- Isomerization of Allene Propyne in Shock Waves and ab Initio Calculations
-
The isomerization allene propyne has been studied behind shock waves over the temperature range between 1300 and 2100 K and the total density range of (0.6-2.4) x 1E-5 mol/cm3.The isomerization rate was monitoring by means of the IR emission from allene and propyne.It was found that the process proceeded in the fall-off region, and the high-pressure limit rate constants were determined as k1 = 1E14.34 exp-1/(RT)> s-1, for the isomerization of allene to propyne, and k-1 = 1E14.14 exp-1/(RT)> s-1, for the isomerization of propyne to allene, using the equilibrium constants.Ab initio molecular orbital calculations have also been performed for the isomerization.It was found that the isomerization proceeded in a series of successive reactions via cyclopropene, which has been suggested by Honjou et al. (Honjou, N.; Pacansky, J.; Yoshimine, M.J.Am.Chem.Soc. 1984, 106, 5361).The rate constants estimated in terms of the transition-state theory, k1 = 1E14.23 exp-1/(RT)> s-1 and k-1 = 1E14.12 exp-1/(RT)> s-1, are consistent with the experimental results.

- Kinetics of thermal gas-phase decomposition of 2-bromopropene using static system
-
The gas phase elimination kinetics of 2-bromopropene was studied over the temperature range of 571-654 K and pressure range of 12-46 Torr using the seasoned static reaction system. Propyne was the only olefinic product formed and accounted for >98% of the reaction. This product was formed by homogeneous, unimolecular pathways with high-pressure first-order rate constant k∞ given by the equation k∞ = 10 13.47±0.6 exp-208.2±6.7(kj mol-1)/RT. The error limits are 95% certainty limits. The observed Arrhenius parameters are consistent with the four centered activated complex. The presence of methyl group on α-carbon lowers the activation energy by 41 kj mol-1.

- Direct Evidence on the Mechanism of Methane Conversion under Non-oxidative Conditions over Iron-modified Silica: The Role of Propargyl Radicals Unveiled
-
Radical-mediated gas-phase reactions play an important role in the conversion of methane under non-oxidative conditions into olefins and aromatics over iron-modified silica catalysts. Herein, we use operando photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy to disentangle the elusive C2+ radical intermediates participating in the complex gas-phase reaction network. Our experiments pinpoint different C2-C5 radical species that allow for a stepwise growth of the hydrocarbon chains. Propargyl radicals (H2C?C≡C?H) are identified as essential precursors for the formation of aromatics, which then contribute to the formation of heavier hydrocarbon products via hydrogen abstraction–acetylene addition routes (HACA mechanism). These results provide comprehensive mechanistic insights that are relevant for the development of methane valorization processes.

- Synthesis of Cyclopentenones with Reverse Pauson-Khand Regiocontrol via Ni-Catalyzed C-C Activation of Cyclopropanone
-
A formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition between cyclopropanone and alkynes via Ni-catalyzed C-C bond activation has been developed, where 1-sulfonylcyclopropanols are employed as key precursors of cyclopropanone in the presence of trimethylaluminum. The transformation provides access to 2,3-disubstituted cyclopentenones with complete regiocontrol, favoring reverse Pauson-Khand products, where the large substituent is located at the 3-position of the ring. In the process, the trimethylaluminum additive is thought to play multiple roles, including as a Br?nsted base triggering the equilibration to cyclopropanone and liberation of methane, as well as a source of Lewis acid to activate the carbonyl group toward Ni-catalyzed C-C activation.

