Usage

General Description

2-ethyl-2,4-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane, also known as ethylidene diacetate, is a chemical compound with a molecular formula of C6H12O2. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a sweet, fruity odor. This chemical is commonly used as a solvent and as an intermediate in the synthesis of organic compounds. It is also used in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and flavor and fragrance products. Additionally, it has applications in the production of polymers and as a solvent for cellulose derivatives. Ethylidene diacetate is considered to be relatively stable and non-reactive under normal conditions of use. However, it should be handled with care due to its potential for flammability and its ability to irritate the eyes, skin, and respiratory system.

Method for improving activity of propylene epoxide catalyst and co-producing ketal (acetal)

The invention provides a method for synthesizing propylene epoxide and co-producing ketal (acetal) by taking a by-product PG as a raw material in propylene epoxidation in the presence of heteropoly acid as a catalyst. Negative effects of alcohol substances to the activity of the catalyst in epoxidation reaction are eliminated, the activity of the catalyst is improved, the catalyst is used stably,meanwhile, downstream application of the by-product PG is expanded, and a preparation method for ketal (acetal) is provided. The method has the advantages of gentle reaction conditions, good catalyzing stability, good catalyst using effect, and resource utilization of the by-product.

Synthesis of novel solid acidic ionic liquid polymer and its catalytic activities

The novel solid acidic ionic liquid polymer has been synthesized through the copolymerization of acidic ionic liquid oligomers and resorcinol- formaldehyde (RF resin). The catalytic activities were investigated through the acetalization. The results showed that the PIL was very efficient for the reactions with the average yield over 99.0%. The procedure was quite simple with just one-step to complete both the reactions. The high hydrophobic BET surface, high catalytic activities and high stability gave the PIL great potential for green chemical processes. Pleiades Publishing, Ltd., 2013.

Synthesis of a novel ionic liquid with both Lewis and Br?nsted acid sites and its catalytic activities

The novel ionic liquid with both Lewis and Br?nsted acid sites has been synthesized and its catalytic activities for acetalization and Michael addition were investigated carefully. The novel ionic liquid was stable to water and could be used in aqueous solution. Furthermore, the molar ratio of the Lewis and Br?nsted acid sites could be adjusted according to different reactions. The results showed that the novel ionic liquid was very efficient for the traditional acid-catalyzed reactions with good to excellent yields in short time.
