DIARYL AMINE ANTIOXIDANTS PREPARED FROM BRANCHED OLEFINS

Diaryl amines are selectively alkylated by reaction with branched olefins, which olefins are capable of forming tertiary carbonium ions and can be conveniently prepared from readily available branched alcohols. The diaryl amine products are effective antioxidants and often comprise a high amount of di-alkylated diaryl amines and a low amount of tri- and tetra-alkylated diaryl amines.

Conversion of biomass-derived butanal into gasoline-range branched hydrocarbon over Pd-supported catalysts

For production of gasoline-range branched hydrocarbon from butanal, Pd catalysts supported on different metal oxides were applied. Among the prepared catalysts, Pd/ZrO2 showed the complete butanal conversion with the formation of C7-to-C9 branched hydrocarbon (75% yield). Additionally, the ratios of O/C and straight-chain to branched hydrocarbon (n-C/br-C) were found to be 0.005 and 0.17, respectively. This indicates that an adequate combination of Pd dispersion and amphoteric ZrO2 character promoted hydrodeoxygenation, C-C coupling and isomerization reactions. Consequently, both Pd dispersion and acid-base properties of supports are suggested to play a pivotal role in producing gasoline-range hydrocarbon at a high yield.

Polylithiumorganic compounds. Part 28. The reaction of allene and alkyl substituted allenes with lithium metal

The reaction of allene (3a) and alkyl substituted allenes 1,2-hexadiene (3b), cyclopropylallene (3c), and vinylidene cyclopropane (3d) with lithium metal was investigated in order to access 2,3-dilithioalkenes 4a-d. These dilithioalkenes 4a-d are very reactive in polar solvents like THF and act as strong bases, either metalation of the starting allene 3a-d, the solvent, or sufficiently acidic intermediates like 8 a-d is observed. The metalation products 5-7 show follow-up reactions like 1,3-H shift to the corresponding 1-lithio-1-alkynes 8 and subsequent metalation to the dilithioalkynes 9. Additionally, lithium hydride elimination and ring-chain rearrangement (for 5c) are observed. 1,2-Hexadiene (3b) can be brought to reaction with lithium metal in the apolar solvent pentane, here the follow-up reactions are much slower due to the insolubility of 4b. In all cases the elucidation of the reaction pathways is hampered by the formation of complex mixtures of, amongst others, regio- and stereoisomeric products upon quenching with simple electrophiles.
