- Kinetics of free radicals produced by infrared multiphoton-induced decompositions. 1. Reactions of allyl radicals with nitrogen dioxide and bromine
-
A new versatile technique to study quantitatively the gaseous reactions of polyatomic free radicals is described in detail. Free radicals are generated homogeneously in a tubular reactor by the infrared multiphoton-induced decomposition (MPD) of suitable radical precursors. The concentrations of reactants and products (both stable and labile) are monitored by using photoionization mass spectrometry. Reactions of the allyl radical, generated by the MPD of allyl bromide, with nitrogen dioxide and bromine have been studied at 300 K. The measured rate constants are 3.9(±0.8) × 10-11 cm3 s-1 for the C3H5 + NO2 reaction and 9.0(±1.8) × 10-12 cm3 s-1 for the C3H5 + Br2 reaction. The potential of the experimental facility for other kinds of studies is discussed.

- Synthesis of C-4-Allyloxy-3 Methoxyphenylcalix[4] resorcinarene from Vanillin and Its application as adsorbent of Pb(II) metal cation
-
C-4-allyloxy-3-methoxyphenylcalix[4]resorcinarene had been synthesized from vanillin and its application as adsorbent for Pb(II) metal ion had been carried out. The synthesis was conducted in three steps to obtain the product as pink solid in 78.17% yield. The structure elucidation of the product was performed by IR,1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. Adsorption experiments were carried out in a batch system under variation of medium acidity, interaction time and initial metal concentration. Adsorption kinetics was studied using Lagergren and Ho model, while adsorption isotherm was analyzed by Langmuir and Freundlich equations. The result showed that the Pb(II) adsorption was optimum at pH 4 and at interaction time of 30 minutes. The kinetic study showed that the adsorption of Pb(II) followed pseudo-second order of Ho model with adsorption rate (k) of 1.176 g mg-1 minute-1 . The adsorption followed the Langmuir isotherm model with equilibrium constant (K) was 7.28?10-5 L mol-1 , adsorption capacity (qm) was 1.538 mmol g-1 (318.67 mg/g) and adsorption energy was 33.67 kJ mol-1 .

- Kinetics of the Reactions of Unsaturated Hydrocarbon Free Radicals (Vinyl, Propargyl, and Allyl) with Molecular Bromine
-
The kinetics of the reactions of three unsaturated free radicals (vinyl, propargyl, and allyl) with molecular bromine have been studied by using a tubular reactor coupled to a photoionization mass spectrometer.The radicals were homogeneously generated by the pulsed photolysis of precursor molecules at 193 nm.The subsequent decays of the radical concentrations were monitored in time-resolved experiments as a function of Br2 concentration to obtain the rate constants of these Br-atom metathesis reactions.Rate constants were measured as a function of temperature to obtain Arrhenius parameters.The following rate constant expressions were obtained (units of the preexponential factor are cm3 molecule-1 s-1 and activation energies are kJ mol-1; the temperature range covered in each study is also indicated): C2H3 + Br2 , C3H3 + Br2 , and C3H5 +/- Br2 .The kinetics of R + Br2 reactions is reviewed, and the factors governing the reactivity of polyatomic free radicals in R + Br2 reactions are discussed.

- Generalized route to metal nanoparticles with liquid behavior
-
We report the generalized synthesis of metal nanoparticles with liquid-like behavior. We introduce a thiol-containing ionic liquid, N,N-dioctyl-N-(3-mercaptopropyl)-N-methylammonium bromide, which serves as a ligand for platinum, gold, palladium, and rhodium nanoparticles. A rapid reduction using THF-soluble metal salts in the presence of the thiol generates nanoparticles with tunable sizes and size distributions. The as-synthesized nanoparticles are a solid and decompose before melting. Upon exchange of the halide anion for an amphiphilic sulfonate anion, however, the nanoparticles exhibit liquid-like properties at room temperature. The liquids have high metal loadings; for example, the 2.7 nm platinum nanoparticle liquid is 36% platinum by mass. Copyright

