- Efficient Catalysts for the Green Synthesis of Adipic Acid from Biomass
-
Green synthesis of adipic acid from renewable biomass is a very attractive goal of sustainable chemistry. Herein, we report efficient catalysts for a two-step transformation of cellulose-derived glucose into adipic acid via glucaric acid. Carbon nanotube-supported platinum nanoparticles are found to work efficiently for the oxidation of glucose to glucaric acid. An activated carbon-supported bifunctional catalyst composed of rhenium oxide and palladium is discovered to be powerful for the removal of four hydroxyl groups in glucaric acid, affording adipic acid with a 99 % yield. Rhenium oxide functions for the deoxygenation but is less efficient for four hydroxyl group removal. The co-presence of palladium not only catalyzes the hydrogenation of olefin intermediates but also synergistically facilitates the deoxygenation. This work presents a green route for adipic acid synthesis and offers a bifunctional-catalysis strategy for efficient deoxygenation.

- Bimetallic AuPt/TiO2Catalysts for Direct Oxidation of Glucose and Gluconic Acid to Tartaric Acid in the Presence of Molecular O2
-
Tartaric acid is an important industrial building block in the food and polymer industry. However, green manufacture of tartaric acid remains a grand challenge in this area. To date, chemical synthesis from nitric acid-facilitated glucose oxidation leads to only a one-pot aqueous-phase oxidation of glucose and gluconic acid using bimetallic AuPt/TiO2 catalysts in the presence of molecular O2, with ~50% yield toward tartaric acid at 110 °C and 2 MPa. Structural characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculation reveal that the lattice mismatch between fcc Pt and bcc Au induces the formation of twinned boundaries in nanoclusters and Jahn-Teller distortion in an electronic field. Such structural and electronic reconfiguration leads to enhanced σ-activation of the C-H bond competing with π-πelectronic sharing of the C═O bond on the catalyst surface. As a result, both C-H (oxidation) and C-C (decarboxylation) bond cleavage reactions synergistically occur on the surface of bimetallic AuPt/TiO2 catalysts. Therefore, glucose and gluconic acid can be efficiently transformed into tartaric acid in a base-free medium. Lattice distortion-enhanced reconfiguration of the electronic field in Pt-based bimetallic nanocatalysts can be utilized in many other energy and environmental fields for catalyzing synergistic oxidation reactions.

- Electrochemical oxidation of amoxicillin on carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotube supported metal modified electrodes
-
The electrolysis of amoxicillin (AMX) was carried out on CNT, Pt/CNT and Ru/CNT modified electrodes based on Carbon Toray in 0.1 M NaOH, 0.1 M NaCl and 0.1 M Na2CO3/NaHCO3 buffer (pH 10) media with the aim of studying the significance of two factors, electrode material and pH, on the oxidative degradation and mineralization of AMX. For this purpose, the electrolysis products were identified by HPLC-MS and GC–MS, and quantified by HPLC-UV-RID and IC. The highest carbon mineralization efficiency, corresponding to 30% of the oxidized AMX, was found for Pt/CNT modified electrode in carbonate buffer medium. Regarding to the AMX conversion, the results show that the effect of pH is higher than that of the electrode material. Principal component analysis allowed to determine the experimental parameters vs. product distribution relationship and to elucidate the oxidation pathways for the studied electrodes. The results show that the hydroxylation of the aromatic ring and the nitrogen atom play an important role on the efficient degradation of AMX.

