- Ligand-controlled divergent dehydrogenative reactions of carboxylic acids via C–H activation
-
Dehydrogenative transformations of alkyl chains to alkenes through methylene carbon-hydrogen (C–H) activation remain a substantial challenge. We report two classes of pyridine-pyridone ligands that enable divergent dehydrogenation reactions through palladium-catalyzed b-methylene C–H activation of carboxylic acids, leading to the direct syntheses of a,b-unsaturated carboxylic acids or g-alkylidene butenolides. The directed nature of this pair of reactions allows chemoselective dehydrogenation of carboxylic acids in the presence of other enolizable functionalities such as ketones, providing chemoselectivity that is not possible by means of existing carbonyl desaturation protocols. Product inhibition is overcome through ligand-promoted preferential activation of C(sp3)–H bonds rather than C(sp2)–H bonds or a sequence of dehydrogenation and vinyl C–H alkynylation. The dehydrogenation reaction is compatible with molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant.

- High-performance 3D printing UV-curable resins derived from soybean oil and gallic acid
-
Developing sustainable 3D printing materials has attained intensive interest due to the rapid growth of the 3D printing industry and the concerns on depletion of fossil resources and environmental pollution. In this work, a novel biobased UV-curable oligomer (GMAESO) was firstly synthesized from epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) and gallic acid (GA) via a 'green' one pot method. The obtained biobased oligomer possessed a biobased content of 82.9%. By co-photopolymerization of the obtained oligomer with a hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) diluent, a series of UV-curable materials were prepared, and their properties as well as curing behaviors were investigated. Notably, the resulting GMAESO resins with high HEMA contents (50-60%) showed low viscosities (52-93 mPa s) and excellent thermal and mechanical properties (a Tg of 128-130 °C, Tp >430 °C, a tensile strength of 42.2-44.4 MPa, etc.) which were comparable or superior to a commercial product. Furthermore, the optimal resin (GMAESO with 50% HEMA) was used for digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing. The resin showed lower penetration depth (0.277 mm) than the commercial resin, thus different-structured objects with high resolution were successfully printed. In general, the developed bio-based UV-curable resins are very promising for application in the 3D printing industry.

- Supported Rb- or Cs-containing HPA catalysts for the selective oxidation of isobutane
-
Silica-supported catalysts based on Keggin-type heteropolyacids (HPAs) containing rubidium or cesium as counter cations have been prepared by the impregnation method and evaluated in the selective oxidation of isobutane to methacrolein and methacrylic acid. The catalysts were characterized by various techniques such as XRD, N2 physisorption, TGA, Raman spectroscopy, H2-TPR, and NH3-TPD in order to study their thermal stability, structural, and textural properties, acidity and reducibility. It was evidenced that the reducibility of the Keggin type HPAs was improved by supporting the active phase on SiO2. A loading of 40 wt% was the optimum for the selective oxidation of isobutane (IBAN) to methacrylic acid (MAA). The selectivities to MAA and methacrolein (MAC) at given conversion were increased when Cs+ was used as counter cation compared to Rb+. The same trend was observed for mono- and di-vanado-substituted phosphomolybdic acid, whereby the performance followed the order: CsV1/SiO2 > RbV1/SiO2 > CsV2/SiO2 > RbV2/SiO2. The density of acid sites was correlated to the catalytic activity, which underlines the importance of the acid sites for alkane activation.