- O-eugenol: A versatile molecule for production of polyfunctional alkenes via organometallic catalysis
-
In this study, the synthesis and cross metathesis of o-eugenol (2-allyl-6-methoxy phenol) has been investigated. Synthesis was conducted through two stages of reaction. The first step in the synthetic procedure was to obtain the intermediate 1-but-3-enyl-2-methoxy benzene. Then the heating of the obtained intermediate will initiate will initiate a [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement to give the o-eugenol with a good yield. The ruthenium-catalyzed cross-metathesis of o-eugenol derivatives with electron deficient olefins including methyl acrylate, acrylonitrile and acrylamides was also reported. In addition the polymerization of 1-allyl-2-(allyloxy)-3-methoxybenzene was possible by acyclic diene metathesis and this allowed to synthesize a polymer from a natural substrate. All the resulting structures were supported by the spectroscopic data.

- Synthesis and characterization of ferroelectric liquid crystalline siloxanes containing 4-hydroxyphenyl(2S,3S)-2-chloro-3-methylvalerate
-
New series of organosiloxane ferroelectric liquid crystalline materials have been synthesized, and their mesomorphic and physical properties have been characterized. These new series contain bis-siloxane or tris-siloxane unit attached to the flexible alkyl chain end of (2S,3S)-2-chloro-3-methylvalerate. The siloxane molecule induction is helpful to the chiral smectic C (S C) formation and chiral SC* stabilization, and it simultaneously causes the liquid crystal temperature range of chiral S C* to be broader. The siloxane member is helpful in reducing the smectic C (SC) transation shift temperature, and the molecule containing tris-siloxane units shows better effect than the bis-siloxane one. The synthesis and characterization of the new FLCs materials which exhibit SC* phase at room temperature and higher spontaneous polarization are presented.

Synthesis of supported Pd-based bimetallic catalysts is of great importance in the heterogeneous catalysis field owing to their optimal geometric and electronic effects. Downsizing active metals to ultrasmall nanocluster (2-reduction at 400–500 °C. Through the nitrogen-fixing strategy, we prepare 9 sub-2 nm Pd-based bimetallic nanocluster catalysts by conventional impregnation process. The prepared supported bimetallic Pd-Pb nanocluster catalyst exhibit a high turnover frequency of 1092 h?1 for the semihydrogenation of phenylacetylene under a mild condition (30 °C, 5 bar H2), along with a high selectivity of >93% to styrene, demonstrating the alloying and small-size effects in the bimetallic nanocluster catalysts.

- Enantioselective synthesis of ammonium cations
-
Control of molecular chirality is a fundamental challenge in organic synthesis. Whereas methods to construct carbon stereocentres enantioselectively are well established, routes to synthesize enriched heteroatomic stereocentres have garnered less attention1–5. Of those atoms commonly present in organic molecules, nitrogen is the most difficult to control stereochemically. Although a limited number of resolution processes have been demonstrated6–8, no general methodology exists to enantioselectively prepare a nitrogen stereocentre. Here we show that control of the chirality of ammonium cations is easily achieved through a supramolecular recognition process. By combining enantioselective ammonium recognition mediated by 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol scaffolds with conditions that allow the nitrogen stereocentre to racemize, chiral ammonium cations can be produced in excellent yields and selectivities. Mechanistic investigations demonstrate that, through a combination of solution and solid-phase recognition, a thermodynamically driven adductive crystallization process is responsible for the observed selectivity. Distinct from processes based on dynamic and kinetic resolution, which are under kinetic control, this allows for increased selectivity over time by a self-corrective process. The importance of nitrogen stereocentres can be revealed through a stereoselective supramolecular recognition, which is not possible with naturally occurring pseudoenantiomeric Cinchona alkaloids. With practical access to the enantiomeric forms of ammonium cations, this previously ignored stereocentre is now available to be explored.

- Reaction Acceleration Promoted by Partial Solvation at the Gas/Solution Interface
-
The kinetics of organic reactions of different types in microvolumes (droplets, thin films, and sealed tubes) show effects of gas/solution interfacial area, reaction molecularity and solvent polarity. Partial solvation at the gas/solution interface is a major contributor to the 104-fold reaction acceleration seen in bimolecular but not unimolecular reactions in microdroplets. Reaction acceleration can be used to manipulate selectivity by solvent choice.