- A cobalt-substituted Keggin-Type polyoxometalate for catalysis of oxidative aromatic cracking reactions in water
-
Efficient detoxification of harmful benzene rings into useful carboxylic acids in water is indispensable for achieving a clean water environment. We report herein that oxidative aromatic cracking (OAC) reactions in water were achieved using a catalytic system with a cobalt-substituted Keggin-Type polyoxometalate (Co-POM) as a catalyst, an Oxone monopersulfate compound as a sacrificial oxidant and sodium bicarbonate as an additive under mild conditions. Sodium bicarbonate plays a crucial role in the selective OAC reactions by Co-POM using ethylbenzenesulfonate as a model substrate. The reactive species was characterized to be a cobalt(iii)-oxyl species based on 31P NMR, UV-vis spectroscopic, kinetic, and theoretical analyses. The electrophilicity of the cobalt(iii)-oxyl species was demonstrated by a linear relationship with a negative slope in the Hammett plots of initial rates obtained from the OAC reactions of m-xylenesulfonate derivatives. Besides, we have verified the degradation pathway of the OAC reactions using benzene as a model substrate in the catalytic system. The degradation was initiated by an electrophilic attack of the cobalt(iii)-oxyl species on benzene to yield phenol followed by producing catechol, muconic acid, maleic/fumaric acid, tartaric acid derivatives and formic acid on the basis of 1H NMR spectroscopic analysis.

- Quantitative Determination of Pt- Catalyzed d -Glucose Oxidation Products Using 2D NMR
-
Quantitative correlative 1H-13C NMR has long been discussed as a potential method for quantifying the components of complex reaction mixtures. Here, we show that quantitative HMBC NMR can be applied to understand the complexity of the catalytic oxidation of glucose to glucaric acid, which is a promising bio-derived precursor to adipic acid, under aqueous aerobic conditions. It is shown through 2D NMR analysis that the product streams of this increasingly studied reaction contain lactone and dilactone derivatives of acid products, including glucaric acid, which are not observable/quantifiable using traditional chromatographic techniques. At 98% glucose conversion, total C6 lactone yield reaches 44%. Furthermore, a study of catalyst stability shows that all Pt catalysts undergo product-mediated chemical leaching. Through catalyst development studies, it is shown that sequestration of leached Pt can be achieved through use of carbon supports.

The nano-composites Fe3O4SiO2(-O3Si[(CH2)3NH])P(O)(NH-R(+)CH(CH3)(C6H5))2 (Fe3O4SiO2PTA(+)) and Fe3O4SiO2(-O3Si[(CH2)3NH])P(O)(NH-S(-)CH(CH3)(C6H5))2 (Fe3O4SiO2PTA(-)) were prepared and used for the chiral separation of five racemic mixtures (PTA = phosphoric triamide). The separation results show chiral recognition ability of these materials with respect to racemates belonging to different families of compounds (amine, acid, and amino-acid), which show their feasibility to be potential adsorbents in chiral separation. The nano-composites were characterized by FTIR, TEM, SEM, EDX, XRD, and VSM. The VSM curves of nano-composites indicate their superparamagnetic property, which is stable after their use in the separation process. Fe3O4, Fe3O4SiO2, Fe3O4SiO2PTA(+) and Fe3O4SiO2PTA(-) are regularly spherical with uniform shape and the average sizes of 17-20, 18-23, 36-47 and 43-52 nm, respectively.

- Aerobic oxidation of xylose to xylaric acid in water over pt catalysts
-
Energy-efficient catalytic conversion of biomass intermediates to functional chemicals can make bio-products viable. Herein, we report an efficient and low temperature aerobic oxidation of xylose to xylaric acid, a promising bio-based chemical for the production of glutaric acid, over commercial catalysts in water. Among several heterogeneous catalysts investigated, Pt/ C exhibits the best activity. Systematic variation of reaction parameters in the pH range of 2.5 to 10 suggests that the reaction is fast at higher temperatures but high C C scission of intermediate C5-oxidized products to low carbon carboxylic acids undermines xylaric acid selectivity. The C C cleavage is also high in basic solution. The oxidation at neutral pH and 60 8C achieves the highest xylaric acid yield (64 %). O2 pressure and Pt amount have significant influence on the reactivity. Decar-boxylation of short chain carboxylic acids results in formation of CO2, causing some carbon loss; however, such decarboxyla-tion is slow in the presence of xylose. The catalyst retained comparable activity, in terms of product selectivity, after five cycles with no sign of Pt leaching.

