Chromium-Catalyzed Production of Diols From Olefins

Processes for converting an olefin reactant into a diol compound are disclosed, and these processes include the steps of contacting the olefin reactant and a supported chromium catalyst comprising chromium in a hexavalent oxidation state to reduce at least a portion of the supported chromium catalyst to form a reduced chromium catalyst, and hydrolyzing the reduced chromium catalyst to form a reaction product comprising the diol compound. While being contacted, the olefin reactant and the supported chromium catalyst can be irradiated with a light beam at a wavelength in the UV-visible spectrum. Optionally, these processes can further comprise a step of calcining at least a portion of the reduced chromium catalyst to regenerate the supported chromium catalyst.

Expedient Synthesis of 1,5-Diketones by Rhodium-Catalyzed Hydroacylation Enabled by C-C Bond Cleavage

A rhodium-catalyzed intermolecular hydroacylation reaction of vinyl cyclobutanols with non-chelating aldehydes has been developed. This reaction offers a new and atom-economical approach for the selective preparation of 1,5-diketones in high yields. Experimental data suggest a sequential ring-opening, transfer hydrogenation, and hydroacylation mechanism. We propose that aldehyde decarbonylation is avoided by the formation of a novel rhodium enolate species that also accounts for the compatibility of a broad range of aldehydes and its anti-Markovnikov selectivity.

4-hydroxy-3-hexanone catalytic dehydration method

The invention relates to a 4-hydroxyl-3-hexanone catalytic dehydration method and mainly aims to solve the problems of a catalyst in the prior art, such as low activity, high reaction temperature and low space velocity. According to the technical scheme, 4-hydroxyl-3-hexanone serving as a raw material comes into contact with a catalyst to generate 4-hexylene-3-hexanone under the conditions that the reaction temperature ranges from 200 DEG C to 400 DEG C and the liquid mass space velocity relative to the 4-hydroxyl-3-hexanone is equal to 0.5-15h, wherein the used catalyst has the crystal grain diameter being at most 5mm, and has ZSM-5 zeolite with mesopores and micropores, and the ratio of the volume of the mesopores to the volume of the micropores in the ZSM-5 zeolite is equal to 1.5-10. The problems in the prior art can be well solved by adoption of the technical scheme. The 4-hydroxyl-3-hexanone catalytic dehydration method can be used for industrial production of 4-hexylene-3-hexanone prepared by using the 4-hydroxyl-3-hexanone.
