Role of the solvent in thin-layer chromatography of steroids on alumina

The effects of different binary solvents on the retention behaviour of some steroids in thin-layer chromatography on alumina were studied. The slope of the linear relationship between the retention constant of the steroid and the logarithm of the volume fraction fo the polar component in the binary solvent mixture depends predominantly on the diluent. Linear relationships between the axis intercepts and slopes of particular steroids exists for all chromatographic systems examined. The slope of this relationships is a function of the retention constant of the steroid hydroxyl group.     

Polymer-Attached Thiazolium Salts-Catalyzed Addition of Aldehydes to α, β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds

A homogeneous catalyst, 3-benzyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methyl-1,3-thiazolium chloride, for addition of aldehydes to activated double bond, was attached to 20% cross-linked polystyrene-divinylbenzene copolymer. The attached catalysts could be easily removed from the reaction mixture. Polymer-attached thiazolium salts in the presence of triethylamine are active catalysts for addition of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes to α,β-unsaturated ketones to yield γ-diketones.     

载镍沸石上NH3-TPD脱附峰的非酸性探讨

NH_3-TPD技术表征固体催化剂的酸性似乎已很成熟,其实不然。如该技术表征HZSM-5沸石时,有作者观察到773K左右的高温脱氨峰,而有些作者则检测不到。诚然,各作者间所用试样及预处理条件等存在差异,但实验装置和实验操作条件不同带来的影响也不可忽视。此外,该技术在用于表征一些新的较复杂的催化剂时,其程脱谱也会呈现出新现象,这些现象有时是不能通过酸性来解释的,这是因为NH_3作为探针分子不仅具有碱性,同时还有还原性和配位性。本文对载镍沸石上NH_3-TPD谱图中出现的某些新峰进行了剖析和归属。     

Carbonyl allylation of aldehydes catalyzed by a silica-supported poly-γ-diphenylarsinopropylsiloxane palladium(0) complex

A silica-supported poly-γ-diphenylarsinopropylsiloxane palladium(0) complex has been prepared from γ-chloropropyltriethoxysilane via immobilization on fumed silica, followed by reacting with potassium diphenylarsenide and palladium chloride, and then the reduction with hydrazine hydrate. The palladium(0) complex has been found to catalyze the allylation of aldehydes via the formation of π-allylpalladium complexes, using allylic chlorides as allylating agent and SnCl₂ as reducing agent. This polymeric palladium complex can be recovered and reused.     

Olefin metathesis in room temperature ionic liquids using imidazolium-tagged ruthenium complexes

New recyclable imidazolium-tagged ruthenium catalysts have been developed to perform olefin metathesis in room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). High level of recyclability combined with a high reactivity were obtained in the ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of a variety of di- or tri-substituted and/or oxygen-containing dienes. Extremely low residual ruthenium levels were detected in the RCM products (average of 7.3 ppm per run). Several examples of olefin cross-metathesis (CM) have been also studied.     

Reaction of Trimethylbenzene over Alumina-Pillared Montmorillonite

The reaction of trimethylbenzene (TMB) over alumina-pillared montmorillonite (Al-PM) had been investigated in a fixed-bed flow reactor at 300 °C and atmospheric pressure. Al-PM calcined in the range 300-500 °C exhibited decreased layer distance, surface area and acid amount. The strong acid sites of Al-PM calcined at 500 °C were greatly diminished according to measurements of ammonia temperature-programmed desorption. Under our conditions the reaction proceeded mainly via isomerization and disproportionation with little dealkylation. The conversion of reactant decreased in the order 1,2,3-TMB ≥ 1,2,4-TMB > 1,3,5-TMB and the selectivity of isomerization in the order 1,2,3-TMB > 1,3,5-TMB > 1,2,4-TMB, corresponding to the order of diminishing thermal instability. Both the catalytic activity and the selectivity ratio of disproportionation to isomerization decreased with increased calcined temperature and time-on-stream. o-Xylene content in the total xylene produced from 1,2,4-TMB or 1,2,3-TMB greatly exceeded the composition at thermodynamic equilibrium. These results arc consistent with the decrease of both the strong acid sites and the pore size of Al-PM which exhibits the restricted transition state selectivity.     

Hydroarylation of alkynes and alkenes through alumina-sulfuric acid catalyzed regioselective CC bond formation

A highly atom-efficient synthetic protocol for hydroarylation of terminal-aryl alkynes and styrene through the regioselective CC bond formation via the electrophilic addition of naphthols and substituted phenols has been developed using alumina-sulfuric acid as a heterogeneous supported solid acid catalyst. This methodology shows excellent regioselectivity and affords the desired product in good to excellent yield. The heterogeneous catalyst can also be recycled efficiently without much loss of activity.

Effects of Hydrogen and Hydrogen Sulfide on Cumene Cracking Catalyzed by Pt/WO3-ZrO2. Control of Acidic and Metallic Functions

Synthesis of alumina aerogels was carried out by hydrolysis of aluminium isopropanolate and butanolate in benzene, methanol and isopropanol solutions as components of support precursors followed by gelation, drying under supercritical conditions and calcination. The influence of the type of precursor and solvent, synthesis temperature as well as drying and calcination temperature on bulk density, specific surface area and total pore volume was investigated.     

On the modification of solid adsorbents with volatile organics II. The role of the layer adsorbed

Summary This paper presents a continuation of our research dedicated to solid-adsorbent surface modification with what are commonly regarded as volatile and easily eluted organic compounds. Two porous adsorbents were used: natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) and alumina, while the adsorbates employed were n-hepatane and benzene. The results show that a simple injection of volatile adsorbate greatly alters the solid surface adsorption properties. The consequences of volatile modifier application are discussed on the grounds of adsorption isotherms determined at 313K. Possible implications to the tailor made adsorbents are outlined as well.Part I, J. Chromatogr.442, 105 (1988)