- Synthetic Studies Toward the Skyllamycins: Total Synthesis and Generation of Simplified Analogues
-
Herein, we report our synthetic studies toward the skyllamycins, a highly modified class of nonribosomal peptide natural products which contain a number of interesting structural features, including the extremely rare α-OH-glycine residue. Before embarking on the synthesis of the natural products, we prepared four structurally simpler analogues. Access to both the analogues and the natural products first required the synthesis of a number of nonproteinogenic amino acids, including three β-OH amino acids that were accessed from the convenient chiral precursor Garner's aldehyde. Following the preparation of the suitably protected nonproteinogenic amino acids, the skyllamycin analogues were assembled using a solid-phase synthetic route followed by a final stage solution-phase cyclization reaction. To access the natural products (skyllamycins A-C) the synthetic route used for the analogues was modified. Specifically, linear peptide precursors containing a C-terminal amide were synthesized via solid-phase peptide synthesis. After cleavage from the resin the N-terminal serine residue was oxidatively cleaved to a glyoxyamide moiety. The target natural products, skyllamycins A-C, were successfully prepared via a final step cyclization with concomitant formation of the unusual α-OH-glycine residue. Purification and spectroscopic comparison to the authentic isolated material confirmed the identity of the synthetic natural products.

- Lanthanide-Catalyzed Reversible Alkynyl Exchange by Carbon–Carbon Single-Bond Cleavage Assisted by a Secondary Amino Group
-
Lanthanide-catalyzed alkynyl exchange through C?C single-bond cleavage assisted by a secondary amino group is reported. A lanthanide amido complex is proposed as a key intermediate, which undergoes unprecedented reversible β-alkynyl elimination followed by alkynyl exchange and imine reinsertion. The in situ homo- and cross-dimerization of the liberated alkyne can serve as an additional driving force to shift the metathesis equilibrium to completion. This reaction is formally complementary to conventional alkyne metathesis and allows the selective transformation of internal propargylamines into those bearing different substituents on the alkyne terminus in moderate to excellent yields under operationally simple reaction conditions.

The reaction proceeds through a tandem Claisen rearrangement and 6-endo-trig or 6-endo-dig cyclization sequence. For prenyl ethers, the tandem sequence can be extended by a Cope rearrangement to furnish 6-prenylchromones. The method is potentially useful for the synthesis of natural products and drugs.

- Direct, nonoxidative conversion of methane to ethylene, aromatics, and hydrogen
-
The efficient use of natural gas will require catalysts that can activate the first C-H bond of methane while suppressing complete dehydrogenation and avoiding overoxidation. We report that single iron sites embedded in a silica matrix enable direct, nonoxidative conversion of methane, exclusively to ethylene and aromatics. The reaction is initiated by catalytic generation of methyl radicals, followed by a series of gas-phase reactions. The absence of adjacent iron sites prevents catalytic C-C coupling, further oligomerization, and hence, coke deposition. At 1363 kelvin, methane conversion reached a maximum at 48.1% and ethylene selectivity peaked at 48.4%, whereas the total hydrocarbon selectivity exceeded 99%, representing an atom-economical transformation process of methane. The lattice-confined single iron sites delivered stable performance, with no deactivation observed during a 60-hour test.

- Experimental investigation of the low temperature oxidation of the five isomers of hexane
-
The low-temperature oxidation of the five hexane isomers (n-hexane, 2-methyl-pentane, 3-methyl-pentane, 2,2-dimethylbutane, and 2,3-dimethylbutane) was studied in a jet-stirred reactor (JSR) at atmospheric pressure under stoichiometric conditions between 550 and 1000 K. The evolution of reactant and product mole fraction profiles were recorded as a function of the temperature using two analytical methods: gas chromatography and synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometry (SVUV-PIMS). Experimental data obtained with both methods were in good agreement for the five fuels. These data were used to compare the reactivity and the nature of the reaction products and their distribution. At low temperature (below 800 K), n-hexane was the most reactive isomer. The two methyl-pentane isomers have about the same reactivity, which was lower than that of n-hexane. 2,2-Dimethylbutane was less reactive than the two methyl-pentane isomers, and 2,3-dimethylbutane was the least reactive isomer. These observations are in good agreement with research octane numbers given in the literature. Cyclic ethers with rings including 3, 4, 5, and 6 atoms have been identified and quantified for the five fuels. While the cyclic ether distribution was notably more detailed than in other literature of JSR studies of branched alkane oxidation, some oxiranes were missing among the cyclic ethers expected from methyl-pentanes. Using SVUV-PIMS, the formation of C 2-C3 monocarboxylic acids, ketohydroperoxides, and species with two carbonyl groups have also been observed, supporting their possible formation from branched reactants. This is in line with what was previously experimentally demonstrated from linear fuels. Possible structures and ways of decomposition of the most probable ketohydroperoxides were discussed. Above 800 K, all five isomers have about the same reactivity, with a larger formation from branched alkanes of some unsaturated species, such as allene and propyne, which are known to be soot precursors.

