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.

Robust acidic pseudo-ionic liquid catalyst with self-separation ability for esterification and acetalization

The novel acidic pseudo-ionic liquid catalyst with self-separation ability has been synthesized through the quaternization of triphenylphosphine and the acidification with silicotungstic acid. The pseudo-IL showed high activities for the esterification with average conversions over 90%. The pseudo-IL showed even higher activities for acetalization than traditional sulfuric acid. The homogeneous catalytic process benefited the mass transfer efficiency. The pseudo-IL separated from the reaction mixture automatically after reactions, which was superior to other IL catalysts. The high catalytic activities, easy reusability and high stability were the key properties of the novel catalyst, which hold great potential for green chemical processes.

preliminary aldehyde (C 2-C 10) propylene glycol acetal synthetic method (by machine translation)

The invention discloses a synthetic method of low-grade aldehyde (C2-C10) propylene glycol acetal. A target object is prepared from low-grade aldehyde (C2-C10), 1, 2-propylene glycol, anhydrous calcium chloride and p-toluenesulfonic acid which are reacted in the method. By adopting the method disclosed by the invention, the reaction is free from byproducts and pollution, the product purity and the product recovery rate are high, the cost is low, the efficiency is high and the fragrance is good. Through simple stirring reaction, the content of the acetal can reach condensation over 98%, and the method is applicable to mixing various high-grade essences and has a considerable effect of increasing the stability and temperature resistance of an essence finished-product.

Synthesis of a novel multi-SO3H functionalized ionic liquid and its catalytic activities

A novel multi-SO3H functionalized ionic liquid is synthesized and a detailed account of its cata- lytic activities in acetalization and acetylation is given. The results showed that the ionic liquid is very efficient in the conventional acid-catalyzed reactions with good to excellent yields within a short reaction time. Oper- ational simplicity, small amounts required, low cost of the catalyst, high yields, scalability and reusability are the key features of this methodology, which indicates the high potentialities of the novel ionic liquid to be used in environmentally friendly processes.

Acetals and Ethers. 11. Solubility of Alkyl-Substituted 1,3-Dioxolanes and 1,3-Dioxanes in Water

2-Alkyl-1,3-dioxolanes, 2-alkyl-4-methyl-1,3-dioxolanes, and 2-alkyl-1,3-dioxanes (alkyl: n-C3H7, ...,n-C6H13) were synthesized and their solubilities in E10-4 M aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution at 293.2 K determined.The standard free energies for transfer from aqueous solution to pure liquid phase, ΔGto, were calculated from the solubility data and the contributions of given fragments of molecules to the free energy estimated.The fve-membered 1,3-dioxolane and six-membered 1,3-dioxane rings given fragments of molecules to the free energy contribution ΔGto, related to the cyclic fragments of the molecules, are +2.84 +/- 0.20 and +2.26 +/- 0.36 kJ mol-1, respectively.Their hydrophilicity is, however, much weaker than hat of the hydroxy group in normal alcohols.The 1,3-dioxolane ring bearing a methyl group at the C-4 atom has a markedly weaker hydrophilic character.
