PS-HQ:More convenient in situ polymeric cocatalyst for the PdC1_2-catalyzed acetalization in supercritical carbon dioxide

Polystyrene-supported hydroquinone （PS-HQ） is presented as an in situ polymeric cocatalyst to replace polystyrenesupported benzoquinone （PS-BQ） in the PdCl2-catalyzed acetalization of methyl acrylate with methanol in supercritical carbon dioxide （scCO2） under oxygen atmosphere. Due to deletion of H2O2 oxidation step, PS-HQ is more convenient and relatively inexpensive.

STUDY ON THE POLYMERIZATION OF ACRYLONITRILE INITIATED BY POLYPROPYLENE-BASED VANADYL POLYIMIDODIACETATE——THIOUREA REDOX SYSTEM

The present paper deals with the kinetics of polymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) initialed by the redox system of polypropylene-based vanadyi polyimidodiacetate (PV)-thiourea (TU)in aqueous sulfuric acid in the temperature range from 25 to 40℃. The polymerization rate was measured by varying the concentrations of monomer, vanadyl polyimidodiacetate, thiourea and sulfuric acid. The overall rate of polymerization was summarized asRp=2.2×10~5e^(-6.560/RT) [AN]^(1.0)[PV]^(0.50)[TU]^(1.5)[H_2SO_4]^(2.0)The molecular weight of polyacrylonitrile based on the experimental data was:(?)=k 1/T [pv]^(0.50)[TU]^(1.5)[H_2SO_4]^(2.0)These results indicated that the chain radicals are terminated by combination and/or disproportionation rather than chain transfer. The cooperation effect of carboxylic groups and the macromolecular field effect of polymer supporter are the characters of vanadyl polyimidodiacetate such as the case reported in early paper.

Polymer Supported Synthesis of Multi-substituted Pyrimidine-4-one Derivatives via Pbf-activated Thiourea

Efficient polymer supported synthesis of multi-substituted pyrimidine-4-one derivatives was described. Target products were produced from fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl（Fmoc） protected β-amino acid loaded on hydro- xymethyl resin through deprotection, N-alkylation, guanidine formation, and cleavage of 2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyl dihy-drobenzofuran-sulfonyl（Pbf） by trifluoracetic acid（TFA） followed with cyclization. The procedure has the advantages of easy operation, mild reaction conditions, and forming multiple substituents.

SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF N,N'-BIS(3-ALLYL SALICYLIDENE)ETHYLENEDIAMINE COBALT(Ⅱ) SCHIFF BASE COMPLEX ANCHORED ON A NEW POLYMER SUPPORT

A new chelating polymer support has been prepared by suspension copolymerization of synthesized N,N'-bis(3- allyl salicylidene)ethylenediamine monomer Schiff base (N,N'-BSEDA) with styrene (St) and divinylbenzene (DVB) using azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator in the presence of poly(vinyl alcohol). The content and complexation ability of monomer Schiff base (N,N'-BSEDA) for cobalt ions in prepared crosslinked polymer beads have shown dependence on the amount of DVB used in reaction mixture. The amount of monomer Schiff base (N,N '-BSEDA) in crosslinked beads showed a substantial decreasing trend at high concentration of DVB in the reaction mixture (> 1.5 mol dm-3), hence the efficiency of complexation (EC%) and cobalt ion loading (EL%) of polymer beads showed a decreasing trend. The structure of monomer Schiff base (N,N'-BSEDA) and its cobalt complex on polymer support was elucidated by IR, UV and magnetic measurements. The catalytic activity of polymer bound cobalt Schiff base complex was evaluated by analyzing kinetic data of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of either supported cobalt complex or free cobalt complex. The activation energy for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by polymer supported cobalt complex was found to be low (33.37 kJ mol-1) in comparison with unsupported cobalt complex (56.35 kJ mol-1). On the basis of experimental observations, reaction steps are proposed and a suitable rate expression derived.

