Highly effective formation of cyclopentanol through the liquid-phase hydration of cyclopentene has been attempted on various zeolites catalysts. MCM-22 zeolite was the most selective catalyst, which actively converted cyclopentene to cyclopentanol with a selectivity up to 99%. The effects on the hydration of catalyst preparation method, reaction atmosphere and temperature have been investigated for the MCM-22 catalysts. On the basis of the effect of reaction atmosphere, the mechanism of liquid-phase cyclopentene hydration was proposed. The thermodynamic equilibrium between cyclopentene and cyclopentanol was suggested to control greatly the cyclopentene conversion. The cyclopentene conversion was increased to 10% by increasing the water/cyclopentene ratio. Poisoning using organic amines with different molecular sizes revealed that the hydration occurred mainly in the 10-membered ring channels of MWW structure, which had an elliptic aperture smaller than that of MFI structure, exhibiting a significant shape selectivity by suppressing the etherification cyclopentanol.
Cathodic behaviour of 1-cycloalken-1-yl phenyl sulfones. I. Competition among dimerization, cleavage, isomerization and oligomerization processes in aprotic media

1-Cycloalken-1-yl phenyl sulfones 1a and 1b have been studied electrochemically in aprotic media (N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, or acetonitrile containing tetraalkylammonium salts) at a mercury electrode. Their behaviour has been compared with that of 2-norbornen-2-yl phenyl sulfone 1c. The expected cleavage reaction is accompanied by a concomitant isomerization process into allyl sulfones that is triggered by electrogenerated bases. A quantitative determination of the product distribution during controlled-potential electrolyses suggests the formation of dimers and oligomeric species, arising through a Michael addition of the sulfone anions to the activated double bond of these sulfones.
