The kinetics of degradation of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) by ultrasonic irradiation in the presence of ozone as functions of applied frequencies and applied power are investigated. Experiments are performed over the frequency range of 205-1078 kHz. The higher overall reaction rates are observed at 358 and 618 kHz and then at 205 and 1078 kHz. The observed pseudo-first-order rate constant, k(O), for MTBE degradation increases with increasing power density up to 250 W L-1. A linear dependence of the first- order rate constant, k(O3), for the simultaneous degradation of O3 on power density is also observed. Naturally occurring organic matter (NOM) is shown to have a negligible effect on observed reaction rates.

PROCESS FOR MAKING FORMIC ACID UTILIZING LOWER-BOILING FORMATE ESTERS

Paragraph 00177; 00178, (2019/02/15)
Disclosed is a process for recovering formic acid from a formate ester of a C3 to C4 alcohol. Disclosed is also a process for producing formic acid by carbonylating a C3 to C4 alcohol, hydrolyzing the formate ester of the alcohol, and recovering a formic acid product. The alcohol may be dried and returned to the reactor. The process enables a more energy efficient production of formic acid than the carbonylation of methanol to produce methyl formate.
Purified mCPBA, a Useful Reagent for the Oxidation of Aldehydes

Purified mCPBA is a useful reagent for the oxidation of several classes of aldehyde. Although linear unbranched aliphatic aldehydes are oxidized to the corresponding carboxylic acids, α-branched ones undergo Baeyer–Villiger oxidation to formates. α-Branched α,β-unsaturated aldehydes provide enolformates and/or epoxides, which can be saponified to α-hydroxy ketones with shortening of the carbon chain by 1 carbon. Unbranched α,β-unsaturated aldehydes undergo an interesting Baeyer–Villiger oxidation/epoxidation/formate migration/BV oxidation cascade, which results in formyl-protected hydrates with an overall loss of two carbon atoms.

A methodology to build (E)-β-alkoxy- and (E)-β-aryloxyacrylate moieties from acetate and formate esters promoted by the TiCl4/Et3N system is presented. The reaction is compatible with a broad range of structural skeletons and elapses through an unusual condensation pathway. Taking into account the obtained results, we propose a plausible mechanism involving a bimetallic titanium intermediate for this type of transformation.
