Synthesis and properties of novel dialkylaminocarbenium salts

Novel dialkylaminocarbenium salts with metallocomplex counter ions were prepared by the reaction of phosgene with either DMF or tetramethylurea in the presence of metal chlorides. Reactions of organosilicon amides with phosgene gave corresponding carbenium salts, while organosilicon ureas yielded aminoiminocarbenium salts. Dialkylaminochlorocarbenium salts were reduced with hydrosilanes to give dialkylaminocarbenium, salts and can be easily hydrolyzed to afford either amides or ureas. Pathways of the reaction with water and alcohols depend on the nature of reagent and the reaction conditions. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Au/CeO2/Y和Au-MFe2O4催化剂用于有氧条件下CH4还原NOx的研究

以CeO2／Y分子筛和MFe2O4(M=Ni,Co，Zn)为载体，制备Au／CeO2／Y和Au-MFe2O4负载型金催化剂．用CH4做还原剂，考察了它们在有氧条件下催化还原NOχ的活性．结果表明：在Au-Y中引人助剂Ce，使得Au／CeO2／Y的催化活性高于Au／Y；Au-CoFe2O4的催化活性高于Au-Fe2O3，反应温度为300℃时，NOχ在Au-CoFe2O4上的转化率达到39．70%．     

Pt/Al2O3蜂窝状催化剂上NO选择性催化还原反应动力学研究

采用多次涂层和浸渍法制备了蜂窝状Pt/Al2O3催化剂，并在高空速和大气体流量条件下对无梯度循环式反应器和积分反应器上催化剂的活性进行了比较。同时采用循环式反应器对动力学数据进行了测定。根据Langmuir-Hinshelwood模型和实验结果，推测了NO-C3H6-O2体系的SCR反应机理，并导出了NO和C3H6反应速率的数学表达式。据此所计算的理论模拟值能够与实验值很好地吻合。实验结果表明，氧气浓度对NO和C3H6的反应速率有明显的影响，二者均随着氧浓度c (O2)的增加达到峰值，再增加氧气浓度时，C3H6的反应速率r(C3H6)保持不变，而NO反应速率r (NO)却下降，而且下降的程度随着温度的升高而加剧。同时，随着氧气浓度增加，r (NO)达到最大值时的温度亦随之下降。     

Effect of the Secondary Reduction on the Enantioselectivity and Function of Additives in the Chiral Oxazaborolidine‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Borane Reduction of Ketones

The secondary reduction in the direct and oxazaborolidine‐catalyzed asymmetric borane reduction of ketones was investigated by the use of GC/MS tracing titration and control experiments. The results indicate that the secondary reduction affects the enantioselectivity only in noncoordinated solvents at low temperature and not under the usual catalytic reduction conditions because the intermediate alkoxyborane is unstable and quickly converts to borane and dialkoxyborane. The function of an alcohol additive in the asymmetric borane reduction of ketones is to consume excess borane in the reduction system thus inhibiting noncatalytic reduction, which leads to increased enantioselectivity in the catalytic reduction.     

Radical anions of nitrobenzothiazoles: EPR study of conjugative properties of benzothiazolyl systems

The electrochemical reduction in DMSO of the five isomers of nitrobenzothiazole (NBTZ) gave quite persistent radical anions that could be easily characterised by EPR spectroscopy. By contrast, the chemical reduction in alkaline solution, that is by t-BuOK in DMSO or by glucose and MeOK in MeOH, presented some problems with 6- and 4-NBTZ, and in the case of 2-NBTZ did not provide any detectable paramagnetic species. The internal consistency of coupling constants of the nitrobenzothiazole radical anions is in good agreement with the conjugative properties of the various benzothiazolyl systems and allows rectifying a recent EPR characterisation of 6-NBTZ radical anion.

A Method for Clustering and Screening of Long-dimensional Chemical Data Based on Fingerprints and Similarity Measurements

A method for the treatment of long-dimensional chemical data arrays is presented in this work with the aim of maximising classification models. The method is based on the construction of fingerprints and the subsequent generation of a similarity matrix. The similarity calculation has been modified through a scaling process to take into account different significance shown by the variables. The method was applied to spectral measurements of wines and several aspects were studied, namely: threshold considered in the construction of fingerprints and patterns, weighting factor used for scaling, normalisation method, etc. The application of both Principal Components Analysis and Soft-Independent Modelling of Class Analogies to the similarity matrices gave better classifications of the information than those obtained using original data.     

Synthesis of Inorganic Compounds (Metal, Oxide and Hydroxide) in Polyol Medium: A Versatile Route Related to the Sol-Gel Process

A new route for the preparation of powdery metal, oxide and hydroxide materials is presented as a chimie douce alternative to the sol-gel method. It consists in the reduction or the hydrolysis of a metal salt dissolved and heated in a polyol medium. It appears through zinc and cobalt examples that the use of acetate precursors contrarily to chloride or sulfate ones leads to the precipitation of a solid (metal, oxide, hydroxide) whose nature depends on two main factors: the hydrolysis ratio, defined by the water to metal molar ratio, and the reaction temperature. As in the sol-gel method, acetate leads to the formation of intermediate alkoxyacetate complex. The absence of water favors metal formation while its presence favors oxide or hydroxyacetate formation.
