins – a new challenge in polymer science

Co- and ter-polymerization of ethylene with Fischer-Tropsch derived olefins having odd carbon number and branched olefins are investigated. A method of preparation of a robust, high productivity Ziegler-Natta catalyst suitable for ethylene co-polymerization with Fischer Tropsch olefin is reviewed. In supporting titanium tetrachloride, an attempt was made to control the titanium oxidation state. The resulting experimental data were fitted to a sub-sites model that associates titanium oxidation state with catalyst activity.     

Mo和Ni改性的HZSM-5催化剂对煤热解焦油的改质

考察了Mo和Ni改性的HZSM-5催化剂对煤热解焦油的改质性能,分析了催化改质前后焦油中轻质芳烃分布的变化规律。结果表明,经HZSM-5催化剂褐煤(XM)热解轻质芳烃总量的增加率为220%,这与煤热解产物在HZSM-5催化剂中发生烯烃和烷烃的芳构化以及酚羟基脱除等作用有关。负载活性金属Mo和Ni后,可以有效促进轻质芳烃的生成;Ni对焦油中带脂肪侧链化合物具有更强的裂解作用,而Mo则有利于带侧链化合物如甲苯和二甲苯的形成。焦煤(FX)热解过程中轻质芳烃的释放量分别是XM煤和年轻烟煤(PS)的2.2和2.4倍。经催化改质后,XM煤产物中轻质芳烃产率明显大于PS煤,并接近FX煤;这主要是因为XM煤结构中含有较多的含氧官能团和脂肪结构,在HZSM-5作用下可催化形成轻质芳烃。     

Microwave-enhanced ruthenium-catalysed atom transfer radical additions

Improvement of mineral oil saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons determination in edible oil by liquid–liquid–gas chromatography with dual detection

Mineral oils, which are mainly composed of saturated hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons, are widespread food contaminants. Liquid chromatography coupled to gas chromatography with flame ionization detection represents the method of choice to determine these two families. However, despite the high selectivity of this technique, the presence of olefins (particularly squalene and its isomers) in some samples as in olive oils, does not allow the correct quantification of the mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons fraction, requiring additional off‐line tools to eliminate them. In the present research, a novel on‐line liquid chromatography coupled to gas chromatography method is described for the determination of hydrocarbon contamination in edible oils. Two different liquid chromatography columns, namely a silica one (to retain the bulk of the matrix) and a silver‐ion one (which better retains the olefins), were coupled in series to obtain the mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons hump free of interfering peaks. Furthermore, the use of a simultaneous dual detection, flame ionization detector and triple quadrupole mass spectrometer allowed us not only to quantify the mineral oil contamination, but also to evaluate the presence of specific markers (i.e. hopanes) to confirm the petrogenic origin of the contamination.     

Molecular complexes of several aromatic hydrocarbon-ketone systems

The association constants (K_AD) between several aromatic hydrocarbons and several ketones were determined by a NMR spectrometric method in carbon tetrachloride as a solvent. Thermodynamic parameters for the formation of complexes for benzene-acetone and benzene-actophenone are also reported. The effect of competing complexation with the solvent is discussed. A new equation, which was derived without assuming that the concentration of one solute is far greater than that of the other, was used for the computation of the K_AD-values.     

Transformations of Straight-Run Naphthas on Indium-Modified Pentasils

The influence exerted by the procedure of introducing indium into high-silica zeolite of the Pentasil type on its acid properties and catalytic activity in transformation of straight-run naphthas into lower olefins and aromatic hydrocarbons was studied.     

Preparation and new transformations of trichloromethyl-substituted aliphatic,aromatic, and heterocyclic compounds (review)

A summary is given for new syntheses of heterocycles starting with trichloromethylarenes and the readily available products of the addition of carbon tetrachloride to functional derivatives of olefins. Applications of the electrophilic trichloromethylation for benzene and thiophene compounds are considered. Information is given on the reactions of trichloromethylarenes with heteronucleophiles, in particular, leading to the synthesis of diaryl-1,2,4- and diaryl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles. The reaction of trichloromethylarenes and pyridines to give the corresponding aromatic aldehydes and N-(4-pyridyl)pyridinium dichloride is discussed.Dedicated to Professor A. R.

