Vapor phase beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime over rare earth pyrophosphates

A new application of rare earth pyrophosphates in vapor phase Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime was investigated. The rare earth phosphates were characterized by means of XRD, FT-IR, NH3-TPD and water contact angle measurement. It was found that the weak surface acidity and appropriate surface hydrophobicity should be two key factors in the excellent performance of these catalysts.

Based on the experimental results, the mechanism of the oxidation of cyclohexene catalyzed by Pd(OAc)(2)/HQ/FePc was elucidated.

ARYLIDENE COPOLYETHER SULFONES .2. SYNTHESIS END CHARACTERIZATION OF SOME NEW COPOLYETHER SULFONES CONTAINING DIBENZYLIDENE CYCLOHEXANONE MOIETIES

New copolyether sulfones containing 2,6-bis(p-oxo-benzylidene)cyclohexanone and 2,6-bis(o,p-dioxo-benzylidene)cyclohexanone moieties were prepared in the conventional literature manner by condensing the dipotassium salts of 2,6-bis(p-hydroxybenzylidene)cyclohexanone (III), 2,6-bis(o,p-dihydroxybenzylidene)-cyclohexanone (V), and 2,2-bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)propane (Bisphenol A, VII) with 4,4'-dichlorodiphenyl sulfone (VI), or by condensing the dipotassium salts of III and VII with a new benzylidene cyclohexanone sulfone macromer (X). Finally, the polycondensation reaction of sulfonyl bis(p-benzaldehydeoxo-p-phenylene) (IX) with cyclohexanone leads to an unsaturated copolymer (XVI). The resulting copolyether sulfones were confirmed by IR, H-1-NMR, viscometry, elemental analysis, thermooptical (TOA), x-ray, and thermogravimetric (TGA) measurements.

Catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone over Co3O4 nanocrystals with molecular oxygen

Co3O4 nanocrystals with average particle sizes of 30 and 50 run were synthesized using cobalt nitrate as precursor, and were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane with molecular oxygen was studied over Co3O4 nanocrystals. These catalysts showed obviously higher activities as compared to Co3O4 prepared by the conventional methods, Co3O4/Al2O3, or homogeneous cobalt catalyst under comparable reaction conditions. The 89.1% selectivity to cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone at 7.6% conversion of cyclohexane was realized over 50 nm sized Co3O4 nanocrystals at 393 K for 6 h. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.

生物催化的Baeyer-Villiger氧化反应研究

Baeyer-Villiger氧化反应是一种很重要的化学反应，产生的许多中间体或产物可以被用来生产多种化学产品和药物。此反应具有多功能性，可以氧化多种羰基化合物，但是化学方法中的必需反应物——氧化剂在生产、储存、运输、反应的过程中都存在很多的不安全因素，反应的立体选择性也不强，而生物转化则具有底物选择性、立构选择性、化学选择性、对映选择性等一般化学反应中不具备的优点，在精细化工中占有很大的优势。在工业生物催化中有很好的应用前景。 为了研究生物催化的Baeyer-Villiger反应，我们从本实验室保藏菌种中分离筛选出一株能够以环己酮作为唯一碳源的菌株，进行初步研究并对其产物进行GC/MS定性，探讨了pH，装液量，底物浓度，培养时间，温度以及转速等条件对细菌生长的影响，并进一步研究了细菌的底物广谱性。 此菌株经鉴定属于邻单胞菌属Plesiomonas sp.)， 根据正交试验，确定了菌的最佳生长条件：底物浓度为1mL/L，底物浓度过高对菌株生长有抑制作用，转速为150 rpm ，温度为30℃ ，pH为7.0； 此菌株转化环己酮的产物通过GC/MS检测含有内酯，表明此菌株能够催化Baeyer-Villiger氧化反应；此菌株还能够以与环己酮有相似结构的环己烷，环戊酮等作为唯一碳源生长，说明此菌株底物利用范围比较广，用途比较广泛。 Baeyer-Villiger oxidation is an important chemical conversion, its products and intermediates can be used to produce a lot of medicine and fine chemicals. Its success is largely due to its versatility: a variety of carbonyl compounds can be oxidized, a large number of functional groups are tolerated, the regiochemistry is highly predictable and so on, but the oxidants that the traditional chemistry way needs have a number of problem in their production, storage, transportation and reaction, Chemistry way has not a high stereochemistry yet. However, biotransformations have many attractive characters, such as substrate-, stereo-, chemo- and enantioselectivity, so it has a great advantage in the fine chemical industry and has a bright prospect in the industrial biological catalysis. In order to study Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, we isolated a strain which can utilize cyclohexanone as sole carbon source and had a primary research on it. Its product was identified by GC/MS. Effects of pH, volume, concentration of cyclohexanone, cultivating time, temperature and rotate speed on the growth of bacteria were discussed, and the other organic substrates were also studied. The strain was identified as Plesiomonas sp.. The result of orthogonal test made it sure that the best growth condition of the strain is: rotate speed 150 rpm, temperature 30℃, pH7.0, concentration of cyclohexanone1ml/L. There is caprolactone in the product of the fermentation with cyclohexanone as substrate by GC/MS,which indicated that the strain can catalyse Baeyer-Villiger oxidation.In addition,the strain can utilize other organic substrates having the similar structure with cyclohexanone such as cyclohexane, cyclopentanone, Swertiamarin as sole carbon source.So the strain can be applied extentively.

