Ir(NHC)-Catalyzed Synthesis of β-Alkylated Alcohols via Borrowing Hydrogen Strategy: Influence of Bimetallic Structure

Multi N-heterocyclic carbene(NHC)-modified iridium catalysts were employed in the β-alkylation of alcohols; dimerization of primary alcohols (Guerbet reaction), cross-coupling of secondary and primary alcohols, and intramolecular cyclization of alcohols. Mechanistic studies of Guerbet reaction, including kinetic experiments, mass analysis, and density functional theory (DFT) calculation, were employed to explain the fast reaction promoted by bimetallic catalysts, and the dramatic reactivity increase of monometallic catalysts at the late stage of the reaction. (Figure presented.).

Preparation method and application of bifurcated halogenated alkyl chain compounds

The invention discloses a preparation method and an application of bifurcated halogenated alkyl chain compounds. The method comprises the following steps: reacting bromoalkane with dimethyl malonate to obtain single-branch dimethyl malonate; reacting bromoalkane with the obtained single-branch dimethyl malonate to obtain two-branch dimethyl malonate; carrying out selective hydrolysis decarboxylation on the two-branch dimethyl malonate to obtain a hydrolysate; reducing the hydrolysate to obtain primary alcohol; carrying out a bromination reaction on the primary alcohol to obtain a brominated product; reacting the brominated product with ethylene oxide to obtain carbon chain-extended primary alcohol compounds; and carrying out a halogenation reaction on the carbon chain-extended primary alcohol compounds to obtain the bifurcated halogenated alkyl chain compounds with R being a corresponding halogen atom. The method has the advantages of low cost, high yield, simplicity in operation, andeasiness in realization of industrialization. Alkyl chains with different bifurcated lengths are introduced to an organic conjugated polymer, so the pi-pi piling distance between polymers is effectively reduced, the mobility of the polymer is improved.

Synthetic base stock based on Guerbet alcohols

Guerbet (β branched) alcohols of varying chain length of even carbon numbers were synthesized by using single linear fatty alcohols ranging from 1-octanol to 1-dodecanol. All Guerbet alcohols having fewer than 28 carbon atoms and are liquid at 0 °C due to β branching. Synthetic base oils were prepared by reacting commonly available unsaturated fatty acids and dicarboxylic acids with Guerbet alcohols using p-toluenesulfonic acid as a catalyst. These base oils were characterized by physical and tribological properties like viscosity, viscosity index, pour point, flash point, wear scar, weld load, coefficient of friction etc. and compared with commercially available 150 and 500 N base oils.