The results are consistent with carbonization of benzene and decomposition of non-absorbing acetonitrile in carbonizing benzene through collisions with excited benzene and/or its fragments. The solid products from benzene and acetonitrile-benzene mixture have large surface area and are characterized as nanomagnetic amorphous carbonaceous soot containing unsaturated C centers prone to oxidation. The nanosoot from acetonitrile-benzene mixture incorporates CN groups, confirms reactions of benzene fragments with CN radical and has a potential for modification by reactions at the CN bonds.

- Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of cassiarin A as potential antimalarials with vasorelaxant activity
-
Cassiarin A 1, a tricyclic alkaloid, isolated from the leaves of Cassia siamea (Leguminosae), shows powerful antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum in vitro as well as P. berghei in vivo, which may be valuable leads for novel antimalarials. Interactions of parasitized red blood cells (pRBCs) with endothelium in aorta are especially important in the processes contribute to the pathogenesis of severe malaria. Nitric oxide (NO) reduces endothelial expression of receptors/adhesion molecules used by pRBC to adhere to vascular endothelium, and reduces cytoadherence of pRBC to vascular endothelium. Cassiarin A 1 showed vasorelaxation activity against rat aortic ring, which may be related with NO production. A series of a hydroxyl and a nitrogen-substituted derivatives and a dehydroxy derivative of 1 have been synthesized as having potent antimalarials against P. falciparum with vasodilator activity, which may reduce cytoadherence of pRBC to vascular endothelium. Cassiarin A 1 exhibited a potent antimalarial activity and a high selectivity index in vitro, suggesting that the presence of a hydroxyl and a nitrogen atom without any substituents may be important to show antimalarial activity. Relative to cassiarin A, a methoxy derivative showed more potent vasorelaxant activity, although it did not show improvement for inhibition of P. falciparum in vitro. These cassiarin derivatives may be promising candidates as antimalarials with different mode of actions.

- Cyclic versus linear isomers produced by reaction of the methylidyne radical (CH) with small unsaturated hydrocarbons
-
The reactions of the methylidyne radical (CH) with ethylene, acetylene, allene, and methylacety- lene are studied at room temperature using tunable vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photoionization and time- resolved mass spectrometry. The CH radicals are prepared by 248 nm multiphoton photolysisof CHBr 3 at 298 K and react with the selected hydrocarbon i n a helium gas flow. Analysis of photoionization efficiency versus VUV photon wavelength permits isomer-specific detection of the reaction products and allows estimation of the reaction product branching ratios. The reactions proceed by either CH insertion or addition followed by H atom elimination from the intermediate adduct. In the CH + C 2 H 4 reaction the C 3 H 5 intermediate decays byH atom loss to yield 70(±8)percent allene, 30(±8)percent methylacetylene, and less than 10percent cyclopropene, in agreement with previous RRKM results. In the CH + acetylene reaction, detection of mai nly the cyclic C 3 H 2 isomer is contrary to a previous RRKM calculations that predicted linear triplet propargylene to be 90percent of the total H-atom coproducts. High-level CBS-APNO quantum calculations and RRKM calculations for the CH + C 2 H 2 reaction presented in this manuscript predict a higher contribution of the cyclic C 3 H 2 (27.0percent) versus triplet propargylene (63.5percent) than earlier predictions. Extensive calculations onthe C 3 H 3 and C 3 H 2 D system combined with experimental isotope ratios for the CD + C 2 H2 reaction indicate that H-atom-assisted isomerization in the present experiments is responsible for the remaining discrepancy between the new RRKM calculations and the experimental results. Cyclic isomers are also found to represent 30(±6)percent of the detected products in the case of CH + methylacetylene, together with 33(±6)percent 1,2,3- butatriene and 37(±6)percent vinylacetylene. The CH + allene reaction gives 23(±5)percent 1,2,3-butatriene and 77(±5)percent vinylacetylene, whereas cyclic isomers are produced below the detection limit in this reaction. The reaction exit channels deduced by comparing the product distributions for the aforementioned reactions are discussed in detail.

