Cyclohexane transformations over metal oxide catalysts. 2. Selective cyclohexane ring opening to form n-hexane over mono- and bimetallic rhodium catalysts

The activity of monometallic Rh and Pt catalysts and bimetallic Pt—Rh catalysts on oxide supports in cyclohexane ring opening to form n-hexane was studied. The Rh-containing catalysts are highly active and selective in this reaction. Cyclohexane dehydrogenation predominates in the case of the Pt catalysts. The use of the bimetallic alumina-supported Pt—Rh catalysts allows one to minimize the contribution of cyclohexane cracking and to enhance the selectivity for n-hexane with the yield of the latter slightly depending on the metal ratio in the bimetallic system under the experimental conditions.

本文基于乙二醇／水与丙三醇／水两组二元体系在不同温度下的实验数据,对超额焓数据应用局部作用模型拟合,并分析拟合效果与拟合参数变化情况,发现Wilson模型拟合效果较好。通过Wilson方程的活度系数表达形式,推算了两组体系的气液平衡,并进而计算了两组体系的焓浓图与(火用)浓图。     

Hydro-de-halogenation and consecutive deprotection of chlorinated N-amido-pyrrolidin-2-ones with Raney-Ni: an effective approach to gabapentin

The benzoylamino group was identified as a useful radical cyclization auxiliary that can be smoothly removed on hydro-de-halogenation of chlorinated N-substituted-pyrrolidin-2-ones with Raney-Ni. This methodology was successfully implemented in a new and appealing route to the anti-epileptic drug gabapentin.     

A system with non-aqueous birefringent microemulsions

Non-aqueous birefringent microemulsions were found in a system ofp-xylene, glycerol, triethanolammonium oleate and oleic acid. The microemulsions showed long term stability once formed, but failed to form spontaneously when the components were contacted. After partial separation by centrifugation, no signs of spontaneous reformation were found.     

短孔道Pt/W-s-SBA-15催化剂的合成及甘油催化氢解制1,3-丙二醇性能的研究

合成了孔道平行于短轴方向的W原位掺杂的介孔SBA-15分子筛(W-s-SBA-15), 以其为载体制备了Pt/W-s-SBA-15催化剂, 考察了催化剂中Pt、W负载量变化对甘油氢解制1,3-丙二醇(1,3-PDO)性能的影响. 采用多种手段对催化剂的形貌、活性组分Pt和W的存在状态、催化剂的酸性等性质进行了系统的表征. 催化剂评价结果表明, 随着Pt、W负载量的增加, 甘油的总转化率和液相转化率(CTL)提高, 而1,3-PDO选择性呈先升高后降低的火山型变化趋势. 在Pt负载量为4.0 wt%、W/Si物质的量比为1/480的4Pt/W-s-SBA-15(1/480)催化剂上, 在433 K、H₂压力4.0 MPa、反应时间24 h的条件下, 甘油氢解制1,3-PDO的得率可达49.0%. 根据表征结果, 我们发现在Pt/W-s-SBA-15催化剂上的甘油转化率与Pt活性比表面积直接相关, 而小的Pt粒径、Pt与单分散WO₄之间密切的协同作用, 则有助于提高1,3-PDO的选择性.     

From glycerol to value-added products

Today, industrial plants that produce glycerol are closing down and others are opening that use glycerol as a raw material, owing to the large surplus of glycerol formed as a by-product during the production of biodiesel. Research efforts to find new applications of glycerol as a low-cost feedstock for functional derivatives have led to the introduction of a number of selective processes for converting glycerol into commercially valued products. This Minireview describes a selection of such achievements and shows how glycerol will be a central raw material in future chemical industries.     

Hyperbranched Polyesters Based on Adipic Acid and Glycerol

Summary: Hyperbranched polyesters with controlled molecular weights and properties have been prepared by an A₂ + B₃ approach by reacting glycerol and adipic acid without any solvents in the presence of tin catalysts. The hyperbranched polyesters have been evaluated by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) analysis and NMR spectroscopy in order to determine molecular weights and degrees of branching.

铁促进的Cu/SiO2-Al2O3催化剂上高效气相合成3-甲基吲哚

以苯胺和生物质来源的丙三醇为反应原料,在铁促进的Cu/SiO2-Al2O3催化剂上气相合成了3-甲基吲哚,采用X射线光电子能谱、氢气程序升温还原(H2-TPR)、X射线衍射、透射电子显微镜、电感耦合等离子体发射光谱(ICP)、氨程序升温脱附(NH3-TPD)以及热重(TG)分析等技术对催化剂进行了表征.结果表明,向Cu/SiO2-Al2O3催化剂加入铁助剂不仅能明显提高催化剂的活性和选择性,而且能大大改善催化剂的稳定性.在Cu-Fe/ SiO2-Al2O3催化剂上,反应3h,3-甲基吲哚收率能够达到48％,而且催化剂经过再生可以重复使用,即使反应43 h,其产物收率也没有明显的降低.各种表征表明,向Cu/SiO2-Al2O3加入铁助剂能增强铜和载体之间的相互作用,由此大大提高了铜粒子在载体表面的分散度,并且有效减少了反应过程中铜组分的流失;此外,铁助剂还能显著减少催化剂的中强酸中心数,增加弱酸中心数,从而提高3-甲基吲哚的选择性,并且抑制了积炭的形成.
