Trioxane was very useful C1 resource, however, the decomposition of it was always the challenging problem that facing researchers. Herein, a novel synthetic methodology for α, β-unsaturated ester preparation from trioxane and ester with mild catalysis of generated ammonium trifluoromethanesulfonate ionic liquid. The enolization of ester as well as the decomposition of trioxane could proceed easily in the presence of boryl trifluoromethanesulfonate and amine at 20–25℃. Then the enolate and decomposed formaldehyde occurs aldol reaction to form α, β-unsaturated ester. With this strategy, the yield and selectivity of product from various substrates including aliphatic esters,lactones and thioester could reach up to 85.2% and 90.1%.展开更多

The RT method can prepare MCM-41 materials containing large amounts of Mg while maintaining the structural characteristics of MCM-41 even at very low Si/Mg ratios(large Mg loadings), but the HT method cannot. The RT method can also give more active catalysts than the HT method, because the catalysts prepared by the RT method are more basic than those prepared by the HT one. The characterization indicates that Mg atoms in the Mg-MCM-41 prepared by the RT method exist as MgO disperses well on the wall surface of pores, while those in Mg-MCM-41 prepared by the HT method are included in the bulk with a smectite-like structure.展开更多

文摘Ketone coupling via aldol condensation is one of the promising routes to produce cyclic and value-added precursors for renewable hydrocarbon biofuels.A first-principles-based microkinetic modeling is performed to evaluate the surface-mediated reaction mechanisms and the role of water molecules in the observed activities for 2-pentanone and 3-pentanone aldol condensation on dehydroxylated MgO(111)surface and hydroxylated terminated surface[OH-MgO(111)].We have identified the enhancement of the surface OH group to MgO(111)surface catalytic activity by destabilizing the binding strength of reaction intermediates and reducing the energy barriers of rate-determining steps(proton transfer and dehydration steps).The 2-pentanone has one elementary step less in the complete reaction mechanism of aldol condensation and preferable energy barrier for proton transfer and dehydration steps,revealing 2-pentanone as terminal ketone is more reactive than 3-pentanone as central ketone.The water molecules dominated the OH-MgO(111)surface after further addition of water,leading to the reduction of turnover frequency of the aldol condensation dimer product as the loss of aldol condensation reaction intermediates in competitive adsorption with water molecules.

文摘A new route was developed for the synthesis of renewable decalin with cyclopentanone which can be derived from lignocellulose.It was found that 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydronaphthalene could be selectively produced by the hydrogenation/dehydration/rearrangement of [1,1-bi(cyclopentylidene)]-2-one(i.e.the selfaldol condensation product of cyclopentanone) over a dual-bed catalyst system.Among the investigated catalysts,the Ru/C and Amberlyst-15 resin exhibited the highest activities for the hydrogenation of [1,1-bi(cyclopentylidene)]-2-one to [1,1-bi(cyclopentan)]-2-ol and the dehydration/rearrangement of [1,1-bi(cyclopentan)]-2-ol to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydronaphthalene,respectively.Using Ru/C and Amberlyst-15 resin as the first bed and the second bed catalysts,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydronaphthalene was directly produced in high carbon yield(83.7%) under mild conditions(393 K,1 MPa).After being hydrogenated,the1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydronaphthalene was converted to decalin which can be used as additive to improve the thermal stability and volumetric heat value of jet fuel.

文摘The direct asymmetric aldol reaction between various aldehydes and acetone catalyzed by L-proline catalyst was successfully carried out in supercritical CO_(2) (scCO_(2)) and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R-134a) fluids.The enantioselectivity of 84% ee to the targeted product was achieved under 20 MPa,40 °C,and 15 mol% of the catalyst in supercritical CO_(2) (scCO_(2)) fluid.The effects of reaction parameters,such as temperature,pressure,catalyst loading and different substituted aldehydes on both enantioselectivity and aldol yield were discussed.The titled reaction was also performed in 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane,and the obtained results were compared with those in scCO2.This new reaction procedure provides an environmental asymmetric aldol reaction system as compared with that in organic solvents.