- Clean protocol for deoxygenation of epoxides to alkenes: Via catalytic hydrogenation using gold
-
The epoxidation of olefin as a strategy to protect carbon-carbon double bonds is a well-known procedure in organic synthesis, however the reverse reaction, deprotection/deoxygenation of epoxides is much less developed, despite its potential utility for the synthesis of substituted olefins. Here, we disclose a clean protocol for the selective deprotection of epoxides, by combining commercially available organophosphorus ligands and gold nanoparticles (Au NP). Besides being successfully applied in the deoxygenation of epoxides, the discovered catalytic system also enables the selective reduction N-oxides and sulfoxides using molecular hydrogen as reductant. The Au NP catalyst combined with triethylphosphite P(OEt)3 is remarkably more reactive than solely Au NPs. The method is not only a complementary Au-catalyzed reductive reaction under mild conditions, but also an effective procedure for selective reductions of a wide range of valuable molecules that would be either synthetically inconvenient or even difficult to access by alternative synthetic protocols or by using classical transition metal catalysts.

- Nickel-Catalyzed Asymmetric Reductive 1,2-Carboamination of Unactivated Alkenes
-
Starting from diverse alkene-tethered aryl iodides and O-benzoyl-hydroxylamines, the enantioselective reductive cross-electrophilic 1,2-carboamination of unactivated alkenes was achieved using a chiral pyrox/nickel complex as the catalyst. This mild, modular, and practical protocol provides rapid access to a variety of β-chiral amines with an enantioenriched aryl-substituted quaternary carbon center in good yields and with excellent enantioselectivities. This process reveals a complementary regioselectivity when compared to Pd and Cu catalysis.

- Piperazine-promoted gold-catalyzed hydrogenation: The influence of capping ligands
-
Gold nanoparticles (NPs) combined with Lewis bases, such as piperazine, were found to perform selective hydrogenation reactions via the heterolytic cleavage of H2. Since gold nanoparticles can be prepared by many different methodologies and using different capping ligands, in this study, we investigated the influence of capping ligands adsorbed on gold surfaces on the formation of the gold-ligand interface. Citrate (Citr), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and oleylamine (Oley)-stabilized Au NPs were not activated by piperazine for the hydrogenation of alkynes, but the catalytic activity was greatly enhanced after removing the capping ligands from the gold surface by calcination at 400 °C and the subsequent adsorption of piperazine. Therefore, the capping ligand can limit the catalytic activity if not carefully removed, demonstrating the need of a cleaner surface for a ligand-metal cooperative effect in the activation of H2 for selective semihydrogenation of various alkynes under mild reaction conditions.

- Accessing Frustrated Lewis Pair Chemistry through Robust Gold@N-Doped Carbon for Selective Hydrogenation of Alkynes
-
Pyrolysis of Au(OAc)3 in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline over TiO2 furnishes a highly active and selective Au nanoparticle (NP) catalyst embedded in a nitrogen-doped carbon support, Au@N-doped carbon/TiO2 catalyst. Parameters such as pyrolysis temperature, type of support, and nitrogen ligands as well as Au/ligand molar ratios were systematically investigated. Highly selective hydrogenation of numerous structurally diverse alkynes proceeded in moderate to excellent yield under mild conditions. The high selectivity toward the industrially important alkene substrates, functional group tolerance, and the high recyclability makes the catalytic system unique. Both high activity and selectivity are correlated with a frustrated Lewis pairs interface formed by the combination of gold and nitrogen atoms of N-doped carbon that, according to density functional theory calculations, can serve as a basic site to promote the heterolytic activation of H2 under very mild conditions. This "fully heterogeneous" and recyclable gold catalyst makes the selective hydrogenation process environmentally and economically attractive.

