- Facile dehydration of primary amides to nitriles catalyzed by lead salts: The anionic ligand matters
-
The synthesis of nitrile under mild conditions was achieved via dehydration of primary amide using lead salts as catalyst. The reaction processes were intensified by not only adding surfactant but also continuously removing the only by-product, water from the system. Both aliphatic and aromatic nitriles can be prepared in this manner with moderate to excellent yields. The reaction mechanisms were obtained with high-level quantum chemical calculations, and the crucial role the anionic ligand plays in the transformations were revealed.

A XANES study under reaction conditions has been performed with two different V-based catalytic systems, Mo-V-Nb-Te-O and V-Sb-O. For this study, an alumina-supported nanoscaled bulk catalyst has been used. In all cases XANES determined the average vanadium oxidation state during reaction. XANES also demonstrated that the nanosized phases are more dynamic, and able to participate in the redox catalytic cycle without significant changes either in their structure or in the overall vanadium oxidation state. Such a stability is also apparent under oxidizing conditions.

- Photoiodocarboxylation of Activated C=C Double Bonds with CO2 and Lithium Iodide
-
The photolysis at 254 nm of lithium iodide and olefins 1 carrying an electron-withdrawing Z-substituent in CO2-saturated (1 bar) anhydrous acetonitrile at room temperature produces the atom efficient and transition metal-free photoiodocarboxylation of the C=C double bond. The reaction proceeds well for terminal olefins 1 to form the new C-I and C-C σ-bonds at the α and β-positions of the Z-substituent, respectively, and is strongly inhibited by polar protic solvents or additives. The experimental results suggest that the reaction channels through the radical anion [CO2?-] in acetonitrile, yet involves different intermediates in aqueous medium. The stabilizing ion-quadrupole and electron donor-acceptor interactions of CO2 with the iodide anion play a crucial role in the reaction course as they allow CO2 to penetrate the solvation shell of the anion in acetonitrile, but not in water. The reaction paths and the reactive intermediates involved under different conditions are discussed.

- Propane Versus Ethane Ammoxidation on Mixed Oxide Catalytic Systems: Influence of the Alkane Structure
-
Abstract: Catalysts from three different catalytic systems, Ni–Nb–O, Mo–V–Nb–Te–O and Sb–V–O, have been prepared, characterized, and tested during both ethane and propane ammoxidation reactions, in order to obtain acetonitrile and acrylonitrile, respectively. The catalytic results show that Mo–V–Nb–Te–O and Sb–V–O catalyze propane ammoxidation but are inactive for ethane ammoxidation whereas Ni–Nb–O catalysts catalyze both, ethane and propane ammoxidation. The activity results, and the characterization of fresh and used catalysts along with some data from previous studies, indicate that the ammoxidation reaction mechanism that occurs in these catalytic systems is different. In the case of Mo–V–Nb–Te–O and Sb–V–O, two active sites appear to be involved. In the case of Ni–Nb–O catalysts, only one site seems to be involved, which underlines that the mechanism is different and take place via a different intermediate. These catalysts activate the methyl groups in ethane, on the contrary, neither ethane nor ethylene appear to adsorb on the Mo–V–Nb–Te–O and Sb–V–O active sites.

- Ammoxidation of acrolein to acrylonitrile over bismuth molybdate catalysts
-
The present work deals with the potentially significant process converting acrolein of green origin to acrylonitrile using mesoporous bismuth molybdate catalysts. The ammoxidation catalysts were characterized by N2 physisorption, X-ray diffraction, and catalytic tests under various conditions at different temperatures, contact times, and reactant molar ratios. The results indicated a catalytic activity proportional to specific surface area, which depends on bismuth molybdate phases, and concentration of oxygen in the gas feed. The selectivity of the catalysts only depends on reaction temperature. ACN selectivity obtained at 350-400 °C was 100% and reduced to 97% at 450 °C.

- Role of Promoters on the Acrolein Ammoxidation Performances of BiMoOx
-
Ammoxidation of acrolein to acrylonitrile was studied using multicomponent (MC) BiMoOx catalysts in the presence of ammonia and oxygen. The MC catalysts containing bivalent and trivalent metal promoters were found to be highly active and selective to acrylonitrile. The corresponding MC catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, nitrogen physisorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ICP-MS and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. It was observed that, among the bivalent cations, the catalysts containing both Co-Ni showed superior performances due to the presence of the metastable β-CoxNi1-xMoO4 phase. The presence of a trivalent cation, and especially of iron, promoted the formation of both the γ-Bi2MoO6 active phase and the active β-phase of bivalent metal molybdate. Further, optimization of the reaction conditions enabled the achievement of a 59 % acrylonitrile yield.

