Infrared Multiple-Photon Decomposition of Cyclopentene
Shoemaker, James O.,Carr, Robert W.
, p. 605 - 612 (1984)
The infrared multiple-photon decomposition of cyclopentene yields cyclopentadiene as the major hydrocarbon product (>95percent).The other products are 1,4-pentadiene and cis- and trans-1,3-pentadiene, along with trace amounts of fragmentation products.The 1,3-pentadienes have not been previously reported in cyclopentene pyrolysis.Typical conversions obtained by focussing the laser beam into the sample ranged from less than 1percent to as much as 20percent per 1E3 pulses with estimated beam waist fluences of approximately 150 J/cm2, indicating that cyclopentene excitation is strongly bottlenecked.No products were detected with collimated beams of 1 J/cm-2 and after 1.7E4 pulses.Reaction product yields increase with increasing wavelength in the fundamental absorption band centered at 1048 cm-1.Excitation originating in the Q branch of this transition results in very small yields.Total C5 yields increase rapidly with increasing fluence at 1029 and 1033 cm-1.A simple model of dissociation in which the focused beam geometry is a circular hyperboloid of revolution predicts fluence-yield behavior that is consistent with experimental observations.Conversion of cyclopentene decreases with increasing cyclopentene pressure between 0.01 and about 0.5 torr, and thereafter increases rapidly with increasing pressure.On the other hand, addition of N2, up to about 200 torr, causes total C5 yields to decrease monotonically over the entire pressure range.A limited number of experiments were done with 1-methylcyclopentene.At the same wavelength (1019 cm-1), pressure, fluence, and weak field absorbance, dehydrogenation of 1-methylcyclopentene gives yields that are as much as 20 times greater than yields from cyclopentene.

Multiphoton infrared absorption from a focused, pulsed CO2 laser was used to initiate gas-phase thermal reactions of cis- and trans-3-penten-2-yl acetate. By varying the helium buffer gas pressure, it was possible to deduce the product distribution from the initial unimolecular reactions, separate from secondary reactions in a thermal cascade. Thus, trans-3-penten-2-yl acetate gives 54 ± 5% of β-elimination to give trans-1,3-pentadiene, 40 ± 3% of [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement to give cis-3-penten-2-yl acetate and 6 ± 4% of cis-1,3-pentadiene. Similar irradiation of cis-3-penten-2-yl acetate gives 45 ± 1% of β-elimination to give cis-1,3-pentadiene, 32 ± 2% of [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement to give trans-3-penten-2-yl acetate and 23 ± 2% of trans-1,3-pentadiene. The latter process is an eight-centered δ-elimination, which is argued to be a pseudopericyclic reaction. Although β-eliminations have been suggested to be pericyclic, B3LYP/ 6-31G(d,p), MP2 and MP4 calculations suggest that both β- and δ-eliminations, as well as [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements of esters are primarily pseudopericyclic in character, as judged by both geometrical, energetic and transition state aromaticity (NICS) criteria. Small distortions from the ideal pseudopericyclic geometries are argued to reflect small pericyclic contributions. It is further argued that when both pericyclic and pseudopericyclic orbital topologies are allowed and geometrically feasible, the calculated transition state may be the result of proportional mixing of the two states; this offers an explanation of the range of pseudopericyclic and pericyclic characters found in related reactions.

-
Paragraph 0056; 0122; 0123, (2021/03/13)
A catalyst for dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons includes a support including zirconium oxide and Linde type L zeolite (L-zeolite). A concentration of the zirconium oxide in the catalyst is in a range of from 0.1 weight percent (wt. %) to 20 wt. %. The catalyst includes from 5 wt. % to 15 wt. % of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal. The catalyst includes from 0.1 wt. % to 10 wt. % of tin. The catalyst includes from 0.1 wt. % to 8 wt. % of a platinum group metal. The alkali metal or alkaline earth metal, tin, and platinum group metal are disposed on the support.

We show that cyclic ethers, such 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MTHF), can undergo dehydration to produce pentadienes over SiO2/Al2O3. The catalyst exhibited reversible deactivation due to coke deposition, with the yield to pentadienes decreasing from 68% to 52% at 623 K over 58 h time on stream. A reaction network for 2-MTHF dehydration was proposed on the basis of the results of space time studies. Pentadienes can be produced directly by a concerted hydride shift and dehydration of carbenium intermediates or indirectly through dehydration of pentanal and pentenol. Reaction kinetics studies were performed at temperatures ranging from 573 to 653 K and 2-MTHF partial pressures from 0.21 to 2.51 kPa. The apparent activation energy barrier for 2-MTHF conversion to pentadienes and the reaction rate order for ring opening were determined to be 74 kJ mol-1 and 0.24, respectively, indicating strong interaction between 2-MTHF and the SiO2/Al2O3 surface. Other solid acids such as γ-Al2O3, H-ZSM-5, and Al-Sn-Beta were found to be active for 2-MTHF dehydration to pentadienes. The rate of ring opening decreased in the order 2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran > 2-MTHF > tetrahydropyran > tetrahydrofuran. Over SiO2/Al2O3, the dehydration of 2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran resulted in 75% yield to hexadiene isomers. (Figure Presented).

