Chain carbonylation of methoxymethyl chloride by using AgSbF6 catalyst under high pressure of CO

The chain carbonylation of methoxymethyl chloride (1) by the use of AgSbF6 catalyst smoothly proceeded under high pressure of carbon monoxide to give methyl methoxyacetate after treatment with methanol. The reaction was highly dependent on the CO pressure and the reaction temperature, indicating the presence of equilibrium processes. From the temperature dependence of the equilibrium constant, the enthalpy change of the reaction was calculated to be -25.4 kJ mol-1.

Monodisperse microbeads of hypercrosslinked polystyrene for liquid and supercritical fluid chromatography

Monodisperse styrene-divinylbenzene (1 wt %) copolymer microbeads are obtained via the elaborate method of high-productivity precipitation polymerization. The crosslinking of this copolymer with chloromethyl methyl ether in the presence of Friedel-Crafts catalyst yields porous hypercrosslinked polymers with degrees of crosslinking that range from 200 to 500%. Microbead sorbents are shown to be suited for selective stationary phases for high-performance liquid chromatography and supercritical fluid chromatography.

Kinetic studies of the oxidation of dimethyl ether and its chain reaction with Cl2

The reaction between dimethyl ether radicals and molecular oxygen proceeds along two distinct pathways at temperatures between 230 and 350 K. Above about 100 Torr total pressure the peroxy radical, CH3OCH2O2, is predominantly formed. As the pressure is reduced, a channel leading to the formation of OH and two formaldehyde molecules becomes progressively more important. Real time kinetic measurements of these reactions are made using time-resolved UV spectroscopy to monitor CH3OCH2 loss and CH3OCH2O2 formation along with transient IR absorption to probe formaldehyde production. The OH radicals are identified via their UV spectrum. The reaction can be described via a modified Lindemann mechanism using the three parameters kro2,∞, kro2,0, and kprod,0, which represent the high- and low-pressure limits of the O2 addition reaction and the low-pressure limit of the OH/formaldehyde channel. At 295 K they have values of (1.1 ± 0.1) × 10-11 cm3 s-1, (2.6 ± 0.9) × 10-29 cm6 s-1, and (6 ± 2) × 10-12 cm3 s-1, respectively. At Ptot = ～120 Torr the reaction exhibits a negative temperature dependence with kr+o2 = (3.1+1.0-0.8) × 10-12 e(326±80)/T cm3 s-1. Experiments in the absence of oxygen were performed to investigate the CH3OCH2-mediated chain reaction between chlorine and dimethyl ether. Analysis of time-resolved UV spectra reveals rate constants of kr+c12 = (1.8+0.7-0.5) × 10-11 e(360±120)/T cm3 s-1 and kr+r = (1.8+0.6-0.5) × 10-11 e(200±100)/T cm3 s-1, respectively, for the chain propagation reaction between CH3OCH2 and molecular chlorine and for the chain-terminating recombination reaction.