- Common origins of RNA, protein and lipid precursors in a cyanosulfidic protometabolism
-
A minimal cell can be thought of as comprising informational, compartment-forming and metabolic subsystems. To imagine the abiotic assembly of such an overall system, however, places great demands on hypothetical prebiotic chemistry. The perceived differences and incompatibilities between these subsystems have led to the widely held assumption that one or other subsystem must have preceded the others. Here we experimentally investigate the validity of this assumption by examining the assembly of various biomolecular building blocks from prebiotically plausible intermediates and one-carbon feedstock molecules. We show that precursors of ribonucleotides, amino acids and lipids can all be derived by the reductive homologation of hydrogen cyanide and some of its derivatives, and thus that all the cellular subsystems could have arisen simultaneously through common chemistry. The key reaction steps are driven by ultraviolet light, use hydrogen sulfide as the reductant and can be accelerated by Cu(I)-Cu(II) photoredox cycling.

The effect of the reaction mixture composition (C3H8, NH3 and O2) on selectivity towards different products was studied at propane conversion above 80%. The favorable effect of bismuth promoter on the selectivity towards acrylonitrile was explained by suppression of acrylonitrile transformation connected with decreasing acidity of the catalyst.

- Ammoxidation of propane to acrylonitrile over silica-supported Fe-Bi nanocatalysts
-
Ammoxidation of propane to acrylonitrile was examined over a Fe3BiOx/SiO2 sample prepared by thermal decarbonylation of [Et4N][Fe3(CO)10(μ3-Bi)] on the surface of mesoporous silica. Catalytic measurements performed at 500 °C showed that this sample yields 49% acrylonitrile selectivity at 36% propane conversion when a 5.5%C3H8/30%O2/11%NH3/He balance reaction mixture was used at a GHSV of 1360 h?1. HRSTEM, EDS, and XPS measurements indicate that mixed Fe3BiO6 oxide particles less than 2 nm in size were formed on the surface of this material under reaction conditions. A Fe/Bi atomic ratio in these particles is approximately 3:1 and the Fe and Bi ions both are in the +3 oxidation state. A Fe-Bi/SiO2 sample prepared by co-impregnation of individual Fe and Bi salts had very low activity and low selectivity for acrylonitrile formation from propane under similar experimental conditions due to larger sizes of particles formed under reaction conditions and enrichment of their surface with Fe.

- Olefins from biomass feedstocks: Catalytic ester decarbonylation and tandem Heck-type coupling
-
With the goal of avoiding the need for anhydride additives, the catalytic decarbonylation of p-nitrophenylesters of aliphatic carboxylic acids to their corresponding olefins, including commodity monomers like styrene and acrylates, has been developed. The reaction is catalyzed by palladium complexes in the absence of added ligands and is promoted by alkali/alkaline-earth metal halides. Combination of catalytic decarbonylation and Heck-type coupling with aryl esters in a single pot process demonstrates the viability of employing a carboxylic acid as a "masked olefin" in synthetic processes.

- Study of the local structure and oxidation state of iron in complex oxide catalysts for propylene ammoxidation
-
Iron molybdate plays a crucial role in the complex oxide catalysts used for selective oxidation and ammoxidation of hydrocarbons but its structural and electronic properties and their changes in the process of the reaction are poorly understood. A combination of Raman, X-ray absorption, and UV-visible spectroscopy was applied to investigate a commercial catalyst as a function of the reaction time. The results show that an iron-containing compound exists predominantly as ferric molybdate in the fresh catalyst, which is reduced progressively in the process of reaction, forming predominantly ferrous molybdate. The irreversible transformation from Fe2(MoO 4)3 to FeMoO4 was accompanied by formation of a small amount of Fe2O3. These two processes observed in our experiment shed light on the deactivation mechanism of this complex catalyst because they have a negative effect on the selectivity and activity. Specifically, they are responsible for the deterioration of the redox couple, blocking the transmission of lattice oxygen, and irreversibly changing the catalyst structure. Based on the results of the combined techniques, a refined procedure has been proposed to develop a more stable and efficient selective oxidation catalyst.