- Detailed chemical kinetic modeling of pyrolysis of ethylene, acetylene, and propylene at 1073-1373 K with a plug-flow reactor model
-
This study examines the predictive capability of our recently proposed reaction mechanism (Norinaga and Deutschmann, Ind Eng Chem Res 2007, 46, 3547) for hydrocarbon pyrolysis at varying temperature. The conventional flow reactor experiments were conducted at 8 kPa, over the temperature range 1073-1373 K, using ethylene, acetylene, and propylene as reactants to validate the mechanism. More than 40 compounds were identified and quantitatively analyzed by on- and off-line gas chromatography. The chemical reaction schemes consisting of 227 species and 827 reactions were coupled with a plug-flow reactor model that incorporated the experimentally measured axial temperature profile of the reactor. Comparisons between the computations and the experiments are presented for more than 30 products including hydrogen and hydrocarbons ranging from methane to coronene as a function of temperature. The model can predict the compositions of major products (mole fractions larger than 10-2) in the pyrolysis of three hydrocarbons with satisfactory accuracies over the whole temperature range considered. Mole fraction profiles of minor compounds including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) up to three ring systems, such as phenanthrene, anthracene, and phenylnaphthalene, are also fairly modeled. At temperatures lower than 1273 K, larger PAHs were underpredicted and the deviation became larger with decreasing temperature and increasing molecular mass of PAHs, while better agreements were found at temperatures higher than 1323 K.

The tetrachloride salt of uranium reacts with 1 equiv of the lithium ligand Li2[(C5Me4)2SiMe2] in DME to form the complex [η5-(C5Me4)2SiMe2]UCl2·2LiCl·2DME (1), which undergoes a rapid hydrolysis in toluene to yield the dimeric bridged monochloride, monooxide complex [{[η5-(C5Me4)2SiMe2]UCl}2(μ-O)(μ-Cl)?Li?1/2DME]2 (2). Metathesis of 2 with BuLi in DME gives the mono-bridged dibutyl complex {[η5-(C5Me4)2SiMe2]UBu}2(μ-O) (3). Complex 2 was characterized by solid-state X-ray analysis. Complex 3 was found to be an active catalyst for the disproportionation metathesis of TMSC≡CH (TMS = SiMe3) and the cross-metathesis of TMSC≡CH or TMSC≡CTMS with various terminal alkynes. The metathesis of TMSC≡CH gives TMSC≡CTMS and HC≡CH, whereas the cross-metathesis of TMSC≡CH or TMSC≡CTMS with terminal alkynes (RC≡CH) yields TMSC≡CTMS, TMSC≡CR, and HC≡CH. In addition, TMSC≡CCH3 also was found to react with tBuC≡CH, yielding TMSC≡CBut and CH3C≡CH. A plausible mechanism for the catalytic process is presented. Copyright