- Degradation of the Cellulosic Key Chromophore 5,8-Dihydroxy-[1,4]-naphthoquinone by Hydrogen Peroxide under Alkaline Conditions
-
5,8-Dihydroxy-[1,4]-naphthoquinone (DHNQ) is one of the key chromophores in cellulosic materials. Its almost ubiquitous presence in cellulosic materials makes it a target molecule of the pulp and paper industry's bleaching efforts. In the presented study, DHNQ was treated with hydrogen peroxide under alkaline conditions at pH 10, resembling the conditions of industrial hydrogen peroxide bleaching (P stage). The reaction mechanism, reaction intermediates, and final degradation products were analyzed by UV/vis, NMR, GC-MS, and EPR. The degradation reaction yielded C1-C4 carboxylic acids as the final products. Highly relevant for pulp bleaching are the findings on intermediates of the reaction, as two of them, 2,5-dihydroxy-[1,4]-benzoquinone (DHBQ) and 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetrone, are potent chromophores themselves. While DHBQ is one of the three key cellulosic chromophores and its degradation by H2O2 is well-established, the second intermediate, 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetrone, is reported for the first time in the context of cellulose discoloration.

- Aqueous Photochemistry of Glyoxylic Acid
-
Aerosols affect climate change, the energy balance of the atmosphere, and public health due to their variable chemical composition, size, and shape. While the formation of secondary organic aerosols (SOA) from gas phase precursors is relatively well understood, studying aqueous chemical reactions contributing to the total SOA budget is the current focus of major attention. Field measurements have revealed that mono-, di-, and oxo-carboxylic acids are abundant species present in SOA and atmospheric waters. This work explores the fate of one of these 2-oxocarboxylic acids, glyoxylic acid, which can photogenerate reactive species under solar irradiation. Additionally, the dark thermal aging of photoproducts is studied by UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopies to reveal that the optical properties are altered by the glyoxal produced. The optical properties display periodicity in the time domain of the UV-visible spectrum of chromophores with absorption enhancement (thermochromism) or loss (photobleaching) during nighttime and daytime cycles, respectively. During irradiation, excited state glyoxylic acid can undergo α-cleavage or participate in hydrogen abstractions. The use of 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) analysis shows that glyoxal is an important intermediate produced during direct photolysis. Glyoxal quickly reaches a quasi-steady state as confirmed by UHPLC-MS analysis of its corresponding (E) and (Z) 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones. The homolytic cleavage of glyoxylic acid is proposed as a fundamental step for the production of glyoxal. Both carbon oxides, CO2(g) and CO(g) evolving to the gas-phase, are quantified by FTIR spectroscopy. Finally, formic acid, oxalic acid, and tartaric acid photoproducts are identified by ion chromatography (IC) with conductivity and electrospray (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) detection and 1H NMR spectroscopy. A reaction mechanism is proposed based on all experimental observations.

- Selective oxidation of 5-keto-d-gluconate to l-(+)-tartaric acid on transition metal chelate catalyst
-
The selective oxidation of 5-keto-d-gluconate (5-KGA) to l-(+)-tartaric acid (L-TA) was performed under mild conditions in an alkaline carbonate buffer, employing various transition metal catalysts. CuSO4·5H2O was found to be an efficient catalyst, providing a molar conversion rate and selectivity for L-TA of 74. 58% and 76.18%, respectively. Based on an analysis of the reaction process using UV-Vis spectroscopy, coordination number determination and functional group detection, a mechanism for the metal chelate catalytic oxidation of 5-KGA to L-TA is proposed, and this mechanism is shown to be completely different from that associated with catalysis by vanadate.

- Characterization and reactivity of Mn-Ce-O composites for catalytic ozonation of antipyrine
-
Mn-Ce-O composites were prepared by a redox-precipitation method and used as a catalyst for ozonation of antipyrine (AP) in aqueous solution. The phase composition, surface area and electron transfer ability of the products are dependent on the molar ratio of precursors. Mn-Ce-O(8/2) exhibited the highest activity for the degradation and mineralization of AP with ozone, which can be attributed to its high electron transfer ability. The decomposition of ozone into .OH can be accelerated through the electron transfer between ozone and catalyst. The refractory intermediates in ozonation and catalytic ozonation were identified and the catalytic performances of Mn-Ce-O(8/2) for these intermediates were also investigated. The hydroxyl radical reaction played an important role in the degradation of the refractory intermediates, and the contribution of surface reactions was strengthened with decreasing pH. A possible mechanism for the catalytic ozonation of AP was proposed.

