Surfactants such as quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) have been in increasing demand, for emerging new applications. Recent attempts at process intensification of their production have disclosed the need for a better understanding of QAS thermal stability. This work aims to determine the degradation kinetics of various QASs and the associated solvent?effects. The degradation kinetics of four methyl carbonate QASs were determined in various polar solvents in stainless steel batch autoclaves. (Formula presented.) H NMR spectrometry was employed for offline analysis of the reaction mixtures. The kinetic parameters were then used to compare the thermal stability of the four compounds in the polar solvents. Water showed no degradation, and methanol (MeOH) was the solvent that provided the second-best stability. Water–MeOH mixtures may provide an overall optimum. Moreover, and longer long-chain substituents increased the degradation?rate. Thermogravimetric analysis was used to obtain the thermal stability in a solid state, that is, solventless environment. Isoconversional analysis showed that no reliable kinetic parameters could be determined. Nevertheless, the data did allow for a comparison of the thermal stability of 14 different QASs. Furthermore, the relative instability of the compounds in the solid state demonstrated the challenges of solventless QAS?production.

Two strategies were reported to prevent the deactivation of Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) in the hydrogenation of terminal alkynes: reducing the Lewis acidity and polymerizing the Lewis acid. A polymeric Lewis acid (P-BPh3) with high stability was designed and synthesized. Excellent conversion (up to 99%) and selectivity can be achieved in the hydrogenation of terminal alkynes catalyzed by P-BPh3. This catalytic system works quite well for different substrates. In addition, the P-BPh3 can be easily recycled.
ACYCLIC CARBENE LIGAND FOR RUTHENIUM COMPLEX FORMATION, RUTHENIUM COMPLEX CATALYST, AND USE THEREOF
-
Paragraph 0124-0130, (2021/05/14)
Provided are a novel acyclic carbene ligand for ruthenium complex formation; a ruthenium complex catalyst using the ligand; a method of using the complex as a catalyst in an ethylene-metathesis ethenolysis reaction; a method of preparing the ruthenium complex catalyst; and a method of preparing a linear alpha-olefin, the method including the step of reacting a linear or cyclic alkene compound in the presence of the ruthenium complex catalyst. The acyclic carbene ligand of the present invention and the ruthenium complex catalyst using the same have high selectivity and turnover number for terminal olefin formation in an ethylene-metathesis ethenolysis reaction, and thus linear α-olefins may be prepared with a high yield.

Ruthenium-catalysed ethenolysis occurs in a vortex fluidic device (VFD)-a scalable, thin-film microfluidic continuous flow process. This process takes advantage of the efficient mass transfer of gaseous reagents into the dynamic thin film of liquid. Also reported is the rapid quenching of the ruthenium-based olefin metathesis catalyst by the addition of a saturated solution of N-acetyl-l-cysteine in MeCN, as a convenient alternative to previously reported quenching methods.

Deoxygenation of epoxides takes place under the catalysis of nickel in the presence of diethylzinc as a deoxygenation agent to yield alkenes. Epoxides with a wide variety of substitution patterns are deoxygenated in this catalytic system to give terminal, 1,1-disubstituted, 1,2-disubstituted, trisubstituted, and tetrasubstituted alkenes in high yields. Reactions of 1,2-disubstituted epoxides we examined proceeded in an E-stereoselective manner. High compatibility with other functional groups through this transformation was also observed.

