Page/Page column 19, (2013/02/28)
A method for converting an alcohol to a hydrocarbon, the method comprising contacting said alcohol with a metal-loaded zeolite catalyst at a temperature of at least 100°C and up to 550°C, wherein said alcohol can be produced by a fermentation process, said metal is a positively-charged metal ion, and said metal-loaded zeolite catalyst is catalytically active for converting said alcohol to said hydrocarbon.

The kinetic parameters of β-fission of radicals containing the cyclobutylcarbinyl system have been determined by analysis of the mixtures obtained when suitable chloro-compounds are treated with tributylstannane.Under these conditions ring opening is irreversible and in the rigid bicyclic system (4) is under stereoelectronic control.For ring opening of cyclobutylcarbinyl radical (8) kf = 4.3 x 103 s-1 at 60 deg C, and the best values of the activation parameters appear to be ΔH(excit.) = 12.2 kcal mol-1 and ΔS(excit.) = -7.4 cal mol-1 K-1.Monocyclic systems undergo preferential fission of the more substituted βγ-bond.Methyl substituents at the α-, β-, or δ-positions have little effect but γ-substitution strongly enhances the rate of ring opening.The transition state is reactant-like and has a similar disposition of centres to that (1) for homolytic addition.