- One-pot synthesis of micro/nano structured β-Bi2O3 with tunable morphology for highly efficient photocatalytic degradation of methylparaben under visible-light irradiation
-
β-Bi2O3 micro/nanostructures with tunable morphologies were synthesized via a one-pot solvothermal-calcining route, and their photocatalytic activity toward degrading methylparaben (MeP, a widely used preservative with estrogenic activity) was evaluated under visible-light (λ ≥ 420 nm) irradiation. The formation process of β-Bi2O3 catalysts can be described as reduction of Bi3+ through a solvothermal reaction, followed by oxidization of metal Bi via calcination in air. During this process, the organic reductants (single or a mixture of ethylene glycol, d-fructose, and ascorbic acid) play important roles in determining the final morphologies and structures of the materials. Photocatalytic tests reveal that MeP can be effectively degraded and mineralized by using synthetic β-Bi2O3 catalysts, and the reaction rate constant of an optimum sample is more than 25 and 160 times faster than a commercial Bi2O3 and synthetic N-TiO2, respectively. The superior photocatalytic activity of the optimum product is ascribed to its pure beta phase with a narrower band gap, good absorption of visible light, more efficient separation of electrons and holes, relatively higher BET specific surface area, and three-dimensional architectures, which favor more surface active sites and easier mass and photoinduced charge transportations. In addition, the main reactive oxygen species and possible degradation intermediates were detected, and the results suggest that photogenerated holes and superoxide radicals are the predominant species in the photochemical oxidation process.

- Identification of low molecular weight organic acids by ion chromatography/hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry during Uniblu-A ozonation
-
RATIONALE: The balance of organic nitrogen and sulfur during ozonation of organic pollutants often shows a lack of complete mineralization. It follows that polar and ionic byproducts are likely to be present that are difficult to identify by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). METHODS: The structural elucidation of low molecular weight organic acids arising from Uniblu-OH ozonation has been investigated by ion chromatography/electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (IC/ESIMS/MS) employing a quadrupole timeofflight mass spectrometer. Unequivocal elemental composition of the byproducts was determined by a combination of mass accuracy and high spectral accuracy. RESULTS: The employed identification strategy was demonstrated to be a powerful method of unequivocally assigning a single chemical composition to each identified compound. The exact mass measurements of [M-H]- ions allowed the elemental formulae and related structures of eighteen byproducts to be determined confidently. The main degradation pathways were found to be decarboxylation and oxidation. The experimental procedure allowed the identification of both nitrogen- and sulfur-containing organic acid by-products arising from Uniblu-OH ozonation. CONCLUSIONS: The obtained results are of environmental relevance for the balance of organic nitrogen and sulfur during the ozonation of organic pollutants due to the lack of complete mineralization of the compounds containing these atoms.

Crosslinked chiral nanoparticles were successfully synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) miniemulsion polymerization of 6-O-p-vinylbenzyl-1,2:3,4di-O-isopropylidene-D-galactopyranose (VBPG) using linear poly(VBPG) as the macro-RAFT agent. The polymerization of VBPG in the absence of crosslinker was first studied and the kinetic results showed that the molecular weights of the obtained poly(VBPG) increased linearly with the monomer conversion and was in good consistency with the corresponding theoretical ones while there remained a relative narrow polydisperslty. The effect of the amount of crosslinker, divlnylbenzene, on the nanoparticle size and chiral separation properties of the obtained nanoparticles were investigated in detail using four racemates ±-3-Amino-1,2propanediol, D,L-arablnose, D,L-tartaric acid, and D,L-mandelic acid.

- Influence of the temperature on heat effects of acid-base interactions in aqueous solutions of succinic and tartaric acids
-
The heat effects of interactions of solutions of succinic and tartaric acids with solutions of HNO3 and KOH or LiOH are measured over the temperature range 288.15-308.15 K at ionic strengths of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 (KNO3 or LiNO3). The heat effects of dissociation of the acids are calculated using a Pentium-150 PC with HEAT and RRSU universal software packages. The thermodynamic characteristics of the processes of stepwise dissociation of the oxyacids are determined. The influence of the temperature on the heat effects of the processes of stepwise dissociation of succinic and tartaric acids is discussed. Nauka/Interperiodica 2007.