PROPERTIES OF POLYMER SUPPORTED Ni-Cu BIMETALLIC CATALYSTS PREPARED BY SOLVATED METAL ATOM IMPREGNATION

D-72 resin supported nickel-copper catalysts prepared by solvated metal atom impregnation (SMAI) were studied by magnetic measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The Ni particles on the catalysts are very highly dispersed and display superparamagnetic behaviour. Ni-Cu alloy clusters were found to be formed. The surface compositions are different from the bulk concentrations. In contrast with the surface enrichment in copper generally observed on conventional Ni-Cu catalysts, the surfaces of these catalysts are enriched in nickel. The nickel is in both zero and valent states, while copper is mainly in metallic state. Catalytic data show that the formation of Ni-Cu alloy clusters has a profound effect on the catalytic activities of the catalysts in the hydrogenation of furfural. The activity of the Ni:Cu ratio of one bimetallic catalysts is much higher than that of the Ni or Cu monometallic catalyst.

THE ASYMMETRIC SYNTHESIS OF AMINO ACIDS UNDER POLYMER-SUPPORTED PHASE TRANSFER CATALYTIC CONDITION

The optical alpha-amino acids were synthesized under room temperature by alkylation of N-(diphenyl methylene) glycine t-butyl ester under polymer-supported phase transfer conditions using polymer-supported cinchonine (or quinine) alkaloids as chiral phase transfer catalysts and dichloromethane as solvent, followed by hydrolysis of the above intermediates introduced to the final products-optical alpha-amino acids. This is a new method for the asymmetric synthesis of alpha-amino acids. The influences of catalyst, temperature, substrates, and organic solvents on the chemical yield and optical purities of products were studied.

POLYMER-SUPPORTED CLUSTER II SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND CATALYTIC PROPERTIES OF POLYMERSUPPORTED HETEROPENTAMETALLIC CLUSTER FeCO_3 (CO)_(12) (μ_3-AuPph_2CH_2■-■)

The polymer-supported cluster FeCo3 (CO)_(12) (μ3-AuPph_2 CH_2) (4) has been synthesized through reaction of CH_2 ph_2 PAuCl with the cluster anion FeCo_3 (CO)_(12)^-. They are characterized through IR spectra, electronic spectra and XPS, with homogenous analog FeCo_3 (CO)_(12) (μ3-AuPph_3) (3) as reference compound. The cluster (3) and the polymer-supported cluster (4) are good catalysts for hydroformylation of olefins. They have better activity and selectivity than the cluster (1) and (2).The supported cluster (4) is more stable and has catalytic activity at higher temperature than its homogeneous analog (3). From the metal core level binding energies in XPS and λ_(max) in electronic spectra, it is found that the metal-metal bonds in (4) are reinforced bypolymer supporter. The cluster (3) and (4) can be reused , and possibly do not fragment to one metal species in the course of catalytic reaction.

Synthesis of Thiourea Derivatives on Soluble Polymeric Support

A modified poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) has been developed as the solublepolymeric supports for liquid phase synthesis of novel thiourea derivatives.

Solid amine sorbents for CO_(2) capture by chemical adsorption: A review

Amines are well-known for their reversible reactions with CO_(2),which make them ideal for CO_(2) capture from several gas streams,including flue gas.In this respect,selective CO_(2) absorption by aqueous alkanolamines is the most mature technology but the process is energy intensive and has also corrosion problems.Both disadvantages can be diminished to a certain extent by chemical adsorption of CO_(2) selectively.The most important element of the chemical adsorption of CO_(2) involves the design and development of a suitable adsorbent which consist of a porous support onto which an amine is attached or immobilized.Such an adsorbent is often called as solid amine sorbent.This review covers solid amine-based studies which are developed and published in recent years.First,the review examines several different types of porous support materials,namely,three mesoporous silica(MCM-41,SBA-15 and KIT-6)and two polymeric supports(PMMA and PS)for CO_(2) adsorption.Emphasis is given to the synthesis,modifications and characterizations-such as BET and PXRD data-of them.Amination of these supports to obtain a solid amine sorbent through impregnation or grafting is reviewed comparatively.Focus is given to the adsorption mechanisms,material characteristics,and synthesis methods which are discussed in detail.Significant amount of original data are also presented which makes this review unique.Finally,relevant CO_(2) adsorption(or equilibrium)capacity data,and cyclic adsorption/desorption performance and stability of important classes of solid amine sorbents are critically reviewed.These include severa PEI or TEPA impregnated adsorbents and APTES-grafted systems.
