Redox properties of hydrogenated quinoline derivatives — inhibitors in oxidation processes of hydrocarbons

Half-wave potentials of the one-electron electrochemical oxidation (E _1/2 ^ox) of hydroquinolines with different degrees of heterocycle hydrogenization as well as containing substituents of various natures in the benzene ring and heterocycle have been measured. Linear correlations betweenE _1/2 ^ox and the values of the Hammett polar -constants form- andp-substituents in dihydroquinolines and related sulfur-containing dithiolthiones were established. The character of the variation ofE _1/2 ^ox in the series of hydroquinolines was found to correlate with the characteristic features of the inhibiting action of these compounds in the liquid-phase oxidation of various hydrocarbons. However, in contrast to phenolic antioxidants for hydroquinolines, there is no dependence of the retardation period onE _1/2 ^oxin the oxidation of hydrocarbons at temperatures higher than 100 °C.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Soot deep oxidation catalyzed by molybdena and molybdates: a thermogravimetric investigation

Molybdena (MoO₃) and molybdates of bismuth (Bi₂Mo₃O₁₂), chromium (Cr₂Mo₃O₁₂), barium (BaMoO₄), manganese (MnMoO₄) and copper (Cu₃Mo₂O₉) were synthesized and characterized by X-ray powder diffractometry and infrared spectroscopy. They were then assessed as ‘loose contact' catalysts for soot deep oxidation (combustion) in air by thermogravimetry. A similar assessment was carried out on commercial chromia (Cr₂O₃) and tungsta (WO₃). Observed high oxidation activity of MoO₃, as compared to both Cr₂O₃ and WO₃, is attributed to the higher volatility (mobility) of MoO_x species. On similar grounds, observed high activity of MoO₃ and Cu₃Mo₂O₉, as compared to the other test molybdates, is explained. Relatively speaking, however, a higher activity was observed for Cu₃Mo₂O₉ than MoO₃, whereby soot ignition temperature decreased from 571°C (uncatalyzed oxidation) to 430°C, to occur within the temperature range of diesel exhaust (200–450°C). This observation is ascribed to copper-promoted redox conduct of Mo(VI) in the oxidation reaction of soot. Kinetics of the reaction was studied non-isothermally, and the kinetic parameters (A, k, ΔE and the reaction order) were calculated.     

Theoretical Study on the Dark Oxidation Reaction Mechanism of Ethers

1 INTRODUCTION Ethers are a kind of organic compounds that are easily oxidized under the conditions of lacking light and any additional excitement. According to dif- ferent mechanisms, the oxidation reactions could be classified into two types: photooxidation reaction and dark oxidation reaction. The former is the reaction with excited state oxygen molecule (singlet state), while the latter is the reaction with ground state oxygen molecule (triple state) without illuminance or any exciter…     

Reaction kinetics of the selective liquid phase hydrogenation of styrene oxide to β-phenethyl alcohol

Liquid phase hydrogenation of styrene oxide using 1% Pd/C and NaOH as a promoter was found to give selectively β-phenethyl alcohol (PEA) under very mild conditions (313–333 K; 0.68–5.5 MPa). The kinetics of this system was investigated by collecting initial rate data in a batch slurry reactor. Rate of hydrogenation was found to decrease beyond a certain concentration of both hydrogen (>3 MPa) and styrene oxide (>0.5 kmol/m³). A Langmuir–Hinshelwood type rate equation has been proposed based on the initial rate data in the kinetic regime. The model predictions agree very well with the experimentally observed concentration–time data indicating the applicability of the proposed rate model.     

Recent Progress in Direct Partial Oxidation of Methane to Methanol

The direct conversion of methane to methanol has attracted a great deal of attention for nearly a century since it was first found possible in 1902, and it is still a challenging task. This review article describes recent advancements in the direct partial oxidation of methane to methanol. The history of direct oxidation of methane and the difficulties encountered in the partial oxidation of methane to methanol are briefly summarized. Recently reported developments in gas-phase homogeneous oxidation, heterogeneous catalytic oxidation and liquid phase homogeneous catalytic oxidation of methane axe reviewed.     

Total synthesis of the marine alkaloid halitulin

The structure of the strongly cytotoxic marine alkaloid halitulin (1) has been confirmed by total synthesis and its absolute configuration determined as (15S). The synthesis follows a strategy previously reported by one of us and uses an efficient preparation of the quinoline-7,8-diol unit by modified Baeyer-Villiger and Skraup reactions. The O-benzyl protecting groups were removed in the last step of the synthesis by transfer hydrogenolysis without concomitant reduction of the quinoline ring. The method can be applied for the synthesis of halitulin analogues.     

LaSrBO4型复合氧化物的合成及其CO氧化活性研究

LaSrBO4(B=Cu、Ni、 Co、 Fe、 Mn、 Cr ) was studied with respect to their preparation, characteristics and catalytic oxidation activity by means of XRD, XPS, electric conductivity and activity evaluation. Results showed that the calcination temperature has great influence on the formation of the phases of such samples, and was associated with the radius of B ion. The greater the B ion radius, the higher the calcination temperature required for the formation of the phases. It was also found that the activity and the relative content of adsorptive oxygen and lattice oxygen on the sample surf are, the activation energy of electron conduction and the CO oxidation activity may vary with different B ions, and demonstrate a dual-peak pattern with the increase in the number of 3d electrons of the B ion.

Anomalous hydroalumination of methyl nopol ether with a LiAlH4-3AlBr3 system

Hydroalumination of methyl nopol ether with a LiAlH₄-3AlBr₃ system is accompanied by a skeleton rearrangement and gives 6-dibromoalumo-7-methoxymethyl-2-menthene. Further hydroalumination affords a mixture of 2,6- and 2,5-bis(dibromoalumo)-7-(methoxymethyl)menthanes in 8020 ratio. Hydrolysis and oxidation of these organoaluminum compounds were carried out.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 506–510, March, 1994.     

Environment of the P b center at the Si(111)/oxide interface

We assess several models for the environment of the P _b center (Si dangling bond center) at the interface of Si(111) with its oxide. The comparison of hyperfine constants observed with those predicted using large cluster models favors a local structure in which there is an Si-Si bond within the oxide close to the Si dangling bond. Such Si-Si bonds are also suggested by a number of other experiments and are consistent with the reactive layer model proposed to rationalize a range of oxidation studies.
