Solventless ketalization of glycerol to solketal with acetone over the ionic liquid[P(C4H9)3C14H29][TsO]

The ketalization of glycerol with acetone was conducted over an ionic liquid[P(C4H9)3C14H29][TsO](TTPT)in a batch reactor.A scheme to obtain the purified product using TTPT as a homogeneous catalyst is proposed and a maximum solketal yield of 86%is achieved at acetone/glycerol molar ratio of 6/1,reaction time of 0.5 h,reaction temperature of 303 K,catalyst amount of 5 wt%of glycerol.TTPT was recycled and reused for ten times without obvious losses in terms of quantity and activity.Furthermore,effects of various experimental parameters(stirring speed,catalyst loadings,temperature and reactant composition)on the reaction kinetics are investigated.In terms of kinetics modeling,Kγis fitted by reactant composition at the temperature range 298 K–323 K,which was a concise strategy that showed good precision in the kinetics fitting.The activation energy for this ketalization reaction was evaluated to be 28.2 kJ·mol^-1.In addition,the kinetics of the reaction at a temperature exceeding the boiling point of acetone were also studied.We believe that all the results are important for further development of a technology for the continuous synthesis of solketal.

Fe doped aluminoborate PKU-1 catalysts for the ketalization of glycerol to solketal: Unveiling the effects of iron composition and boron

An inexpensive Fe doped aluminoborate consisted of 18% Fe in PKU-1 material that exhibits high selectivity of 4-hydroxymethy-2,2-dimethyl^(-1),3-dioxolane (Solketal, 98.3%), considerable activity (TOF 51.7 h-1), and recyclable ability in the ketalization of glycerol to Solketal with acetone at 318 K has been developed. Our study demonstrated that the structure of Fe (less agglomerated iron species vs. FeO clusters) can be tuned by changing Fe loading in the PKU-1 material, which correlated well with experimental observations. Furthermore, the surface boron sites were promoted by iron loading and behaved as Lewis-acid sites to facilitate the reaction process of glycerol ketalization, while the Solketal selectivity was closely related with the structure of iron species in PKU-1, which was proved by kinetic studies, density function theory (DFT) calculations, and a series of spectroscopy studies. This investigation demonstrates that the surface B sites can play important roles in the reaction instead of being spectators.

Preparation of a Carbon-Based Solid Acid with High Acid Density via a Novel Method

A carbon-based solid acid with high acid density was successfully prepared using camphor tree branches as raw materials through a novel method including dilute sulfuric acid activation, carbonization in refluxing solvent and sulfonation. Physical characterization was detected to show that the carbon-based acid is amorphous with polycyclic aromatic carbon sheets attached plentiful -OH, -COOH, and -SO3H groups. The sulfonic acid density and total acid density of it reached 2.05 mmol·g-1 and 5.63 mmol·g-1, respectively by acid-base titration. As a solid acid catalyst, it showed excellent performance in the ketalization of cyclohexanone with glycol.

PHOTOINITIATED CROSSLINKING OF EPDM/INORGANIC FILLER BLENDS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF RELATED PROPERTIES

Photoinitiated crosslinking of ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer （EPDM） blends filled with calcium carbonate, talc and calcined kaolin （CK） in the presence of benzil dimethyl ketal as photoinitiator and trimethylolpropane triacrylate as crosslinker and their related properties have been studied by different analytical methods, The results from gel content and heat extension determination show that the efficiency ofphotocrosslinking of EPDM increases with increasing the content of diene and its molecular weight. The EPDM blends with 100 phr different inorganic fillers can be photocrosslinked to gel content of above 60% by 5 s UV-irradiation under optimum conditions. Under the same conditions of irradiation, the orders of photocrosslinking rate and final gel content are EPDM/CaCO3 〉 EPDM/talc 〉 EPDM/CK. The data from thermogravimetric analysis, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, electrical properties, mechanical tests and scanning electron microscopy show that UV irradiation crosslinking apparently enhances the thermal stability, mechanical properties and electrical properties of the photocrosslinked EPDM/inorganic filler samples. Although the attenuated total-reflection FTIR data show that inorganic fillers can promote the surface photo-oxidation of EPDM/inorganic filler samples with increasing the irradiation time, the above related properties of the photocrosslinked EPDM blends irradiated within 5 s are enough to satisfy many applications in the cable industry.

Further Report on A Novel Scission of Alkyl Carbonyl C-C Bond by Substituted 4-Hydroxyacetophenones

3-Methoxy-, 3, 5-dimethoxy-, and 3-phenyl-4-hydroxyacetophenones suffered alkyl carbonyl C-C bond scission to yield 4-hydroxybenzoate esters and 4-isopropenylphenols under standard conditions of ethylene ketal formation; the latter underwent in situ dimerization, cyclization, and rearrangement to give substituted indanols. The isopropenylphenol derived from 3,5-ditertbutyl-4-hydroxyacetophenone did not dimerize but condensed with its precursor to yield a substituted diphenylpropanone. 3-nitro-, 3,5-dinitro-, and 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxyacetophenones on the other hand reacted normally to give ethylene ketals in good yields.

Postsynthesis of hierarchical core/shell ZSM-5 as an efficient catalyst in ketalation and acetalization reactions

Hierarchical core/shell Zeolite Socony Mobil-five(ZSM-5)zeolite was hydrothermally postsythesized in the solution of NaOH and diammonium surfactant via a dissolution-reassembly strategy.The silica and alumina species were firstly dissolved partially from the bulky ZSM-5 crystals and then were reassembled into the MFI-type nanosheets with the structure-directing effect of diammonium surfactant,attaching to the out-surface of ZSM-5 core crystals.The mesopores thus were generated in both the core and shell part,giving rise to a micropore/mesopore composite material.The micropore volume and the acidity of the resultant hybrid were well-preserved during this recrystallization process.Possessing the multiple mesopores and enlarged external surface area,the core/shell ZSM-5 zeolite exhibited higher activity in the ketalation and acetalization reactions involving bulky molecules in comparison to the pristine ZSM-5.