- Reaction of C-silylated α-diazophosphines as nucleophiles toward carbonyl compounds: A mechanistic study and application to the synthesis of alkynes and α-hydroxyphosphonamides
-
Diversely substituted α-hydroxyphosphonamides and alkynes have been efficiently synthesized through the reaction of C-silylated α- diazophosphines with different types of aldehydes (2 equiv) in a neutral medium under very mild conditions. The reaction with some chiral aldehydes is highly diastereoselective leading to phosphonamides as single diastereomers. The novel reaction is influenced by electronic and steric effects being precluded for aromatic aldehydes containing electron-releasing substituents on the phenyl ring and for bulky aliphatic aldehydes. The mechanistic studies of these processes, which are highly exothermic, provide evidence for a nucleophilic attack of the diazophosphine to the aldehyde leading to a betaine that rapidly rearranges to a diazomethylenephosphorane, which has been detected or captured in some instances. The diazomethylenephosphorane reacts with a second molecule of aldehyde according to a Wittig-type condensation, and the rate-determining step of the whole process is believed to be the decomposition of the resultant oxaphosphetane to afford the hydroxyphosphonamide and a diazocumulene. Finally, this intermediate loses molecular nitrogen giving a transient carbene that rapidly evolves toward the alkyne.

- On-line analysis of gas-phase composition in the combustion chamber and particle emission characteristics during combustion of wood and waste in a small batch reactor
-
The emission of participate matter and gaseous compounds during combustion of wood and refuse-derived fuel in a small batch reactor is investigated by laser mass-spectrometric on-line measurement techniques for gas-phase analysis and simultaneous registration of physical aerosol properties (number size distribution). The gas-phase composition is addressed by a laser-based mass spectrometric method, namely, vacuum-UV single-photon ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (VUV-SPI-TOFMS). Particle-size distributions are measured with a scanning mobility particle sizer. Furthermore, a photoelectric aerosol sensor is applied for detection of particle-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The different phases of wood combustion are distinguishable by both the chemical profiles of gas-phase components (e.g., polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PAH) and the particle-size distribution. Furthermore, short disturbances of the combustion process due to air supply shortages are investigated regarding their effect on particle-size distribution and gas-phase composition, respectively. It is shown that the combustion conditions strongly influence the particle-size distribution as well as on the emission of particle-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

- Molecular library obtained by allene insertion into the Pd-C bond of cyclopalladated complexes: Biological and pharmacological evaluation
-
A minilibrary of cationic N-heterocycles has been prepared and evaluated. The potential for the preparation was a result of the high versatility of palladium-mediated chemistry. The synthesis of the novel molecules was based on intramolecular quaternization of tertiary amine attached allylpalladium complexes. The steric and electronic factors of the reaction are discussed. The structures of the synthesized molecules made them candidates for precise biological and pharmacological evaluations. Of the various N-heterocyclic compounds, 2,2-dimethyl-3-methylenenaphtho[de/]quinolizinium showed antibacterial activity at micromolar concentrations. This compound also proved to be a nanomolar competitive antagonist for the channel site of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004.

- Semivolatile and volatile compounds in combustion of polyethylene
-
The evolution of semivolatile and volatile compounds in the combustion of polyethylene (PE) was studied at different operating conditions in a horizontal quartz reactor. Four combustion runs at 500 and 850°C with two different sample mass/air flow ratios and two pyrolytic runs at the same temperatures were carried out. Thermal behavior of different compounds was analyzed and the data obtained were compared with those of literature. It was observed that α,ω-olefins, α-olefins and n-paraffins were formed from the pyrolytic decomposition at low temperatures. On the other hand, oxygenated compounds such as aldehydes were also formed in the presence of oxygen. High yields were obtained of carbon oxides and light hydrocarbons, too. At high temperatures, the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) took place. These compounds are harmful and their presence in the combustion processes is related with the evolution of pyrolytic puffs inside the combustion chamber with a poor mixture of semivolatile compounds evolved with oxygen. Altogether, the yields of more than 200 compounds were determined. The collection of the semivolatile compounds was carried out with XAD-2 adsorbent and were analyzed by GC-MS, whereas volatile compounds and gases were collected in a Tedlar bag and analyzed by GC with thermal conductivity and flame ionization detectors.

