For high caloricity and stability in bio-aviation fuels, a certain content of aromatic hydrocarbons (AHCs, 8-25 wt%) is crucial. Fatty acids, obtained from waste or inedible oils, are a renewable and economic feedstock for AHC production. Considerable amounts of AHCs, up to 64.61 wt%, were produced through the one-step hydroprocessing of fatty acids over Ni/HZSM-5 catalysts. Hydrogenation, hydrocracking, and aromatization constituted the principal AHC formation processes. At a lower temperature, fatty acids were first hydrosaturated and then hydrodeoxygenated at metal sites to form long-chain hydrocarbons. Alternatively, the unsaturated fatty acids could be directly deoxygenated at acid sites without first being saturated. The long-chain hydrocarbons were cracked into gases such as ethane, propane, and C6-C8 olefins over the catalysts' Br?nsted acid sites; these underwent Diels-Alder reactions on the catalysts' Lewis acid sites to form AHCs. C6-C8 olefins were determined as critical intermediates for AHC formation. As the Ni content in the catalyst increased, the Br?nsted-acid site density was reduced due to coverage by the metal nanoparticles. Good performance was achieved with a loading of 10 wt% Ni, where the Ni nanoparticles exhibited a polyhedral morphology which exposed more active sites for aromatization.
PALLADIUM-CATALYZED CROSS COUPLING OF ALLYL HALIDES WITH ORGANOTIN REAGENTS: A METHOD OF JOINING HIGHLY FUNCTIONALIZED PARTNERS REGIOSELECTIVELY AND STEREOSPECIFICALLY.

The palladium-catalyzed reaction of allyl halides with aryl- and vinyltin reagents gives high yields of cross-coupled products. In the presence of 1-3 atm of carbon monoxide, ketones are obtained, resulting from cross coupling accompanied by carbon monoxide insertion. The reaction is mild and tolerant of a wide variety of functionalities (OH, OR, CN, CO//2R, CHO) on either the allyl chloride or the tin reagent. Coupling at the allyl halide partner proceeds with inversion of configuration at the carbon bearing the halide, with retention of geometry at the allylic double bond, and with a regioselectivity for the least-substituted carbon in the allylic framework. Retention of double-bond geometry is observed in the vinyltin partner.

The gas-phase photodecarbonylation and photofragmentation reactions of substituted bicyclohexan-3-ones have been studied in detail.Photolysis of these ketones yields 1,3-dienes, vinylcyclopropanes, and 1,4-dienes as detectable products.The possible mechanisms for these reactions are discussed in light of the regiochemical and stereochemical results obtained.In addition, methyl substitution at C-6 and C-2 of these ketones has been shown to have a pronounced effect on both product ratios and overall reaction efficiency.These effects are discussed in terms of stereoelectronic and electronic controls of rates of cyclopropane ring opening of intermediate acylcyclopropylcarbinyl diradicals.
