NaY分子筛Lewis酸促进甲醇经亚硝酸甲酯分解制二甲氧基甲烷※

二甲氧基甲烷(Dimethoxymethane, DMM)作为一种基础有机化学品, 在树脂、溶剂、燃料等领域具有广泛用途. 传统合成方法采用甲醇甲醛缩合, 反应效率比较低. 亚硝酸甲酯(CH₃ONO)是一种性质活泼的气体, 可由甲醇、O₂、NO在无需催化剂的条件下获得, 其反应活性比甲醇高很多. 通过亚硝酸甲酯在常压条件下催化分解可以高效制备DMM. 本工作系统研究了不同类型分子筛的酸性对亚硝酸甲酯催化分解制备DMM的影响规律, 催化活性顺序为: NaY (97%)=HY (97%)>HZSM-5 (90%)>Hβ (89%)>NaZSM-5 (18%)>Naβ (6%), DMM选择性顺序为: NaY (53%)>HY (12%)=Naβ (12%)>NaZSM-5 (7%)>Hβ (4%)>HZSM-5 (3%), 其中NaY分子筛是一种性能优异的亚硝酸甲酯分解制备DMM的催化剂. 通过X射线衍射(XRD)、比表面及孔隙度分析(BET)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、吡啶红外(Py-FTIR)等结构表征手段, 发现分子筛的酸性位点是促进亚硝酸甲酯分解的活性中心, 而Na⁺和Al物种的Lewis酸是高选择性生成DMM的关键. 本工作可为DMM提供一种新的高效合成路线.     

The Formation of Methyl Ketones during Lipid Oxidation at Elevated Temperatures

Lipid oxidation and the resulting volatile organic compounds are the main reasons for a loss of food quality. In addition to typical compounds, such as alkanes, aldehydes and alcohols, methyl ketones like heptan-2-one, are repeatedly described as aroma-active substances in various foods. However, it is not yet clear from which precursors methyl ketones are formed and what influence amino compounds have on the formation mechanism. In this study, the formation of methyl ketones in selected food-relevant fats and oils, as well as in model systems with linoleic acid or pure secondary degradation products (alka-2,4-dienals, alken-2-als, hexanal, and 2-butyloct-2-enal), has been investigated. Elevated temperatures were chosen for simulating processing conditions such as baking, frying, or deep-frying. Up to seven methyl ketones in milk fat, vegetable oils, and selected model systems have been determined using static headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). This study showed that methyl ketones are tertiary lipid oxidation products, as they are derived from secondary degradation products such as deca-2,4-dienal and oct-2-enal. The study further showed that the position of the double bond in the precursor compound determines the chain length of the methyl ketone and that amino compounds promote the formation of methyl ketones to a different degree. These compounds influence the profile of the products formed. As food naturally contains lipids as well as amino compounds, the proposed pathways are relevant for the formation of aroma-active methyl ketones in food.     

Homogeneous and unimolecular gas‐phase thermal decomposition kinetics of methyl benzoylformate: experimental and theoretical study

The kinetics of the gas‐phase thermal decomposition of the α‐ketoester methyl benzoylformate was carried out in a static system with reaction vessel deactivated with allyl bromide, and in the presence of the free radical inhibitor propene. The rate coefficients were determined over the temperature range of 440–481 °C and pressures from 32 to 80 Torr. The reaction was found to be homogenous, unimolecular and obey a first‐order rate law. The products are methyl benzoate and CO. The temperature dependence of the rate coefficient gives the following Arrhenius parameters: log₁₀ k (s^?1) = 13.56 ± 0.31 and E_a (kJ mol^?1) = 232.6 ± 4.4. Theoretical calculations of the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters are in good agreement with the experimental values using PBE1PBE/6‐311++g(d,p). A theoretical Arrhenius plot was constructed at this level of theory, and the good agreement with the experimental Arrhenius plot suggests that this model of transition state may describe reasonably the elimination process. These results suggest a concerted non‐synchronous semi‐polar three‐membered cyclic transition state type of mechanism. The most advanced coordinate is the bond breaking C^δ+‐‐‐^δ‐OCH₃ with an evolution of 66.7%, implying this as the limiting factor of the elimination process.