- Molecular products from the thermal degradation of glutamic acid
-
The thermal behavior of glutamic acid was investigated in N2 and 4% O2 in N2 under flow reactor conditions at a constant residence time of 0.2 s, within a total pyrolysis time of 3 min at 1 atm. The identification of the main pyrolysis products has been reported. Accordingly, the principal products for pyrolysis in order of decreasing abundance were succinimide, pyrrole, acetonitrile, and 2-pyrrolidone. For oxidative pyrolysis, the main products were succinimide, propiolactone, ethanol, and hydrogen cyanide. Whereas benzene, toluene, and a few low molecular weight hydrocarbons (propene, propane, 1-butene, and 2-butene) were detected during pyrolysis, no polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were detected. Oxidative pyrolysis yielded low molecular weight hydrocarbon products in trace amounts. The mechanistic channels describing the formation of the major product succinimide have been explored. The detection of succinimide (major product) and maleimide (minor product) from the thermal decomposition of glutamic acid has been reported for the first time in this study. Toxicological implications of some reaction products (HCN, acetonitrile, and acyrolnitrile), which are believed to form during heat treatment of food, tobacco burning, and drug processing, have been discussed in relation to the thermal degradation of glutamic acid.

- Ammoxidation of allyl alcohol-a sustainable route to acrylonitrile
-
The ammoxidation of allyl alcohol was demonstrated over antimony-iron oxide catalysts with a Sb/Fe ratio of 0.6 and 1. Both catalysts showed high performance with 83 and 84% yield of acrylonitrile, respectively, whereby the main difference was found in the initial performance. This was ascribed to the in-operando formation of the SbFeO4 mixed oxide on the catalyst surface under reaction conditions, as proven by XPS analysis.

- Highly active and selective supported bulk nanostructured MoVNbTeO catalysts for the propane ammoxidation process
-
We report a methodology to prepare nanoscaled supported-bulk MoVNbTeO catalysts in which the phases required to obtain an active and selective catalysts are nanoscaled on the surface of a support. Thus, a more economic catalytic material with improved mechanical properties can be obtained. The effect of vanadium content and atmosphere of calcination on the catalytic performance are discussed, and the results of the supported-catalysts are compared with those of bulk catalytic samples, which have been prepared as reference. The best supported catalyst afford ca. 50% acrylonitrile yield with 80% propane conversion at 450 °C. The activity per gram of MoVNbTeO increases fourfold upon stabilization of its nanoparticles.

- Catalytic properties of nitrided V/Al/O-mixed oxides in the ammoxidation of propane and new efficient preparation method for the catalysts
-
V/Al/O oxides have been prepared and tested as catalysts for the ammoxidation of propane into acrilonitrile at 500 °C. The high efficiency of these catalysts, which were partially nitrided under catalytic reaction conditions, is confirmed. The best catalysts characterized by a V/Al ratio around 0.30, exhibited selectivity to acrilonitrile of 51% at 58% conversion. Testing at low conversion showed that propene was the main primary product from propane ammoxidation and that the reaction pathway on these catalysts was similar to that on other efficient catalytic systems. A new method of synthesis based upon the decomposition at low temperature of a mixed ammonium aluminum-vanadium oxalate was developed. It leads to highly active catalysts, which displayed increased selectivity to acrylonitrile. The gain in activity and selectivity was attributed to a better dispersion of vanadium with a higher concentration of isolated vanadium species in the bulk and presumably at the surface of the catalysts.

- Structure and photochemistry of a novel tetrazole-saccharyl conjugate isolated in solid argon
-
A combined matrix isolation FTIR and theoretical DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G(3df, 3pd) study of the novel synthesised tetrazole-saccharyl conjugate 2-[1-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)ethyl]-1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide [1-TE-BZT] was performed. In the gas phase, at room temperature, the compound exists as a mixture of six isomeric forms (four conformers of 1H tautomer and two conformers of 2H tautomer). According to theoretical calculations, conformers 1H were the most stable and the relative energies among the three most stable forms are lower than 4 kJ mol-1. These conformers benefit from stabilising intramolecular hydrogen bonds-like interactions involving the 1H of the tetrazole ring and the carbonyl oxygen of the saccharyl moiety. The photochemistry of 1-TE-BZT in solid argon was investigated and theoretical DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,3pd) calculations also helped in assignment of the experimental bands. A quick consumption of the compound occurred after irradiation of the matrix with UV laser light at λ = 275 nm. Three photofragmentation pathways were proposed, one leading to 2-[1-(1H-diaziren-3- yl)ethyl]-1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide and molecular nitrogen, a second one giving 2-(1,1-dioxide-3-oxo-1,2-benzisothiazol-2(3H)-yl) propanenitrile and azide, and a third one involving loss of azide from the tetrazole ring and decarbonylation of the saccharyl ring of 1-TE-BZT to give acrylonitrile and 7-thia-8-azabicyclo[4.2.0] octa-1,3,5-triene 7,7 dioxide. The comparison of the relative intensities of the bands of the photoproducts obtained from the three channels allowed us to consider the latter pathway, involving an unprecedented photocleavage of the benzisothiazole (saccharyl) ring, as the preferred photodegradation channel of 1-TE-BZT.
