Lewis acid-oxygen vacancy interfacial synergistic catalysis over SO4^2-/Ce0.84Zr0.16O2-WO3-ZrO2 for N,N-diethylation of aniline with ethanol

Herein,a new mechanism involving Lewis acid-oxygen vacancy interfacial synergistic catalysis fo r aniline N,N-diethylation with ethanol was proposed,and the SO4^2-/Ce0.84Zr0.16O2-WO3-ZrO2 catalyst(SCWZ)with both Lewis acid sites and oxygen vacancies was synthesized by the hydrothermal method,which shows better catalytic activity than the reported solid acidic catalysts.Besides,the SO4^2-/ZrO2(SZ)and SO4^2-/WO3-ZrO2(SWZ)catalysts were also prepared and compared with SCWZ to investigate the synergistic effect of each component.The SO4^2-and WO3 mainly generate Lewis acid by bonding with ZrO2,which is beneficial for the fracture of the N-H bond in aniline.The Ce0.84Zr0.16O2 solid solution mainly plays a vital role in generating the oxygen vacancies as the interface active species,which can participate in stripping-OH from ethanol,then the carbocation will also be released,which only needs1.3805 kcal/mol energy,calculated by density functional theory(DFT),to be input.In comparison,the traditional reaction mechanism needs the Br■nsted acidic sites to promote the protonation of ethanol,then dehydration and subsequent formation of carbocation followed,and 108.6846 kcal/mol energy needs to be input,which is far higher than that of the new mechanism.The apparent activation energy(Ea)over SCWZ was measured by experiment to be 34.09 kJ/mol,which is much lower than that of SWZ(47.10 kJ/mol)and SZ(54.37 kJ/mol),illustrating comparatively preferable kinetics for SCWZ than that of SWZ and SZ.Besides,the conversion of aniline and selectivity to N,N-diethylaniline over SCWZ reach almost 100%and 73%,respectively,The SCWZ can be renewed for 4 times without rapid deactivation,and the longevity of SCWZ is longer than that of SWZ and SZ,as the loaded SO4^2-and tetragonal ZrO2 are stabilized by Ce0.84Zr0.16O2 and WO3,respectively.

Syntheses and Adsorption Property Research of N-Diethyl Imidazole Modified PS Resins for Iodine

A new N-diethyl imidazole modified PS resins was synthesized in this paper. The composition, structure, and properties of the resulting resins were studied by means of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and elemental analysis methods. The results showed that the resins hold the adsorption function group of quaternary ammonium structure. Meanwhile, the adsorption properties of the resulting resins for iodine were investigated. The results showed that the uptake of iodine found to be higher at natural water than at acidic medium;the adsorption capacity increased with the increasing of temperature, but when the temperature is higher than 30°C, adsorption capacity didn’t increase;the adsorption kinetics of the resins can be modeled by pseudo first-order rate equation and pseudo second-order rate equation wonderfully;Both Freundlich equations and Langmuir equations could well interpret the adsorption of resins for iodine.

Synthesis of novel thionocarbamate for copper-sulfur flotation separation and its adsorption mechanism

As a novel collector, O-isopropyl-N,N-diethyl thionocarbamate(IPDTC) was designed and synthesized for copper-sulfur flotation separation. Density functional theory calculations were performed to investigate the electronic structures of IPDTC. The results showed that IPDTC had higher energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital but lower electronegativity than O-isopropyl-N-ethyl thionocarbamate(Z-200). It was predicted that IPDTC had strong collection ability according to the reaction energy criteria. Flotation results demonstrated that the collecting ability of IPDTC to chalcopyrite and pyrite was stronger than that of Z-200. Then, the flotation mechanism was analyzed by measurements of surface tension, adsorption capacity, XPS, FTIR and zeta potential. These results indicated that IPDTC could reduce the solution surface tension. The adsorption capacity of IPDTC on chalcopyrite was higher than that on pyrite, consistent with the results of the flotation tests. FTIR, zeta potential and XPS results also demonstrated that IPDTC was strongly absorbed on the chalcopyrite surface by formation of Cu—S—C bonds, but showed a weak affinity on the pyrite surface.

Lignans with(N,N-diethyl)methyl amino group from Buxus rugulosa

Buxrugulosides A–E,four lignan glycosides(1–4)and a protocatechuate derivative(5)featuring a rare(N,Ndiethyl)methyl amino group at aromatic rings,were obtained from the aerial parts of Buxus rugulosa,which is famous for treating coronary heart disease.Their structures including absolute configurations were elucidated by HRMS,1 D and 2 D NMR,and by comparing their CD data with previous reports.Compound 1 was a rare sesquilignan,and all of these compounds were the first example of lignans with(N,N-diethyl)methyl amino group.