Reaction of OH radical and ozone with methyl salicylate – a DFT study

A theoretical study on the reaction mechanism of methyl salicylate (MeSA), a green leaf volatile organic compound with OH radical and ozone, has been carried out using density functional theory methods using B3LYP, M06‐2X and MPW1K functionals with 6‐311++G(d,p) basis set. The atmospheric degradation pathways of MeSA with OH radical are studied under two different pathways, viz. H‐atom abstraction and electrophilic addition of OH radical. The hydrogen abstraction from –OH group is found to be the dominant reaction channel with small barrier height. Likewise, the electrophilic addition of OH radicals at the para position of MeSA is found to be favourable rather than the ortho and meta positions because of the small barrier height. However, the reaction of MeSA with respect to the addition of O₃ is initiated only through the cycloaddition to the C?C bond, resulting in primary ozonide. The Arrhenius plot for most of the addition reaction shows positive temperature dependence, while for the abstraction reaction, it exhibits negative temperature dependence over the temperature range of 278–350 K. The calculated theoretical rate constants are in good agreement with available experimental data. Overall, the addition of both OH radical and ozone possesses ability to degrade MeSA, but slower when compared with the Cl radical. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Gas‐phase elimination kinetics of selected aliphatic α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes catalyzed by hydrogen chloride

The gas‐phase elimination of 2‐methyl‐2‐propenal catalyzed by HCl yields propene and CO gas, while E‐2‐pentenal with the same catalyst gives butene and CO gas. The kinetics determinations were carried out in a static system with the reaction vessels deactivated with allyl bromide and the presence of the free radical inhibitor toluene. Temperature and pressure ranges were 350.0–410.0 °C and 34–76 Torr. The elimination reactions are homogeneous and unimolecular, and follow a first‐order rate law. The rate coefficients for the reactions are expressible by the following Arrhenius equations: Data from the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of these catalyzed elimination reactions implies a mechanism of a concerted five‐membered cyclic transition state structure for the formation of the corresponding olefin and carbon monoxide.

Turning Tryptophanase into Odor‐Generating Biosensors

An odor‐based sensor system that exploits the metabolic enzyme tryptophanase (TPase) as the key component is reported. This enzyme is able to convert an odorless substrate like S‐methyl‐L ‐cysteine or L ‐tryptophan into the odorous products methyl mercaptan or indole. To make a biosensor, TPase was biotinylated so that it could be coupled with a molecular recognition element, such as an antibody, to develop an ELISA‐like assay. This method was used for the detection of an antibody present in nM concentrations by the human nose. TPase can also be combined with the enzyme pyridoxal kinase (PKase) for use in a coupled assay to detect adenosine 5′‐triphosphate (ATP). When ATP is present in the low μM concentration range, the coupled enzymatic system generates an odor that is easily detectable by the human nose. Biotinylated TPase can be combined with various biotin‐labeled molecular recognition elements, thereby enabling a broad range of applications for this odor‐based reporting system.

以丙烯酸和甲醇为原料,强酸性阳离子交换树脂Amberlyst-15为催化剂,对苯二酚为阻聚剂,合成丙烯酸甲酯。 考察了醇酸摩尔比、催化剂用量和温度对反应过程的影响,在实验范围内,随着温度或者催化剂用量的增加,反应速率加快,丙烯酸的转化率也不断提高。 醇酸摩尔比的增加能提高丙烯酸的转化率,反应速率出现先增加后减缓的现象。 与此同时,建立该催化酯化反应的Pseudo-Homogeneous（PH）的理想和非理想以及Langmuir-Hinshelwood（LH）反应动力学模型,辨识得到相应反应动力学方程。 经比较,采用活度替代物质的量浓度的LH模型的平均相对偏差(MRD)最小,计算值为1.466%,最适合实际反应。     

BiOI/Bi_2WO_6对甲基橙和苯酚的光催化降解及光催化机理(英文)

采用简单的沉积方法制备了不同碘化氧铋含量的BiOI/Bi2WO6光催化剂,通过X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、高分辨透射电子显微镜(HR-TEM)、紫外-可见漫反射光谱(UV-Vis DRS)和BET比表面积测量对其进行了表征。在紫外和可见光的照射下,使用甲基橙和苯酚的光催化降解评价了BiOI/Bi2WO6催化剂的光催化性能。结果表明:与商业P25和纯Bi2WO6相比,13.2%BiOI/Bi2WO6光催化剂具有更高的紫外和可见光催化性能。这明显增加的光催化活性主要归功于光生电子和空穴在Bi2WO6和BiOI界面上的有效转移,降低了电子-空穴对的复合。基于BiOI和Bi2WO6的能带结构,提出了光生载流子的一种转移过程。自由基清除剂的实验表明,·OH,h+,·O2-和H2O2,特别是h+,共同支配了甲基橙和苯酚的光催化降解过程。
