Silylium ion/phosphane lewis pairs

The reactivity of a series of silylium ion/phosphane Lewis pairs was studied. Triarylsilylium borates 4[B(C6F5)4] form frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) of moderate stability with sterically hindered phosphanes 2. Some of these FLPs are able to cleave dihydrogen under ambient conditions. The combination of bulky trialkylphosphanes with triarylsilylium ions can be used to sequester CO2 in the form of silylacylphosphonium ions 12. The ability to activate molecular hydrogen by reaction of silylium ion/phosphane Lewis pairs is dominated by thermodynamic and steric factors. For a given silylium ion increasing proton affinity and increasing steric hindrance of the phosphane proved to be beneficial. Nevertheless, excessive steric hindrance leads to a breakdown of the dihydrogen-splitting activity of a silylium/phosphane Lewis pair.

Liquid phase alkylation of benzene with dec-1-ene catalyzed on supported 12-tungstophosphoric acid

The liquid phase alkylation of benzene with dec-1-ene was catalyzed by 12-tungstophosphoric acid (WP) supported on different solids (ZrO2, SiO2, activated carbon and boehmite-Al2O3). Catalysts prepared with 20 w

Catalytic Systems Based on Aluminum Chloride in Alkylation of Benzene with Olefins

Two types of catalytic systems based on aluminum chloride and transition metal halides are prepared: mixed systems AlCl3-MeX (MeX is nickel, cobalt, copper, iron, tin, zinc, manganese, magnesium, potassium, or sodium chloride) and supported systems AlCl3/SiO2 and AlCl2·MeX/SiO2 (MeX is cobalt, nickel, or manganese chloride). Optimal conditions are found for preparation of catalytic systems based on aluminum chloride. These systems are studied in alkylation of benzene with olefins: ethene, propene, α-decene, and commercial C10-C14 fraction. Additives of nickel and cobalt chlorides increase the yield of ethyl- and propylbenzenes, simultaneously decreasing the yield of polyalkylbenzenes. Supported catalysts containing CoCl2, NiCl2, and FeCl3 additives increase the yield of monoalkylbenzenes in alkylation of benzene with higher olefins; additives of tin, zinc, and magnesium chlorides decrease the yield of monoalkylbenzenes; copper chloride is an inert additive. The yield of monoalkylbenzenes in alkylation of benzene with higher α-olefins in the presence of supported catalysts is 8-10% higher than in the presence of straight AlCl3. Preparation of supported catalytic systems requires 4-5 times smaller amount of aluminum chloride than preparation of binary systems.
