A systematic study of the degradation of dimethyl phthalate using a high-frequency ultrasonic process
Xu,Chu,Graham, Nigel
, p. 892 - 899 (2013)
A comprehensive study of the sonochemical degradation of dimethyl phthalate (DMP) was carried out using high-frequency ultrasonic processes. The effects of various operating parameters were investigated, including ultrasonic frequency, power density, initial DMP concentration, solution pH and the presence of hydrogen peroxide. In general, a frequency of 400 kHz was the optimum for achieving the highest DMP degradation rate. The degradation rate was directly proportional to the power density and inversely related to the initial DMP concentration. It was interesting to find that faster removal rate was observed under weakly acidic condition, while hydrolysis effect dominated in extreme-basic condition. The addition of hydrogen peroxide can increase the radical generation to some extent. Furthermore, both hydroxylation of the aromatic ring and oxidation of the aliphatic chain appear to be the major mechanism of DMP degradation by sonolysis based on LC/ESI-MS analysis. Among the principle reaction intermediates identified, tri- and tetra-hydroxylated derivatives of DMP, as well as hydroxylated monomethyl phthalates and hydroxylated phthalic acid were reported for the first time in this study. Reaction pathways for DMP sonolysis are proposed based on the detected intermediates.

The 2-(alkylcarbonyl)benzoic acids obtained by esterification of phthalic anhydride are converted into azide derivatives: alkyl 2-[(azidocarbonyl)amino]benzoates and to ureas: dialkyl 2,2′-[carbonyl bis (azanediyl)]dibenzoates. These transformations were carried out using classical Curtius rearrangement conditions in the presence of diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA) in a basic medium, followed by hydrolysis. Subsequently, a final condensation reaction of these urea derivatives enabled us to obtain, for the first time, the new alkyl derivatives, alkyl 2-[2,4-dioxo-1,2-dihydroquinazolin-3(4 H)-yl]benzoates. All the new compounds obtained in satisfactory yields were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR, and by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

We have developed a carbonylative approach to the synthesis of diversely substituted 2-aroylbenzoate esters featuring a new protocol for the carbonylative coupling of aryl bromides with boronic acids and a new strategy to favour carbonylative over non-carbonylative reactions. Two different synthetic pathways-(i) the alkoxycarbonylation of 2-bromo benzophenones and (ii) the carbonylative Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of 2-bromobenzoate esters-were evaluated. The latter approach provided a broader substrate tolerance, and thus was the preferred pathway. We observed that 2-substituted aryl bromides were challenging substrates for carbonylative chemistry favouring the non-carbonylative pathway. However, we found that carbonylative Suzuki-Miyaura couplings can be improved by slow addition of the boronic acid, suppressing the unwanted direct Suzuki coupling and, thus increasing the yield of the carbonylative reaction.

A Br?nsted acidic, ionic liquid containing, heteropolyanion functionalized polysiloxane network was formed by self-condensation of dodecatungstophosphoric acid and a zwitterionic organosilane precursor containing both imidazolinium and sulfonate groups. The resulting hybrid material POS-HPA-IL was investigated as a catalyst for the selective esterification of dicarboxylic acids.

A fully automated on-line system for monitoring the TiO2-based photocatalytic degradation of dimethyl phthalate (DMP) and diethyl phthalate (DEP) using sequential injection analysis (SIA) coupled to liquid chromatography (LC) with UV detection was proposed. The effects of the type of catalyst (sol-gel, Degussa P25 and Hombikat), the amount of catalyst (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 g L-1), and the solution pH (4, 7 and 10) were evaluated through a three-level fractional factorial design (FFD) to verify the influence of the factors on the response variable (degradation efficiency, %). As a result of FFD evaluation, the main factor that influences the process is the type of catalyst. Degradation percentages close to 100% under UV-vis radiation were reached using the two commercial TiO2 materials, which present mixed phases (anatase/rutile), Degussa P25 (82%/18%) and Hombikat (76%/24%). 60% degradation was obtained using the laboratory-made pure anatase crystalline TiO2 phase. The pH and amount of catalyst showed minimum significant effect on the degradation efficiencies of DMP and DEP. Greater degradation efficiency was achieved using Degussa P25 at pH 10 with 1.5 g L-1 catalyst dosage. Under these conditions, complete degradation and 92% mineralization were achieved after 300 min of reaction. Additionally, a drastic decrease in the concentration of BOD5 and COD was observed, which results in significant enhancement of their biodegradability obtaining a BOD5/COD index of 0.66 after the photocatalytic treatment. The main intermediate products found were dimethyl 4-hydroxyphthalate, 4-hydroxy-diethyl phthalate, phthalic acid and phthalic anhydride indicating that the photocatalytic degradation pathway involved the hydrolysis reaction of the aliphatic chain and hydroxylation of the aromatic ring, obtaining products with lower toxicity than the initial molecules.

Pyridazine derivatives are privileged structures because of their potential biological and optical properties. Traditional synthetic methods usually require acid or base as a catalyst under reflux conditions with reaction times ranging from hours to a few days or require microwave assistance to induce the reaction. Herein, this work presents the accelerated synthesis of a pyridazine derivative, 2-phenyl-2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-dione (PDHP), in electrosprayed microdroplets containing an equimolar mixture of phenyl hydrazine and phthalic anhydride or phthalic acid. This reaction occurred on the submillisecond timescale with good yield (over 90 % with the choice of solvent) without using an external catalyst at room temperature. In sharp contrast to the bulk reaction of obtaining a mixture of two products, the reaction in confined microdroplets yields only the important six-membered heterocyclic product PDHP. Results indicated that surface reactions in microdroplets with low pH values cause selectivity, acceleration, and high yields.

, p. 799 - 802 (2018/02/10)
The highly efficient selective monohydrolysis reaction we previously reported has been applied to monohydrolysis of several bulkyl symmetric diesters, including diethyl esters, dipropyl esters, and dibutyl esters. A greater proportion of a polar aprotic co-solvent, DMSO, and aqueous KOH appear to help improve the reactivity of bulky diesters compared to the corresponding dimethyl esters. The procedure is mild and practical, yielding the corresponding half-esters in high yields under simple conditions.

The conditions of the practical selective monohydrolysis of symmetric diesters we previously reported have been modified and applied to selective monohydrolysis of bulky symmetric diesters. While ultrasound is generally considered effective for two-phase reactions, its effect actually turned out to be rather marginal. Instead, use of a larger proportion of a polar aprotic co-solvent, DMSO, and aqueous KOH helped enhance the reaction rates and improve the yields of the half-esters. The reactions are simple, mild and practical without special devices.
