A series of MeOx-modified CeO2 (CeO2-MnOx, CeO2-ZnO, CeO2-MgO, CeO2-CaO, and CeO2-Na2O) catalysts were prepared by the impregnation of CeO2 with corresponding metal nitrates. Acidity and oxidation state of cerium were investigated on both oxidized and reduced catalysts by employing Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) on adsorbed pyridine and in situ H2-Temperature Programmed Reduction/X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (H2-TPR/XAS) techniques, respectively. Metal oxide addition tended to alter both type and number of acid sites on ceria. EXAFS data showed a significant difference in NCe-O between unmodified and CeO2-MeOx, suggesting that added MeOx interferes with vacancy formation on ceria during reduction. In comparison with air-pretreated samples, H2-pretreated ones under similar conversion of 1,5 pentanediol exhibited a higher selectivity towards linear alcohols. Alcohol conversion found to correlate with total acidity (i.e., Br?nsted and Lewis). CeO2 benefited from the addition of alkali (Na) or alkaline earth metals (Mg, Ca) by producing unsaturated alcohols.

Enamines and enol ethers are versatile synthons for chemical synthesis. While several methods have been developed to access such molecules, prefunctionalized starting materials are usually required, and direct desaturation methods remain rare. Herein, we report direct desaturation reactions of N-protected cyclic amines and cyclic ethers using a mild I(III) oxidant, PhI(OAc)2, and an electron-deficient manganese pentafluorophenylporphyrin catalyst, Mn(TPFPP)Cl. This system displays high efficiency for α,β-desaturation of various cyclic amines and ethers. Mechanistic probes suggest that the desaturation reaction occurs via an initial α-C-H hydroxylation pathway, which serves to protect the product from overoxidation.
Production of 1,5-pentanediol via upgrading of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol

Page/Page column 12; 13, (2018/10/11)
A method of making 1,5-pentanediol from tetrahydrofurfural alcohol. The method includes the steps of dehydrating tetrahydrofurfural alcohol (THFA) to dihydropyran (DHP); hydrating at least a portion of the DHP to 2-hydroxy-tetrahydropyran (2-HY-THP) in the presence of a solid acid catalyst; and hydrogenating at least a portion of the 2-HY-THP to 1,5-pentanediol. The method can be conducted entirely in the absence of noble metal catalysts.

The gas-phase elimination kinetics of tetrahydropyranyl phenoxy ethers: 2-phenoxytetrahydro-2H-pyran, 2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)tetrahydro-2H-pyran, and 2-(4-tert-butylphenoxy)tetrahydro-2H-pyran were determined in a static system, with the vessels deactivated with allyl bromide, and in the presence of the free radical inhibitor toluene. The working temperature and pressure were 330 to 390°C and 25 to 89?Torr, respectively. The reactions yielded DHP and the corresponding 4-substituted phenol. The eliminations are homogeneous, unimolecular, and satisfy a first-order rate law. The Arrhenius equations for decompositions were found as follows: 2-phenoxytetrahydro-2H-pyran log k1 (s?1)?=?(14.18?±?0.21)???(211.6?±?0.4)?kJ?mol?1 (2.303 RT)?1 2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)tetrahydro-2H-pyran log k1 (s?1)?=?(14.11?±?0.18)???(203.6?±?0.3)?kJ?mol?1 (2.303 RT)?1 2-(4-tert-butylphenoxy)tetrahydro-2H-pyran log k1 (s?1)?=?(14.08?±?0.08)???(205.9?±?1.0)?kJ?mol?1 (2.303 RT)?1. The analysis of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for thermal elimination of 2-(4-substituted-phenoxy)tetrahydro-2H-pyranes suggests that the reaction proceeds via 4-member cyclic transition state. The results obtained confirm a slight increase of rate constant with increasing electron donating ability groups in the phenoxy ring. The pyran hydrogen abstraction by the oxygen of the phenoxy group appears to be the determinant factor in the reaction rate.

Paragraph 0062; 0073, (2017/09/05)
A method of making 1,5-pentanediol from tetrahydrofurfural alcohol. The method includes the steps of dehydrating tetrahydrofurfural alcohol (THFA) to dihydropyran (DHP); hydrating at least a portion of the DHP to 2-hydroxy-tetrahydropyran (2-HY-THP) in the absence of homogeneous acid; and hydrogenating at least a portion of the 2-HY-THP to 1,5-pentanediol. The method can be conducted entirely in the absence of noble metal catalysts.
