- Study on the transesterification and mechanism of bisphenol A and dimethyl carbonate catalyzed by organotin oxide
-
(CF3C6H4)2SnO, (CH3C6H4)2SnO and Ph2SnO were successfully synthesized for the transesterification of DMC with BPA. The products of mono-methylcarbonate-ended-BPA (MmC(1)) and two-methylcarbonate-ended-BPA (DmC(1)) were selectively synthesizedthem. The catalysts were characterized by FT-IR, TG and XPS. When Ph2SnO was used as the catalyst at 170?°C, the BPA conversion reached to 28.60% and the transesterification selectivity reached to 98.35%. As for (CF3C6H4)2SnO, BPA conversion and transesterification selectivity declined to 12.48% and 64.74%, respectively. The BPA conversion increased to 42.83%, but the transesterification selectivity declined to 44.55%(CF3C6H4)2SnO. Notability, the higher transesterification selectivity of Ph2SnO was due to its lowest electron binding energy of Sn4+. More importantly, the DMC adsorption, activation and decomposition process(CF3C6H4)2SnO, (CH3C6H4)2SnO and Ph2SnO were characterized by TG–MS and in situ DRIFT techniques, which provided more information about the mechanism of transesterification and methylation.

- Lithium doped TiO2 as catalysts for the transesterification of bisphenol-A with dimethyl carbonate
-
Lithium doped TiO2 were prepared by simple impregnation, which was used as heterogeneous catalysts for the transesterification of DMC with BPA. The characterized results of FTIR, XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM and temperature programmed desorption of CO2 (CO2-TPD) showed that the structure and performance of the catalysts were obviously influenced by the doping amount of Li+ and calcining temperature. The optimum catalytic activity was obtained when the molar ratio of Ti/Li reached 6 and the calcination temperature came up to 400 ℃ which was due to Li+ reaction with TiO2 to form surface Ti-O-Li at 400 ℃ (Ti/Li-6-400). When the transesterification of DMC with BPA was carried out at 160–180 ℃ over Ti/Li-6-400, BPA conversion reached 46.67%, and the yields of one-methylcarbonate-ended-BPA (MmC(1)) and two-methylcarbonate-ended-BPA (DmC(1)) achieved 36.36% and 5.97%, respectively, and only 9.3% methylation selectivity was detected. In addition, the possible transesterification mechanism was provided.