- The role of steam in selective oxidation of methacrolein over H3PMo12O40
-
Role of steam in selective oxidation of methacrolein with molecular oxygen over H3PMo12O40 catalyst was investigated. Addition of steam to feed gas significantly enhanced both catalytic activity and selectivity to methacrylic acid, which were fivefold and twice increases, respectively, under the optimal steam pressure (PH2O = 0.13 atm). Kinetic analysis demonstrated that the addition of steam caused 200-fold increase in the pre-exponential factor for the formation of methacrylic acid, leading to the significant increase in the activity. The steam in the feed gas varied hydrous state of H3PMo12O40 under the reaction conditions, while did not alter redox property, molecular and crystalline structures, and surface area of the catalyst. In the presence of steam at 573 K, three H2O per one H3PMo12O40 were absorbed and hydrated protons like [H3O]+ were formed in the bulk of H3PMo12O40. Methacrolein was adsorbed on the surface of the hydrous catalyst, but not on anhydrous one at all. Based on the results, it was concluded that activation of methacrolein readily occurred on the catalyst in the presence of steam, leading to the significant increase in the pre–exponential factor. Quantum chemical calculation supported the smooth activation of methacrolein by the reaction with [H3O]+ without any transition state.

- Strong Br?nsted acid-modified chromium oxide as an efficient catalyst for the selective oxidation of methacrolein to methacrylic acid
-
Gas–phase oxidation of methacrolein to methacrylic acid was carried out over an acid-modified Cr2O3/SiO2 catalyst. While only total oxidation occurred over bare Cr2O3/SiO2, the acid-modified Cr2O3/SiO2 showed catalytic activity for the formation of methacrylic acid. In particular, H3PW12O40 strong Br?nsted acid was the most effective modifier for improving both activity and selectivity. The interface between Cr2O3 and H3PW12O40 particles on SiO2 appears to be responsible for the formation of active sites for the selective formation of methacrylic acid. The strong Br?nsted acid would help the activation of methacrolein through rendering it more electrophilic, which is a key step for the formation of methacrylic acid over the present catalyst.

- Selective oxidation of methacrolein to methacrylic acid on carbon catalysts
-
Different carbon structures (activated carbon, carbon nanotubes, graphene and graphite)were investigated for the replacement of heteropoly catalysts for the oxidation of methacrolein to methacrylic acid. Activated carbon showed the best catalytic performance with higher catalytic activity than molybdovanaphosphoric acid at lower temperatures. The catalytic performance of activated carbon was further improved by the addition of heteroatoms, such as P, B, N and S. The latter occupy the electrophilic oxygen functional groups thus preventing further oxidation of methacrylic acid and improving reaction selectivity. The best catalytic performance results were obtained on activated carbon with 10 wt% P, where methacrolein conversion, methacrylic acid selectivity and yield at 270 °C were 40.1, 70.8 and 30.3%, respectively. The results of the present work show a novel way to design non-metal catalysts for the selective oxidation of methacrolein to methacrylic acid.

An environmentally-benign, efficient and inexpensive high-surface-area barium hexa-aluminate (BaAl12O19, BHA) was developed as a catalyst for the decarboxylation of the biomass-derived itaconic acid (IA) to bio-based methacrylic acid (MAA). A maximal 50% final yield of MAA with a high product selectivity was obtained under relatively mild synthesis reaction conditions (250 °C; 20 bar N2). The reported selective MAA production was elevated, operating process characteristics were significantly less harsh, and no depleting critical raw materials were utilized when paralleled to the procedures with alkaline mineral bases, noble metal-containing heterogeneous catalysis systems and unrenewable feed resources (e.g. isobutene), applied previously. It was found that the doping of palladium on BHA support (Pd@BHA) did not improve MAA productivity. The effect of the time (25–300 min), temperature (175–275 °C), pressure (10–40 bar), reacting substrate concentration (0.10–0.19 mol L–1), metallic oxide mass (0.5–3.0 g) and type on IA conversion, MAA content MAA content and rates was determined, examining also recyclability. BHA catalyst was characterized with various structural techniques, such as energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), CO2 temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and N2 physisorption.