- Gold-Ligand-Catalyzed Selective Hydrogenation of Alkynes into cis-Alkenes via H2 Heterolytic Activation by Frustrated Lewis Pairs
-
The selective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes is an important synthetic process in the chemical industry. It is commonly accomplished using palladium catalysts that contain surface modifiers, such as lead and silver. Here we report that the adsorption of nitrogen-containing bases on gold nanoparticles results in a frustrated Lewis pair interface that activates H2 heterolytically, allowing an unexpectedly high hydrogenation activity. The so-formed tight-ion pair can be selectively transferred to an alkyne, leading to a cis isomer; this behavior is controlled by electrostatic interactions. Activity correlates with H2 dissociation energy, which depends on the basicity of the ligand and its reorganization on activation of hydrogen. High surface occupation and strong Au atom-ligand interactions might affect the accessibility and stability of the active site, making the activity prediction a multiparameter function. The promotional effect found for nitrogen-containing bases with two heteroatoms was mechanistically described as a strategy to boost gold activity. (Graph Presented).

An unprecedented and efficient organic base-catalysed highly chemoselective carbo- and oxytrifluoromethylation of unactivated alkenes with Togni's reagent was developed. The switchable chemoselectivity was tuned by simply changing the organic base catalyst and solvent. Mechanistic studies indicated that a radical cyclization pathway for carbotrifluoromethylation in DMSO and a carbocation pathway for oxytrifluoromethylation in DCE were probably involved.

-
The invention discloses a method for preparing propylene by performing oxidative dehydrogenation on propane, and relates to a method for preparing propylene. The method comprises the steps of: heating a catalyst to the temperature of 400 to 700 DEG C, keeping the temperature for 10 to 120 minutes, introducing mixed reaction gas to pass through a catalyst bed layer, and reacting to obtain the product of propylene. The mixed reaction gas propane, oxygen, hydrogen halide gas and inert gas. A small amount of hydrogen halide is introduced into the reaction system to effectively activate the propane, the selectivity of the propylene is more than 80 percent, a once through yield of the propylene is close to 50 percent, and performance of the propylene is much better than the performance of the traditional propylene which is obtained by directly dehydrogenizing and performing oxidative dehydrogenation on the propane; a reaction process is gentle, advanced oxidation for oxidative dehydrogenation of propane to prepare the propylene is greatly suppressed at the presence of halogen hydride, the selectivity of the propylene is greatly improved, and a problem of low selectivity of the propylene at high conversion rate of the propane is solved; and the hydrogen halide is recoverable and reused, energy consumption is low, the employed catalyst is a non-noble metal catalyst, and the components is remained stable during the reaction.

This work reports a chemo-selective semi-hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes using silica supported palladium phosphine catalyst with syngas (CO/H2). This developed methodology is an alternative to classical Lindlar catalyst for chemo-selective semi-hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes. Various alkynes were smoothly convert to alkenes in 60-97% conversion with 85-98% selectivity. The prepared catalyst was well characterized by Field Emmission Gun Scanning Electron Microscopy (FEG-SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Inductively Coupled Plasma- Atomic Emmission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) analysis techniques. In addition, catalyst was effectively recycled up to four consecutive run without significant loss in its catalytic activity and selectivity.

- Dynamic Covalent Chemistry of Nucleophilic Substitution Component Exchange of Quaternary Ammonium Salts
-
Dynamic covalent libraries (DCLs) of quaternary ammonium cations were set up by reversible nucleophilic substitution (SN2′ and SN2) exchange reactions of ammonium salts and tertiary amines. The reactions were conducted at 60 °C to generate thermodynamically and kinetically controlled mixtures of quaternary ammonium compounds and tertiary amines, and were accelerated by using iodide as a nucleophilic catalyst. Microwave irradiation was used to assist the exchange reaction between the pyridinium salts and pyridine derivatives. Finally, experiments towards the generation of dynamic ionic liquids were performed. The results of this study pave the way for the extension of dynamic combinatorial chemistry to nucleophilic substitution reactions.

