CARBONATE SOLVENTS FOR NON-AQUEOUS ELECTROLYTES FOR METAL AND METAL-ION BATTERIES

There is provided a metal or metal-ion battery comprising an aluminum current collector and a low-corrosiveness non-aqueous electrolyte comprising, as a solvent, a carbonate compound of formula (I): (I). This battery has an upper voltage limit of about 4.2 V or more and anodic dissolution of aluminum during battery operation at said voltage is suppressed.

A method for obtaining and alkylene glycol dialkyl carbonate

The invention relates to a method for obtaining a dialkyl carbonate and an alkylene glycol from a material flow containing dialkyl carbonate, alkylene carbonate, alkylene glycol, and alcohol, said method having the following steps: (a) separating a material flow (5) containing dialkyl carbonate and alkylene glycol in the form of a heteroazeotrope from the material flow containing dialkyl carbonate, alkylene carbonate, alkylene glycol, and alcohol in a distillative manner in a first distillation stage (1), and (b) separating the material flow (5) containing dialkyl carbonate and alkylene glycol in the form of a heteroazeotrope into a first raw product flow (27) which substantially contains dialkyl carbonate and a second raw product flow (29) which substantially contains alkylene glycol in a device for the purpose of a phase separation (25).

Halogenated volatiles from the fungus Geniculosporium and the actinomycete Streptomyces chartreusis

Two unidentified chlorinated volatiles X and Y were detected in headspace extracts of the fungus Geniculosporium. Their mass spectra pointed to the structures of a chlorodimethoxybenzene for X and a dichlorodimethoxybenzene for Y. The mass spectra of some constitutional isomers for X and Y were included in our databases and proved to be very similar, thus preventing a full structural assignment. For unambiguous structure elucidation all possible constitutional isomers for X and Y were obtained by synthesis or from commercial suppliers. Comparison of mass spectra and GC retention times rigorously established the structures of the two chlorinated volatiles. Chlorinated volatiles are not very widespread, but brominated or even iodinated volatiles are even more rare. Surprisingly, headspace extracts from Streptomyces chartreusis contained methyl 2-iodobenzoate, a new natural product that adds to the small family of iodinated natural products.