- Catalytic oxidation of furan and hydrofuran compounds. 4. Oxidation of furfural by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of sodium molybdate
-
The oxidation of furfural by an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of sodium molybdate was studied for the first time. Its final products are 2(5H)-furanone and also tartaric, malic, and succinic acids. The process takes place through the formation of peroxide and carbonyl compounds. Kinetic curves for the consumption of the reagents and the accumulation of the reaction products were obtained. In direction oxidation in this system differs substantially from the previously studied reactions of furfural with an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide without a catalyst and in the presence of selenium and vanadium compounds. 1999 Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers.

- Oxidation of methyl and n-octyl α-D-glucopyranoside over graphite-supported platinum catalysts: Effect of the alkyl substituent on activity and selectivity
-
The oxidation of methyl and n-octyl α-D-glucopyranoside to methyl and n-octyl α-D-glucopyranosiduronate with molecular oxygen over a graphite-supported platinum catalyst was investigated. An increase of the length of the n-alkyl substituent from methyl to n-octyl resulted in a ten-fold decrease of the catalyst activity and an increase of the selectivity at pH 8.0 and 323 K. The selectivity decreased with increasing pH. The lower activity for a longer n-alkyl substituent is attributed to steric effects upon adsorption on the platinum surface and not to internal diffusion limitations. A tentative reaction scheme is presented, which describes the formation of side products through oxidation of secondary hydroxyl groups, ring cleavage and hydrolysis. Major side products are mono- and di-carboxylates with 2, 4, and 6 carbon atoms and mono-carboxylates, resulting from the oxidation of the alkyl substituent. C-C-Bond cleavage mainly occurs between C-2 and C-3 or C-4 and C-5, the former being less important for a longer alkyl substituent. The higher selectivity for a longer alkyl substituent is attributed to its protecting ability against hydrolysis and the exposition of neighboring hydroxyl groups to the platinum surface.

- A new B-Z oscillator with a modified control mechanism
-
Osculations in fructose + BrO3- + Ce4+ + H2SO4 system without any bromine scavenger have been observed in the range 0.035-0.7 M fructose in a batch reactor as well as continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). Analysis of reaction product was done by TLC, UV, NMR and HPLC. The oscillations are insensitive to Br concentration even upto 10-2 M. [Br-] and [Br2] have been estimated at several stages, of oscillations in a typical case. At the maxima, [Br-] is found to be of the order of 10-5 M which is much higher than the critical Br- concentration. Tartaric acid is found to promote oscillations when added to non-oscillating fructose system although no oscillations are observed in tartaric acid + BrO3- + Ce4+ +H2SO4 system of a similar concentrations. Within a certain range of fructose concentration, damped complex oscillations are observed in the batch reactor. In CSTR aperiodic oscillations are observed at higher [fructose] with decreasing flow rates although sustained periodic oscillations are observed at low [fructose]. In a particular concentration range two types of oscillations in fructose (F) + acetone oscillator separated by time pause have also been observed in the batch reactor. Oscillations that occur before time pause (first type oscillations) are insensitive to addition of Br- upto 10-2 M and are similar to that observed in the corresponding fructose oscillator without acetone. On the other hand, oscillations that occur after time pause (second type oscillations) are stopped when [Br-] ≈ 10-3 M. The colour of reaction mixture is intense brown during first type of oscillations. It changes from colourless to yellow during second type of oscillations. At higher concentration of fructose, only oscillations observed before time pause are obtained while at lower concentration of fructose only the oscillations observed after time pause are obtained but in between sequential oscillations are observed. Computer simulation studies have also been undertaken. Br--control mechanism is unable to predict oscillations as such, whereas a mechanism based on free-radical control as well as Br--control predicts oscillations. Polymerisation studies and ESR studies have been undertaken to ascertain the formation of free radicals.
