The catalyst systems Mo/Co/K/ZSM-5 and Mo/Ni/K/ZSM-5, alone and with the added copper-based water gas shift catalyst, were used for the conversion of two CO/H2 ratios in a batch reactor. GC analysis of the gas phase was used to determine CO conversion while GCMS and NMR studies were used to characterize the liquid products formed and liquid product selectivities. The liquids were hydrocarbons consisting mainly of alkyl substituted benzenes. Methyl substitution in the alkyl benzenes in the product liquid ranged from an average of 1.3 to 4.5 methyls per ring depending on reaction conditions and reactant gas mole ratios. The additional presence of the WGS catalyst significantly increased CO conversion in the reactions taking place at 280 °C from ～25% to ～90% while increasing selectivity toward higher average methyl substitution. Similar conversions and selectivities were observed with both a bio-syngas and a 50/50 mixture of H2 and CO.
One-pot production of hydrocarbon oil from poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is an energy storage material of many microbial species, and has been found to be an effective feedstock for production of renewable hydrocarbon oils. A high oil yield (up to 38.2 wt%) was obtained in a phosphoric acid (H3PO4) solution at mild temperatures (165-240 °C). PHB and crotonic acid (C4H 6O2), a dominant thermal degradation product of PHB, were deoxygenated mainly via decarboxylation, generating similar liquid and gaseous products. Carbon dioxide and propylene were the major products in gas phase with little CO formation. The hydrocarbon oil (C4-C16) is a mixture of alkanes, alkenes, benzenes and naphthalenes. Aromatics (C10-C15) were the major hydrocarbons in a 100 wt% H3PO4 solution, while alkenes and alkanes (C4-C9) were favored in diluted solutions (50 wt% to 85 wt% H 3PO4). The concentration of H3PO4 was a key factor that affected the oil composition and yield. A highly efficient decarboxylation of crotonic acid at 220 °C for 3 hours resulted in 70.8 wt% of oxygen being removed as CO2 and 57.0 wt% of carbon being recovered as hydrocarbon oil. The H3PO4 solution can be repeatedly used for high yield oil production. This work shows that a type of new biological feedstock can be used to produce renewable hydrocarbon oil in an efficient one-pot reaction. This journal is the Partner Organisations 2014.

Two isomeric ferrocene derivatives have been obtained from 2-(2-ethyl-4,6-dimethylphenyl)-1,3-dimethylcyclopentadiene (22a).The exo,exo- (9) as well as the endo,endo-configuration (10) of these were determined by X-ray structure analysis.The assignment of the 1H NMR signals of the methyl groups in the spectrum of 1,1',3,3'-tetramethyl-2,2'-dimesitylferrocen (7) is derived from the spectra of 9 and 10.Signals of methyl groups in exo-position of the mesitylferrocene are shifted by -0.74 ppm to higher magnetic field.Signals of methyl groups in endo-position directed towards the iron atom are shifted downfield by +0.71 ppm.Therefore, ferrocene develops a diamagnetic anisotropy which is similar to that of benzene.
Alkyltrifluoromethanesulphonates as alkylating reagents for aromatic compounds

Methyl and ethyl trifluoromethanesulphonates (' triflates '), prepared by conventional routes involving either trifluoromethanesulphonic acid (' triflic acid ') or its anhydride, contain traces of triflic acid as an impurity, which catalyse their alkylation reactions with aromatic compounds. Pure methyl triflate, obtained from reaction between CH3l and CFS03Ag, does not alkylate p-cymene after several hours at 100 °C. Pure ethyl triflate, prepared by a similar method, is thermally less stable under these conditions, and alkylation takes place only after long induction periods during which some breakdown to triflic acid occurs. With aromatic substrates such as p-cymene or mesitylene the onset of alkylation is followed rapidly by the formation of isomerisation and disproportionation products. Benzyl triflate, prepared from PhCH2Br and CF3SO3Ag, alkylates p-cymene even at room temperature. The strong Lewis acids SbF5 and AlCl3 similarly catalyse alkylation reactions of methyl and ethyl triflates, but BF3, FeCl3, and SnCl4 are much less effective.
Process for the preparation of substituted vinylbenzyl chloride
-
, (2008/06/13)
An improved continous single step vapor phase process for the preparation of substituted vinylbenzyl chloride from substituted ethyltoluene is disclosed. In this process a substituted ethyltoluene is reacted with a halogen gas in the vapor phase, at elevated temperatures via a continuous feed process. Furthermore, this process achieves halogenation followed by dehydrohalogenation in a single pass through the reactor. There is also obtained a very high total selectivity to vinylbenzyl chloride and its precursors via this continuous process.
