Isomerization of cyclic hydrocarbons mediated by an AlCl3-based ionic liquid as catalyst

Cyclohexane and methylcyclopentane isomerization were carried out under mild conditions using an ionic liquid consisting of n-butylpyridinium chloride and aluminum chloride as catalyst. The ionic liquid showed reasonably high catalytic activity in both reactions with a selectivity to corresponding products of 100%. In the case of cyclohexane isomerization, the thermodynamic equilibrium methylcyclopentane ⇌cyclohexane was almost achieved. For the reaction of cyclohexane isomerization, the kinetic study was performed, and the rate constants and the activation energy of the process were determined. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Withasteroids of Physalis. VIII. Vamonolide

A new withasteroid — vamonolide — has been isolated from the epigeal part ofPhysalis angulata L. (Solanaceae). On the basis of spectral characteristics, its structure has been established as 5α,14α-dihydroxyl-l-oxo-6α,7α-epoxy-20R,22R-with-2-enolide.     

Study of the properties of pentasil-containing catalysts in reactions of transformation of hydrocarbons

The kinetics of transformations of propane and propylene on pentasils modified with zinc, Zn/HTsVM, and the H form of zeolite were investigated. Quantitative data were obtained which revealed significant differences for HTsVM and Zn-containing catalysts in the selectivity of transformations of propane with different degrees of its conversion. The promoting effect of Zn in the Zn/HTsVM system not only on the stage of dehydrogenation of propane into propylene, but also on subsequent transformations of propylene into aromatic hydrocarbons, was demonstrated. The absence of internal diffusion inhibition of the reaction in the conditions studied was demonstrated experimentally. It was shown that aromatization of propane takes place in the kinetic region.For previous communication, see [1].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 727–733, April, 1990.     

Isomerization ofn-butane on the SO4/ZrO2 catalyst promoted by IV Period metals

The catalytic activity of superacidic systems based on SO₄/ZrO₂ and modified by IV Period metals in isomerization ofn-butane was studied. At low temperatures of the reaction, the introduction of Fe³⁺, Sc³⁺, Co²⁺, or Zn²⁺ ions (1%) increases the yield of isobutane by 1.5 times due to the activation ofn-butane on the sites created by the promoting ions. The addition of Cr³⁺, V⁴⁺, or Mn²⁺ (1%) decreases the catalytic activity because of a decrease in the catalyst acidity, most likely, due to the reduction of surface sulfur species. The influence of the nature of the support and surface additives of SiO₂, TiO₂, and ZrO₂ on the activity and selectivity of the catalytic system inn-butane isomerization was studied.
