Ring opening of decalin and methylcyclohexane over bifunctional Ir/WO 3/Al2O3 catalysts

Ring-opening reactions of decalin and methylcyclohexane (MCH) over bifunctional catalysts (1.2Ir/WO3/Al2O3) were investigated. A series of catalysts containing up to 5.3 at. W/nm2 and 1.2 wt.% Ir was prepared. The acidity of the solids was monitored by low-temperature CO adsorption followed by infrared spectroscopy. Characterization of the Ir metal phase was performed by H2 chemisorption and X-ray diffraction. The activity and product selectivity patterns obtained for the decalin ring-opening reaction were compared with those observed for MCH. For both naphthenes, ring contraction precedes ring opening, suggesting a similar ring-opening mechanism. Kinetic modeling based on the proposed reaction network allowed the determination of the activation energies and initial rates. Based on the yields and products distribution obtained for the decalin reaction, the potential for improvement of the cetane number is discussed.

Catalytic activity of the VIII group metals in the hydrogenation and isomerization of α- And β-pinenes

The kinetic regularities of the liquid-phase hydrogenation and isomerization of α- and β-pinenes over the Pd/C, Ru/C, Rh/C, Pt/C, and Ir/C catalysts were studied at temperatures ranging from 20 to 100 °C and at hydrogen pressures of 1-11 bar using n-octane as the solvent. The hydrogenation and isomerization of α- and β-pinenes occur simultaneously on the Ru/C, Rh/C, Pt/C, and Ir/C catalysts, and the reaction mixture contains the products of double bond hydrogenation, viz., cis- and trans-pinanes. The Ru, Rh, and Pd metals have a higher catalytic activity in β-pinene isomerization than Ir and Pt. Among the VIII Group metals studied, the Pd-based catalyst has the highest catalytic activity in double bond isomerization of α- and β-pinenes. The general scheme of the mechanism of hydrogenation and isomerization of α- and β-pinenes on the Pd/C catalyst was proposed.

STUDIES OF COMPOUNDS IN THE MENTHANE SERIES. XIX. SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF TRANS-o-4-MENTHEN-8-OL AND STEREOISOMERIC o-5-METHEN-8-OLS

Trans-o-4-Menthen-8-ol and cis- and trans-o-5-menthen-8-ols have been prepared via the Diels-Alder reactions of 1,3-butadiene with crotonaldehyde in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate, and piperylene with methyl acrylate, respectively.The dehydration reactions of these alcohols have been studied in the presence of acetic anhydride and potassium bisulfate; the latter reagent demonstrates a high reaction selectivity.