1H NMR和GC-MS法分析表征煤液化油

采用经典柱色谱法对煤液化循环油和“加氢”后的循环油进行族组成分离,将其分离成饱和烃、芳香烃和极性物3个组分,并用核磁共振波谱仪对各个组分进行定性分析,同时用气质联用分析方法初步确定了饱和烃和芳香烃两个馏分的主要物质组成。结果表明:循环油饱和烃部分主要由C12~C27直链烷烃组成,芳香烃部分主要组成是烷基取代的氢化单环芳烃及少量的多环芳烃。而循环油经420℃“加氢”后饱和烃部分除了含C12~C27的直链烷烃,还有一些直链烷烃的异构体和环烷烃,芳香烃部分主要是双环、三环、四环芳烃,单环芳烃则完全消失。     

Selective conversion of light gasoline into aromatic hydrocarbons over shape selective zeolites, I. Catalytic activity of various zeolites for aromatization of light gasoline, heavy gasoline and coker naphtha

Studies about the development of a new effective aromatization process for converting gasoline rich in light saturated hydrocarbons, using modified molecular shapeselective zeolites, have been carried out. Naphthas with olefins and naphthenes are potential feedstocks. The yield of aromatic hydrocarbons increases with decreasing hydrogen content of the feed. Zn-SABO and Zn-ZSM type zeolites have been shown to be excellent catalysts for the process.     

Comparative estimation of the efficiency of structure formation and dispersion interactions in organic solvents of varying nature and polarity

The solubilities of n-tetracosane and dotriacontane in more than 50 solvents (aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, their halo derivatives, alcohols, ethers, ketones, amines, etc.) miscible with liquid aliphatic hydrocarbons were determined at 293±1 K. The increments of the methylene group in hypothetical extraction systems n-octane — solvent and the free energies of methylene group transfer from solvent to n-octane were calculated. The values were found to vary within wide limits. For the overwhelming majority of polar and low-polar solvents, the energies are negative due to self-association of solvents according to the type of spatial structure. Positive energies are due to the closer packing of some low-polar solvent molecules (carbon tetrachloride and cyclohexane) in the structure compared to octane and to the absence of molecular self-association. The closer packing of these molecules leads to higher efficiency of dispersion interactions between the solvents and paraffins compared to octane.     

Electrochemistry as a correlation tool with the catalytic activities in [RuCl2(p-cymene)(PAr3)]-catalysed Kharasch additions

On assembling polychlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons from carbon tetrachloride via dichlorocarbene intermediary by a solvothermal reaction: a reaction pattern from carbene-ylide interconversion

[reaction: see text] The forced one-electron reduction of carbon tetrachloride with sodium in a sealed steel vessel is shown to have a narrow window of conditions to arrest the reaction at the polychlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons (PCAHs), as well as to prevent the reaction from proceeding all the way to the final stage of graphite and other carbon solids. The intermediates are quenched with toluene or benzene to give electrophilic substitution products and with water to give a quinomethine as the major product. The product pattern leads us to propose the carbene, perchlorobenzo[c,d]pyren-6-ylidene, or its reversible dimer as the major intermediate among others, that survives the severe conditions until coming into contact with these nucleophiles. Mainly from aromatic resonance stabilization, the carbene is proposed to have a delocalized singlet state analogous to a ylide electronic structure and, thus, undergoes observed ionic reactions instead of typical carbene reactions. This work serves as a mechanistic link on the structural evolution of carbon networks between molecular chemistry and nanomaterial chemistry.     

酸催化及竞争吸附对CeY分子筛吸附脱硫性能的影响

采用液相离子交换(LPIE)法制备了CeY分子筛,并研究烯烃和芳烃对其吸附脱硫性能的影响. 利用固定床穿透曲线技术研究吸附剂的脱硫性能,结果表明：烯烃和芳烃的存在均导致吸附剂吸附硫容量减少,然而,烯烃的影响明显强于芳烃. 采用原位傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱技术研究噻吩、环己烯和苯的吸附行为,结果发现：烯烃和芳烃降低吸附剂脱硫性能的实质分别为吸附剂表面酸性导致的酸催化反应和π-络合吸附的芳烃分子与硫化物分子的竞争吸附. 另外,烯烃的影响取决于吸附剂的表面酸性,尤其是强B酸(Brönsted 酸)中心.这是由于B酸中心会导致烯烃和噻吩发生质子化反应,且质子化物种易于进一步发生低聚反应. 生成的低聚物覆盖吸附活性中心导致吸附剂对其它噻吩分子的吸附能力降低.     

Computer-assisted retention prediction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in supercritical fluid chromatography using carbon dioxide as the mobile phase

Summary The dependence of the capacity factor of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on column temperature and on the density of the mobile phase in supercritical-fluid chromatography was investigated using carbon dioxide as the mobile phase. Logarithmic capacity factors of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were obtained as a linear function of the reciprocal column temperature at a constant molar volume of carbon dioxide.The application of the Retention Prediction System to supercritical-fluid chromatography is demonstrated: one can predict the retention of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons using equations including column temperature, density and the physico-chemical properties of the solutes as the parameters.