- Synthesis and pyrolytic and kinetic behaviour of β,δ′-dioxo-stabilised phosphorus ylides: Convenient preparation of γ,δ-alkynyl ketones and 2,3-functionalised butadienes
-
Both ketone- and ester-stabilised phosphorus ylides undergo Michael addition to vinyl ketones to give the β,δ′-dioxo ylides 3 and 5, respectively, although in the latter case careful temperature control is required to avoid an undesired side-reaction. Under conditions of flash vacuum pyrolysis at 650 °C the ylides 3 generally undergo Ph3PO extrusion to afford the γ,δ-alkynyl ketones 14, although these are found to partly undergo a secondary fragmentation. In contrast, the ylides 5 react under the same conditions to give the synthetically useful 1,3-dienes 20 by way of cyclobutenes. Rate constants for the reaction of selected ylides 3 and 5 are reported. ( Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003).

- In situ generation of 1-propyne: A useful introduction of 1-propyne on unsaturated halogenated compounds through the sonogashira reaction
-
Reaction of (E/Z)-1-bromopropene with exactly 1.42 equivalents of nBuLi followed by addition of water produces in situ a THF solution of propyne. Addition of a vinylic or aromatic halogenated substrates, Pd(PPh3)2Cl2, CuI and an amine to this solution give high yield of the corresponding coupling product beating a propyne moiety. This practical procedure avoids the use of expensive and inflammable propyne gas which need a special apparatus for bubbling it into the reaction flask.

- Laser powered homogeneous pyrolysis of ethyne, propyne, and propadiene initiated by methyl radicals: Formation and degradation of hydrocarbons at 800-950 K
-
Applying laser heating by fast vibrational-translational energy transfer in a quasi-wall-free reactor the pyrolysis of ethyne (C2H2), propyne (p-C3H4), and propadiene (a-C3H4) was studied experimentally at 0.13 bar in the medium temperature range of 800-950 K with respect to the degradation and formation of hydrocarbons. The radical/hydrocarbon chemistry was chemically induced via CH3 radicals produced by the fast thermal dissociation of di-tert-butyl-peroxide DTBP ((tert-C4H9O)2 → 2 CH3 + 2 CH3COCH3). Complete analysis of the product yields was achieved by means of GC-MS with special attention to isomeric product and benzene formation. The product distribution, the temperature dependence and the underlying reaction schemes were analyzed by kinetic models developed for high temperature alkane oxidation/pyrolysis and aromatic formation in premixed ethene and ethyne flames. The primary attack of the unsaturated hydrocarbons by CH3 radicals in the studied temperature range occurs via the addition to the double/triple bond and via hydrogen atom abstraction, leading to different classes of radicals. For the reaction system C2H2 + CH3 high yields of C6H6 with a marked negative temperature dependence were observed. A semi-quantitative description of the C6H6 yield was obtained by a reaction sequence of successive addition of C2H2 to the radicals C2H3 (from C2H2 + H) and C4H5, being consistent with recent discussed reaction networks. For the reaction systems p-C3H4 + CH3 and a-C3H4 + CH3 only qualitative agreement between measured and modelled product yields was found, pointing to a lack of reliable data of the reactions of p-C3H4/a-C3H4/C3H 3/H. Modified mechanisms are presented for the radical rich reaction systems C2H2 + CH3, p-C3H4 + CH3, and a-C3H4 + CH3 experimentally studied.

- Electrosynthesis of Allene (propadiene) and of propyne (methylacetylene) through the anodic decarboxylation reaction (part 2)
-
The anodic decarboxylation reaction is a general reaction that can be applied with success to several suitable precursors. This work presents the electrochemical synthesis of allene by anodic oxidation of potassium itaconate. It is also shown that the anodic oxidation of potassium citraconate produces propyne. In both cases, unsaturated hydrocarbons were formed together with CO and CO2. The electrooxidation of potassium crotonate leads to a simultaneous formation of propyne and allene (the latter in considerably smaller amounts than the former). Also in this case, formation of the unsaturated hydrocarbons is accompanied by the formation of CO and CO2.

