Paragraph 0080-0088, (2018/11/21)
Embodiments herein relate to apparatus and systems for phenolic and ketone synthesis and methods regarding the same. In an embodiment, a method of producing phenolics and ketones is included. The method can specifically include forming a reaction mixture comprising nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) and water. The method can also include contacting the reaction mixture with a metal oxide catalyst at a temperature of 350 degrees Celsius or higher and a pressure of at least about 3200 psi to form a reaction product mixture. The reaction product mixture can include at least about 20 wt. % phenolics and at least about 10 wt. % ketones as a percentage of the total mass of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC). Other embodiments are also included herein.

Oxidative addition reactions of allylic halides, acetates, and carbonates with [Ru(η5-C5Me5)(η-amidinate)] [amidinate: iPrNC(Me)=NiPr (1a), 1BuNC(Ph)=N1Bu (1b)], which shows signs of coordinative unsaturation, gave novel cationic π-allyl ruthenium(IV) species. The compounds [Ru(η3-allyl)(η5-C5Mes)(η 2-amidinate)]+X- were isolated by anion exchange of the products (X = PF6, BF4, BPh4), and were characterized by spectroscopic analysis. The crystallography of two of the [Ru(η3-allyl)(η5-C5Mes)(η 2-amidinate)] +X- revealed a four-legged piano stool structure in which two nitrogen atoms in the amidinate ligand and two carbon atoms in the η3-allyl ligands occupy the positions of four legs; the orientation of the η3-allyl ligand was endo. Although cyclic voltammograms of the precursor, [Ru(η5-C5Me5)(η-amidinate)], indicated possible oxidative addition of organic halides other than allylic halides to [Ru(η5-C5Me5)(η-amidinate)], only allylic halides gave the corresponding Ru(IV) products. The importance of prior coordination of the carbon-carbon double bond of allylic substrates was evidenced by NMR observation of the intermediate in the reaction of 1a or 1b with allyl acetate. Addition of nucleophiles such as PhLi, dimethyl methylsodiomalonate, and piperidine to the [Ru(η3-allyl)(η5-C5Me 5)(η2-amidinate)]+X- gave rise to allylation of these nucleophiles and regeneration of [Ru(η5-C5Me5)(η-amidinate)]. The reactions of allyl methyl carbonate with nucleophiles were also achieved by catalysis of either [Ru(η5C5Me5)(η-amidinate)] or [Ru(η3-allyl)(η5-C5Me 5)(η2-amidinate)]+X-.

A dual-zone, continuous feed tubular reactor is developed to assess the potential for formation of products from incomplete combustion in thermal oxidation of common polymers. Solid polymer (cellulose or polystyrene) is fed continuously into a volatilization oven where it fragments and vaporizes. The gas-phase polymer fragments flow directly into a second, main flow reactor to undergo further reaction. Temperatures in the main flow reactor are varied independently to observe conditions needed to convert the initial polymer fragments to CO2 and H2O. Combustion products are monitored at main reactor temperatures from 400 to 850 °C and at 2.0-s total residence time with four on-line GC/FIDs; polymer reaction products and intermediates are further identified by GC/MS analysis. Analysis of polymer decomposition fragments at 400 °C encompasses complex oxygenated and aromatic hydrocarbon species, which range from high-molecular-weight intermediates of ca. 300 amu, through intermediate mass ranges down to C1 and C2 hydrocarbons, CO, and CO2. Approximately 41 of these species are positively identified for cellulose and 52 for polystyrene. Products from thermal oxidation of cellulose and polystyrene are shown to achieve complete combustion to CO2 and H2O at a main reactor temperature of 850 °C under fuel-lean equivalence ratio and 2.0-s reaction time.