- Absolute Rate Constants for Reactions of Tributylstannyl Radicals with Bromoalkanes, Episulfides, and α-Halomethyl-Episulfides, -Cyclopropanes, and -Oxiranes: New Rate Expressions for Sulfur and Bromine Atom Abstraction
-
Arrhenius rate expressions were determined for the abstraction of bromine atom from 2-phenethyl bromide by tri-n-butylstannyl radical (Bu 3Sn.) in benzene using transient absorption spectroscopy, (log(kabs,Br/M-1 s-1) = (9.21 ± 0.20) - (2.23 ± 0.28)/θ, θ = 2.3RT kcal/mol, errors are 2σ) and for the abstraction of sulfur atom from propylene sulfide to form propylene, (log(ks/M-1 s-1) = (8.75 ± 0.91) - (2.35 ±1.33)/θ). Rate constants for reactions of organic bromides, RBr, with Bu3Sn. were found to vary as R = benzyl (15.6) > thiiranylmethyl (6.2) > oxiranylmethyl (3.1) > cyclopropylmethyl (1.3) > 2-phenethyl (1.0), with kabs,Br = 6.8 × 10 7 M-1 s-1 at 353 K for 2-phenethyl bromide. Bromine abstraction from α-bromomethylthiirane is about 7-fold faster than sulfur atom abstraction and is comparable to the reactivity of a secondary alkyl bromide. The potential surface for the vinylthiomethyl → allylthiyl radical rearrangement at UB3LYP/6-31G(d) and UB3LYP/6-311+G-(2d,2p) levels of theory suggests that the thiiranylmethyl radical is produced about 9 kcal/mol above the allylthiyl radical on the rearrangement surface, consistent with the observed enhancement of the Br atom abstraction from the thiirane and with synchronous C-S bond scission of the thiirane ring. The selectivities reported in this work for S vs Cl and Br abstraction provide applications for radical-based synthesis and new competition basis rate expressions for trialkylstannyl radicals.

- Triphenylphosphine/2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone as a new, selective and neutral system for the facile conversion of alcohols, thiols and selenols to alkyl halides in the presence of halide ions
-
A mixture of triphenylphosphine (Ph3P) and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone in CH2Cl2 affords a complex which in the presence of R4NX (X=Cl, Br, I) converts alcohols, thiols and selenols into their corresponding alkyl halides in high yields at room temperature. The method is highly selective for the conversion of 1° alcohols in the presence of 2° ones and also 1° and 2° alcohols in the presence of 3° alcohols, thiols, epoxides, trimethylsilyl- and tetrahydropyranyl ethers, 1,3 dithianes, disulfides, and amides.

- Coupling reactions and coupling-alkylations of thiophenecarbaldehydes promoted by samarium diiodide
-
The coupling reactions of 2-thiophenecarbaldehyde with aromatic or aliphatic aldehydes were promoted by samarium diiodide in the presence of hexamethylphosphoramide to give C-5 hydroxyalkylation products. The coupling reactions of 3-thiophenecarbaldehyde occurred at C-2, and the subsequent alkylations occurred at the sulfur atom, accompanied by a concurrent opening of the thiophene ring to afford γ-lactols. Double hydroxyalkylations of 2- and 3-thiophenecarbaldehydes were also carried out under appropriate reaction conditions. Synthetic applications of these thiophenecarbonyl coupling products were demonstrated, for example, by elaboration to furans, butenolides, and thiophene-fused polycyclic compounds.

- The thermal desulfination of allylic sulfonyl halides
-
Allylic sulfonyl halides can be generated by halogenolysis of the corresponding triorganotin sulfinates. Allylic sulfonyl bromides and iodides undergo a first order, thermal desulfination with allylic rearrangement to yield the corresponding allylic halides. The desulfination of a cyclic allylic sulfonyl bromide is stereospecific, proceeding with γ-syn bromine migration.

- Kinetics of the nucleophilic substitution of benzyltributylammonium bromide with allyl, butyl, and benzyl chlorides and with benzyl acetate and benzyl ether
-
In this study, we investigated the kinetics of the nucleophilic substitutions, RX + (BzBu3NBr) ? RBr + (BzBu3NX), where R = allyl, Bu and Bz, when X = Cl; and X = AcO and BzO when R = Bz. The forward and backward rate constants in addition to the activation energies for R = allyl and Bu were also determined. However, only the rate constants at 35°C were determined for the benzyl compounds with toluene as the solvent to reduce the reaction rate. Moreover, the effects of the structures of the groups R and the leaving groups X on the reactivity were compared. Results in this study can provide valuable information for future studies involving the phase transfer catalyzed displacements.