Characterization of metal-containing molecular sieves and their catalytic properties in the selective oxidation of cyclohexane

Three types of metal-containing molecular sieves with AFI, AEL and CHA structures (Me = Co, Mn, Cr and V) were synthesized hydrothermally and characterized by XRD, XRF, TG, TPR, NH3-TPD and FT-IR. It was revealed that metals were incorporated into the framework of molecular sieves and induced the presence of charge centers. Both cobalt and manganese in the framework of AIPO-5, AlPO-11 and SAPO-34 were not reducible before the structure collapse. The redox behaviours of these catalysts in cyclohexane oxidation at 403 K using O-2 as oxidant were examined. CoAPO-11 exhibited best activity and good selectivities for the monofunctional oxidation products (88.5%). Cyclohexanol was the major product over most catalysts, whereas for Cr-containing molecular sieves, high selectivity of cyclohexanone was observed. Investigation of reaction mechanism based on CoAPO-11 and CrAPO-5 catalysts indicated that the decomposition of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide (CHHP), the intermediate in cyclohexane oxidation, followed the pathway: cyclohexanone <-- CHHP --> cyclohexanol -->cyclohexanone.

Hydrogenation of phenol in scCO(2) over carbon nanofiber supported Rh catalyst

A catalyst of Rh nanoparticles supported on a carbon nanofiber, 5 wt.% Rh/CNF, with an average size of 2-3 nm has been prepared by a method of incipient wetness impregnation. The catalyst presented a high activity in the ring hydrogenation of phenol in a medium of supercritical CO2 (scCO(2)) at a low temperature of 323 K. The presence of compressed CO2 retards hydrogenation of cyclohexanone to cyclohexanol under the reaction conditions used, and this is beneficial for the formation of cyclohexanone, increasing the selectivity to cyclohexanone.

Catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane over Ti-Zr-Co catalysts

Ti-Zr-Co alloys have been fabricated and characterized, and their catalytic performance was discussed for the oxidation of cyclohexane with oxygen under solvent-free condition. The icosahedral quasicrystalline phase (I-phase)-forming ability of Ti-Zr-Co alloys with different compositions was discussed, and it was confirmed that I-phase could be formed as a dominating phase at the Ti-rich composition region from Ti53Zr27Co20 to Ti75Zr5Co20 in as-cast alloys. The composition and microstructure of Ti-Zr-Co alloys present crucial influences on its catalytic activity and selectivity in the oxidation of cyclohexane. The influences of some reaction parameters such as temperature, reaction time, and catalyst amounts were also investigated. Ti70Zr10Co20 alloy containing quasicrystal microstructure showed good catalytic performance with a 6.8% conversion of cyclohexane and 90.4% selectivity of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone. It behaves as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the oxidation of cyclohexane and could be recycled five times without loss in activity and selectivity.

Investigation of "Rearrangement Step" in classical Beckmann rearrangement mechanism over solid acid by means of O-18 isotopic

The reaction mechanism of the Beckmann rearrangement over B2O3/gamma-Al2O3 and TS-1 in the gas phase has been investigated by isotope labeling approach. The isotopic labeled products were measured by mass spectrometry method. By exchanging oxygen with H, 180 in the rearrangement step, it was found that the exchange reaction between cyclohexanone oxime and (H2O)-O-18 over B2O3/-gamma-Al2O3 and TS-1 could only be carried out in some extent. It suggested that the dissociation of nitrilium, over solid acids be not completely free as the classical mechanism. A concept of the dissociation degree (alpha) that is defined as the ratio of the dissociated intermediate nitrilium to the total intermediate nitrilium has been proposed. By fitting the experimental values with the calculation equation of isotopic labeled products, it is obtained that a values for B2O3/-gamma-Al2O3 and TS-1 are 0.199 and 0.806 at the reaction conditions, respectively.