- Oxidative Esterification of Methacrolein to Methyl Methacrylate over Gold Nanoparticles on Hydroxyapatite
-
The catalytic production of methyl methacrylate through the direct oxidative esterification of methacrolein is important in terms of green chemistry and sustainable development. In the present work, Au nanoparticles supported on three needle-like, lamella-like, and rodlike hydroxyapatites were synthesized. We demonstrated that needle-like hydroxyapatite could facilitate the higher dispersion of Au species because of its high specific surface area, and the strong interaction between the Au nanoparticles and the support resulted in the formation of more surface defects because of the existence of partially encapsulated Au particles by the needle-like hydroxyapatite. The surface defects were related closely to the generation of strong basic sites. Compared with the other two materials, the Au supported on the needle-like hydroxyapatite catalyst, which had a large amount of surface acid–base sites, exhibited a much higher catalytic activity and selectivity to methyl methacrylate in the direct oxidative esterification of methacrolein with methanol under mild reaction conditions (i.e., ambient pressure, low reaction temperature of 70 °C, and low methanol/aldehyde ratio of 8:1). The superior catalytic performance of the Au supported on needle-like hydroxyapatite catalyst was attributable to a cooperative effect between abundant acid–base sites for the preferential chemisorption of methacrolein and highly dispersed active Au species for the favorable formation of β-hydride and oxygen activation. The present findings open a new and promising route for the practical production of methyl methacrylate using high-performance hydroxyapatite-supported metal catalyst systems.

- Partial oxidation of 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol to methacrylic acid: experimental and neural network modeling
-
Methacrylic acid (MAA) is a specialty intermediate to produce methyl methacrylate (MMA), which is a monomer for poly methyl methacrylate. Current processes to MMA and MAA rely on expensive feedstocks and multi-step processes. Here we investigate the gas-phase oxidation of 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (2MPDO) to MAA over heteropolycompounds as effective catalysts, finding that the maximum selectivity to MAA was 41% with 63% conversion of reactant at 250 °C over Cs(NH4)2PMo12O40(VO)Cu0.5. Cesium (Cs) stabilized the catalyst structure at 250 °C, and vanadium(v) and copper (Cu) played a positive role as an oxidant and promoter, respectively. A 0.3 mm nozzle atomized the liquid reactant over the catalyst surface into a μ-fluidized bed reactor. The proposed Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model predicts MAA selectivity based on 2MPDO and oxygen compositions and catalyst components (Cs, V, Cu) as independent factors. The model accounts for 97% of the variance in the data (R2 = 0.97). Vanadium as a catalyst component and oxygen concentration are the two most significant factors. Genetic algorithms (GA) coupled with ANN modeling optimized the input parameters to improve the selectivity. The selectivity to MAA over the optimized catalyst (Cs(NH4)2PMo12O40(VO)Cu0.15) and optimum feed compositions (2MPDO/O2/Ar = 13%/10%/77%) was 43% at 250 °C.

- An Oxidative Route for the Production of Methyl Methacrylate: A Study Over Iron Phosphate Catalysts
-
Abstract: An iron phosphate catalyst prepared using the ammonia gel method was supported on silica (CAT 1) and a commercial iron phosphate catalyst was supported on silica using the wet impregnation method (CAT 2). The XRD patterns of both the catalysts showed the presence of quartz-like iron phosphate and a tridymite like phase. In situ XRD under a reducing environment and TPR showed the formation of iron pyrophosphate for both the catalysts at 500?°C. The M?ssbauer spectra of the catalysts were similar and showed the presence of the ferric ion only. NH3-TPD revealed the presence of Lewis and Br?nsted acidic sites on both the catalysts. Oxidative dehydrogenation reactions of methyl iso-burate (MIB) were carried out using a continuous flow fixed bed reactor at contact times of 0.4 and 0.8?s. The conversion of MIB was marginally higher at a contact time of 0.8?s. CAT 2 gave an 11?% yield of methyl methacryalate (MMA) compared to 21?% over CAT 1 at a contact time of 0.8?s. The conversion of MIB increased with co-feeding water. A maximum conversion of MIB (82?%) was obtained at 400?°C, giving a yield of 20?% MMA at a contact time of 0.8?s over CAT 1. However, co-feeding water increased the hydrolysis reaction also, which increased the yield towards iso-butyric acid and methacrylic acid. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
