The attainment of the efficient ignition of traditional liquid hydrocarbons of scramjet combustors at low flight Mach numbers is a challenging task. In this study, a novel chemical strategy to improve the reliable ignition and efficient combustion of hydrocarbon fuels was proposed. A directional hydroboration reaction was used to convert hydrocarbon fuel into highly active alkylborane, thereby leading to changes in the combustion reaction pathway of hydrocarbon fuel. A directional reaction to achieve the hypergolic ignition of 1-octene was designed and developed by using Gaussian simulation. Borane dimethyl sulfide (BDMS), a high-energy additive, was allowed to react spontaneously with 1-octene to achieve the hypergolic ignition of liquid hydrocarbon fuel at -15 °C. Compared with the ignition delay time of pure 1-octene (565 °C), the ignition delay time of 1-octene/BDMS (9:1.2) decreased by 3850% at 50 °C. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry confirmed the directional reaction of the hypergolic ignition reaction pathway of 1-octene and BDMS. Moreover, optical measurements showed the development trend of hydroxyl radicals (OH·) in the lower temperature hypergolic ignition and combustion of 1-octene. Finally, this study indicates that the enhancement of the low-temperature ignition performance of 1-octene by hydroboration in the presence of BDMS is feasible and promising for jet propellant design with tremendous future applications.

Our previous work established a continuous-flow synthesis of pristane, which is a saturated branched alkane obtained from a Basking Shark. The dehydration of an allylic alcohol that is the key to a tetraene was carried out using a packed-bed reactor charged by an acid–silica catalyst (HO-SAS) and flow hydrogenation using molecular hydrogen via a Pd/C catalyst followed. The present work relies on the additional propensity of Pd/C to serve as an acid catalyst, which allows us to perform a flow synthesis of pristane from the aforementioned key allylic alcohol in the presence of molecular hydrogen using Pd/C as a single catalyst, which is applied to both dehydration and hydrogenation. The present one-column-two-reaction-flow system could eliminate the use of an acid catalyst such as HO-SAS and lead to a significant simplification of the production process.

An improved method for the decarbonylation of aliphatic aldehydes by using a commercially available Pd/C catalyst is described. The reaction conditions are suitable for linear, cyclic, or sterically demanding substrates, as they afford the corresponding alkanes in yields of up to 99%. In addition, this Pd/C-catalyzed method exhibits good functional-group tolerance. A comparison of previously reported methods with the present one showed that the reaction conditions play a crucial role in the outcome of the reaction. The method can also be applied in a two-step reaction sequence for the synthesis of industrially important compounds.