- Flash vacuum pyrolysis over solid catalysts. 1. Pyrazoles over zeolitest
-
Flash vacuum pyrolysis (fvp) reactions of 1H-pyrazole (1), 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (2), and 3,5-diphenylpyrazole (3) were carried out over zeolites. Reactions were performed using ZCOY-7, NH4-Y, and Na-Y zeolites. Reaction temperatures of heterogeneous reactions were lower than the corresponding temperatures in the homogeneous system, showing a catalytic effect of the zeolites. Compounds 1-3 afforded nitrogen extrusion in homogeneous fvp reactions while in the heterogeneous ones different reactions were present. Compounds 1 and 2 also afforded nitrogen extrusion; products arising from ring fragmentation were found in reactions of 2 and 3 while an isomeric imidazole was isolated in reactions of 3. Isomerization of 3 is attributed to a transition-state selectivity by the catalyst due to the relation between the size of the molecule and the cavity of the zeolite. This isomerization reaction was present only when zeolites with active Broensted sites were used.

- Experimental and modelling study of 1-pentene combustion at fuel-rich conditions
-
A fuel-rich, non-sooting (C/O = 0.773) 1-pentene/oxygen/argon flame is studied experimentally at 50 mbar. The results are compared to computations. The calculations show satisfactory agreement with the data obtained from the measurements. The main channels for 1-pentene decomposition are presented and discussed in view of previous data for a propene flame at similar experimental conditions. Special emphasis is directed towards the formation of the first aromatic ring and the further growth of small aromatic hydrocarbons. By reaction flow analysis, it is found that the major reaction channel for benzene formation results from the recombination of propargyl radicals. Furthermore, the major reaction channels for naphthalene formation are presented. by Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag, Muenchen.

- Detailed combustion kinetics of cyclopentadiene studied in a shock-tube
-
Mixtures of cyclopentadiene and oxygen diluted in argon were used obtain ignition delay data in a single pulse shock-tube. The temperatures ranged from 1278-2110 K and the experimental pressures were between 2.43 and 12.45 atm. The fuel concentrations ranged from 0.5 to 2.5% and the oxygen concentrations were between 3.3 and 16.6%. A Semenov ignition delay expression was determined: τ = 10-12.5 exp(+34500/RT) |C5H6|0.06 |O2|-0.95 |Ar|0.29 sec The concentrations are in mol/cc and the activation energy is in cal/mol Gas-chromatographic analyses were run on samples quenched before the ignition. The kinetics of combustion of cyclopentadiene was modeled with a full scheme containing 439 elementary reactions and a reduced scheme containing 125 reactions. Both ignition delay times and product distribution served as modeling target. The mechanism of combustion of cyclopentadiene is discussed in connection to the combustion of aromat ic fuels.

- The gas-phase pyrolysis of 2,2-dinitropropane: Shock-tube kinetics
-
The thermal decomposition of 2,2-dinitropropane (DNP) was studied in a shock tube at 970-1200 K, under high dilution in argon at 4.5-5.5 atm. The decay of DNP and the production of NO2 were followed spectrophotometrically at 280 and 405 nm, respectively. The major products were CO, NO, CO2, acetone, CH3C≡H, CH2=C=CH2, CH3CN, CH3OH, CH4, H2O, and CH2O. The first step in the decomposition was C-NO2 bond fission. However, the temporal profiles of NO2 during the decomposition were different from those recorded during the decompositions of CH3NO2 or 2-nitropropane, thus pointing to distinctive features in the mechanism. A complation of 90 elementary steps was proposed. Sensitivity analysis of the mechanism showed that only 57 steps were essential to describe the overall pyrolysis. H,OH, NO2. HCO, and HNO played critical roles in the decomposition.
