A Light-Releasable Potentially Prebiotic Nucleotide Activating Agent

Investigations into the chemical origin of life have recently benefitted from a holistic approach in which possible atmospheric, organic, and inorganic systems chemistries are taken into consideration. In this way, we now report that a selective phosphate activating agent, namely methyl isocyanide, could plausibly have been produced from simple prebiotic feedstocks. We show that methyl isocyanide drives the conversion of nucleoside monophosphates to phosphorimidazolides under potentially prebiotic conditions and in excellent yields for the first time. Importantly, this chemistry allows for repeated reactivation cycles, a property long sought in nonenzymatic oligomerization studies. Further, as the isocyanide is released upon irradiation, the possibility of spatially and temporally controlled activation chemistry is thus raised.
Ethanol gas-phase ammoxidation to acetonitrile: The reactivity of supported vanadium oxide catalysts
Folco,Velasquez Ochoa,Cavani,Ott,Janssen
, p. 200 - 212 (2017)
New insights on the gas-phase ammoxidation of ethanol to acetonitrile over supported vanadia catalysts were obtained by means of reactivity experiments (in ethanol ammoxidation and oxidation) as well as in situ Raman and DRIFT spectroscopy. It was found that the rate-determining step during the redox process depends on the support type. In the case of V2O5/ZrO2, the V oxidation state under reaction conditions is closer to V5+, whereas with V2O5/TiO2, the reduction of V5+ is faster than the re-oxidation of the corresponding reduced V species by O2; thus, the V oxidation state under steady state conditions is lower than for V2O5/ZrO2. In the latter catalyst, the more oxidized V species is responsible for ammonia activation and reaction with the intermediate acetaldehyde, leading in the end to a better acetonitrile yield than with V2O5/TiO2. It was also found that V2O5/ZrO2 is more selective to acetaldehyde than V2O5/TiO2. With the former catalyst, ethanol is able to reduce V2O5 only to a limited extent. Conversely, V2O5/TiO2 is readily reduced by ethanol but this reduced V species is responsible for an unselective oxidation of the alcohol, giving more CO and CO2.

The effect of the acidity of CH groups within the guests on the binding ability of the aromatic cavity of rigid cone conformers of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene toward guests containing acid CH3 and CH2 groups have been investigated in a
Product selectivity controlled by manganese oxide crystals in catalytic ammoxidation

The performances of heterogeneous catalysts can be effectively tuned by changing the catalyst structures. Here we report a controllable nitrile synthesis from alcohol ammoxidation, where the nitrile hydration side reaction could be efficiently prevented by changing the manganese oxide catalysts. α-Mn2O3 based catalysts are highly selective for nitrile synthesis, but MnO2-based catalysts including α, β, γ, and δ phases favour the amide production from tandem ammoxidation and hydration steps. Multiple structural, kinetic, and spectroscopic investigations reveal that water decomposition is hindered on α-Mn2O3, thus to switch off the nitrile hydration. In addition, the selectivity-control feature of manganese oxide catalysts is mainly related to their crystalline nature rather than oxide morphology, although the morphological issue is usually regarded as a crucial factor in many reactions.

Paragraph 0046-0049, (2020/04/10)
The invention relates to a process for producing a product gas comprising acetonitrile and/or hydrogen cyanide from a feed stream comprising ammonia and methanol over a solid catalyst comprising a support, a first metal and a second metal on the support, wherein the first metal and the second metal are in the form of a chemical compound, wherein the first metal is Fe, Ru or Co and the second metal is Sn, Zn, or Ge. The pressure is ambient pressure or higher and the temperature lies in a range from about 400° C. to about 700° C. Thus, the process for producing acetonitrile and/or hydrogen cyanide from ammonia and methanol may be catalyzed by a single catalyst and may be carried out in a single reactor. The invention also relates to a catalyst, a method for activating a catalyst and use of a catalyst for catalysing production of acetonitrile and/or hydrogen cyanide from ammonia and methanol.

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.