-
Paragraph 0054-0060, (2020/09/04)
The present invention relates to an oligomerization method of ethylene using a reactor equipped with a condenser, wherein the method comprises a step of pre-mixing a raw material composition at a low temperature, introducing the composition into the reactor, and inducing an ethylene oligomerization reaction at a low reaction pressure. According to the method of the present invention, it is possible to prepare an oligomer having excellent reaction activity and product selectivity, and even if the oligomerization reaction proceeds at a low pressure condition, energy consumption is reduced compared to a conventional heat removal method.COPYRIGHT KIPO 2020

Dioxomolybdenum complexes supported by aminebisphenolate ligands were evaluated for their potential in catalyzing the deoxydehydration (DODH) reaction to establish structure-activity relationships. The nature of the pendant arm in these aminebisphenolate ligands was found to be crucial in determining reactivity in the deoxydehydration of styrene glycol (1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol) to styrene. Pendant arms bearing strongly coordinating N-based groups such as pyridyl or amino substituents were found to hinder activity while those bearing non-coordinating pendant arms (benzyl) or even weakly coordinating groups (an ether) resulted in up to 6 fold enhancement in catalytic activity. A dioxomolybdenum complex featuring an aminemonophenolate ligand derived from the aminebisphenolate skeleton also resulted in similar yield enhancements. Although aromatic solvents were found to be ideal for performing these catalytic reactions, polar solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and N,N′-dimethylpropyleneurea (DMPU) were also suitable. The catalyst was found to maintain its structural integrity under the optimized conditions and could be recycled for a second catalytic run without loss of activity. With the activated substrate meso-hydrobenzoin, trans-stilbene was obtained in a 56% yield at 220 °C along with benzaldehyde (71%) suggesting that the diol is a competing reductant under these conditions.

Dioxo-molybdenum complexes have been reported as catalysts for the deoxydehydration (DODH) of diols and polyols. Here, we report on the DODH of diols using [Cp*MoO2]2O as catalyst (Cp*=1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl). The DODH reaction was optimized using 2 mol % of [Cp*MoO2]2O, 1.1 equiv. of PPh3 as reductant, and anisole as solvent. Aliphatic vicinal diols are converted to the corresponding olefins by [Cp*MoO2]2O in up to 65 % yield (representing over 30 turnovers per catalyst) and 91 % olefin selectivity, which rivals the performance of other Mo-based DODH catalysts. Remarkably, cis-1,2-cyclohexanediol, which is known as quite a challenging substrate for DODH catalysis, is converted to 30 % of 1-cyclohexene under optimized reaction conditions. Overall, the mass balances (up to 79 %) and TONs per Mo achievable with [Cp*MoO2]2O are amongst the highest reported for molecular Mo-based DODH catalysts. A number of experiments aimed at providing insight in the reaction mechanism of [Cp*MoO2]2O have led to the proposal of a catalytic pathway in which the [Cp*MoO2]2O catalyst reacts with the diol substrate to form a putative nonsymmetric dimeric diolate species, which is reduced in the next step at only one of its Mo-centers before extrusion of the olefin product.

Transition metal catalyzed ethylene copolymerization with polar monomers is a highly challenging reaction. After decades of research, the scope of suitable comonomer substrates has expanded from special to fundamental polar monomers and, recently, to 1,1-disubstituted ethylenes. Described in this contribution is a direct and tandem strategy to realize ethylene copolymerization with various 1,2-disubstituted ethylenes. The direct route is sensitive to sterics of both the comonomers and the catalyst. In the tandem route, ruthenium-catalyzed ethenolysis can convert 1,2-disubstituted ethylenes into terminal olefins, which can be subsequently copolymerized with ethylene to afford polar functionalized polyolefins. The one-pot, two-step tandem route is highly versatile and efficient in dealing with challenging substrates. This work is a step forward in terms of expanding the substrate scope for transition metal catalyzed ethylene copolymerization with polar-functionalized comonomers.

Paragraph 0191-0202; 0229-0232, (2020/09/22)
The present invention relates to a method for preparing alpha-olefins from biomass-derived fats and oils. According to the preparation method, all of the various saturated or unsaturated fatty acids in the biomass-derived fats and oils can be prepared into alpha-olefins, and a conventional problem that the saturated fatty acids do not participate in a reaction or a mixture is generated due to polyunsaturated fatty acids can be solved. Thus, the present invention can be advantageously used to prepare alpha-olefins from biomass.