Conjugated dienes are desirable reagents for several important applications. We report that sterically uncrowded PCP-pincer iridium complexes, including precursors of (iPr4PCP)Ir and (Me2tBu2PCP)Ir, catalyze the transfer d
CATALYTIC DEHYDRATION OF ALCOHOLS AND ETHERS OVER A TERNARY MIXED OXIDE
-
Paragraph 0029; 0046, (2013/03/28)
A ternary V—Ti—P mixed oxide is shown to catalytically dehydrate 2-methyl-tetrahydrofuran in high conversion to give piperylene, in good yield. Volatile products collected from this reaction contain piperylene in concentrations as high as 80 percent by weight. Dehydration of glycerol to acrolein in high conversion and moderate selectivity is also demonstrated. The catalyst is also shown to dehydrate other alcohols and ether substrates. The catalyst is resistant to deactivation and maintains activity between runs.
Propylene and isoprene production
-
Page/Page column 3-4, (2009/03/07)
A process for producing propylene and isoprene from a feed stream comprising 1-butene and isobutene is disclosed. The feed stream is reacted in a catalytic distillation reactor containing an olefin isomerization catalyst to produce an overhead stream comprising 2-butene and isobutene and a bottoms stream comprising 2-butene. The overhead stream is reacted in the presence of a metathesis catalyst to produce propylene and isoamylenes. Isoprene is produced by dehydrogenation of isoamylenes.

Page/Page column 5-6, (2008/06/13)
The invention concerns a process for producing propylene from a steam cracking and/or catalytic cracking light olefinic cut, said process comprising a moving bed catalytic cracking step with a catalyst regeneration loop. The process recycles a portion of the used catalyst to the inlet of the moving bed reactor. The conversion is high using the process of the invention, with a good yield and good propylene selectivity.
Gas-phase kinetic and mechanistic studies of some interconverting alkylcyclopropene pairs: Involvement of dialkylvinylidene intermediates and their quantitative behaviour
Graf Von Der Schulenburg, Wilhelm,Hopf, Henning,Walsh, Robin
, p. 1963 - 1979 (2007/10/03)
The pyrolyses of two isomeric pairs of alkylcyclopropenes, namely 1,3-dimethyl- (15) and 1-ethyl-cyclopropene (16), and 1,3,3-trimethyl- (5) and 1-isopropyl-cyclopropene (17), have been studied in the gas phase. Complete product analyses at various conversions up to 95% were obtained for the decomposition of each compound at five temperatures over a 40°C range. The time-evolution data showed that the isomerisation reactions 15?16 and 5?17 were occurring. Kinetic modelling of each system allowed the determination of rate constants for these and all other decomposition processes. Tests confirmed that all reactions were unimolecular and homogeneous. Arrhenius parameters are reported for overall reactions and individual product pathways. Further kinetic analysis allowed us to extract the propensities (at 500 K) for 1,3-C-H insertion of the dialkylvinylidene intermediates involved in the rearrangements as follows: kprim:ksec: ktert = 1:16.5:46.4. Additional experiments with 13C-labelled cyclopropenes yielded alkyl group migration aptitudes for the dialkylvinylidenes (from the pattern of 13C in the alkyne products) as follows: Me:Et:iPr=1:3.1:1.5. Explanations for these trends are given. Another important finding is that of the dramatic rate enhancements for 1,3-diene product formation from the 1-alkylcyclopropenes; this can be explained by either hyperconjugative stabilisation of the vinylcarbene intermediates involved in this pathway, or their differing propensities to 1,2 H-shift. The observed large variations in product distribution amongst these four cyclopropenes is interpreted in terms of these specific effects on individual pathways.
(E)- And (Z)-1-(Phenylsulfonyl)-4-(trimethylsilyl)-2-butenes: Synthetic Equivalents for the 1-(1,3-Butadienyl) Anion and the 1,1-(1,3-Butadienyl) Dianion

(E)- and (Z)-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-4-(trimethylsilyl)-2-butenes (7 and 8) are converted by n-BuLi to (E)- and (Z)-1-lithio-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-4-(trimethylsilyl)-2-butenes (15 and 16) with retention of initial stereochemistries. Reactions of 15 and 16 with electrophiles (protio and deuterio acids, primary, secondary, and benzyl halides, chloroformates, chlorothioformates, acid chlorides, epoxides, trialkylsilyl chlorides, and triethylgermanyl chloride) in THF or THF/HMPA give the corresponding (E)- and (Z)-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1-substituted-4-(trimethylsilyl)-2-butenes (32) with stereochemical retention. That β,γ-unsaturated silyl sulfones 32 are formed instead of their α,β-unsaturated (conjugated) isomers are attributed to stabilizing multiple anionic and cationic hyperconjugation and to steric effects as in 29-31. Of importance in synthesis is that 32 are eliminated by TBAF at -20 to 0°C, thermally, or by column chromatography to (E)- (100 to > 93%) rather than (Z)-1-substituted-1,3-butadienes (38). Further, 32 undergo conversions by n-BuLi and various alkylating agents to (unconjugated) 1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1,1-disubstituted-4-(trimethylsilyl)-2-butenes (46) with retention of stereochemistry. Eliminations of 46 by fluoride ion, acid catalysis, or heat yield 1,1-disubstituted-1,3-butadienes (53). Silyl sulfones 7 and 8 are thus synthetic equivalents for the (E)-1-(1,3-butadienyl) anion (44) and the 1,1-(1,3-butadienyl) dianion (57). Silyl sulfones 7 and 8 also undergo efficient stereospecific intramolecular conversions by n-BuLi and α,ω-dihalides to 1,1-cycloalka-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-4-(trimethysilyl)-2-butenes (62 and 71) that are eliminated by fluoride ion, heat, or adsorption chromatography to 1,1-cycloalka-1,3-butadienes (72).
