Silica Gel Supported Trifluoromethanesulfonic Acid Catalyzed Beckmann Rearrangement of Cyclohexanone Oxime in Liquid Phase

The liquid phase Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime (CHO) using fuming sulfuric acid as a catalyst is a traditional method for preparing ε-caprolactam (CPL). This process has drawbacks, such as environmental pollution, corrosion of equipment, and low added value of by-product ammonium sulfate. This article designed and prepared a green silica gel-supported trifluoromethanesulfonic acid catalyst for the liquid-phase Beckmann rearrangement of CHO to prepare (CPL). The influencing factors of catalyst preparation and the optimal reaction conditions for Beckmann rearrangement were investigated. It was found that the optimal conditions for catalyst preparation were as follows: raw material silica gel:trifluoromethanesulfonic acid = 1:0.2 (mass ratio), room temperature, stirring time of 2.5 hours, and solvent of acetonitrile, silica gel mesh size is 100 - 200. The optimal reaction conditions for Beckmann rearrangement are CHO: catalyst = 1:2 (mass ratio), temperature of 130˚C, solvent of benzonitrile, volume of 30 mL/g CHO, and reaction time of 4 hours. Under the above conditions, the conversion of CHO is 90%, and the selectivity of CPL is 90%.

Flotation performance and adsorption mechanism of novel 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)hex-2-en-1-one oxime flotation collector to malachite

A novel collector 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)hex-2-en-1-one oxime(HPHO)was synthesized from 2-hydroxy acetophenone and butyraldehyde.Its flotation performance and adsorption mechanism to malachite were investigated by flotation test,zeta potential,Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)analysis techniques.Compared with benzohydroxamic acid(BA),1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethan-1-one oxime(HPEO)and sodium isobutyl xanthate(SIBX),HPHO exhibited excellent collecting power to malachite without additional reagents,such as Na2S regulator and methyl isobutyl carbinol(MIBC)frother.Results of zeta potential indicated that HPHO was coated on malachite surfaces through a chemisorption process.FTIR and XPS data gave clear evidence for the formation of Cu−oxime complex on malachite surfaces after HPHO adsorption through the linkage between C=C,—OH,N—OH group and Cu species.

AmmAmmoximation of Cyclohexanone to Cyclohexanone Oxime Catalyzed by Titanium Silicalite-1 Zeolite in Three-phase System

An innovative green process of producing ε-caprolactam was proposed by integrating ammoximation and Beckmann rearrangement effectively. As a first part of the new process, TS-1 molecular sieve-catalyzed synthesis of cyclohexanone oxime from cyclohexanone, ammonia and hydrogen peroxide was carried out in a batch plant. Cyclohexane was used as the solvent in the three-phase reaction system. The influences of essential process parameters on ammoximation were investigated. Under the reaction conditions as catalyst content of 2.5% (by mass); H 2 O 2 /yclohexanone molar ratio of 1.10; NH 3 /cyclohexanone molar ratio of 2.20; reaction temperature of 343 K; reaction time of 5 h, high conversion of cyclohexanone and selectivity to oxime (both>99%) were obtained. Thus, the three-phase ammoximation process showed equal catalytic activity as TS-1 but much more convenient and simpler for the separation of catalyst in comparison to the industrial two-phase system with t-butanol used as solvent.

Structure-activity relationships of oxime compounds as flotation collectors by DFT calculations

The relationships between the structure of oxime compounds(R^(1)R^(2)C=NOH,R^(1)/R^(2)=alkyl groups) with different substituents and their corresponding flotation performances were studied. The analyses of density functional theory(DFT) calculations illustrated that the introduced phenyl group at the R^(1) position could enhance the acidity,while the heptyl group could effectively increase the hydrophobicity and benefit van der Waals interactions. Meanwhile,the introduced amino group at the R^(2) position could provide cationic sites to interact with negatively charged surfaces of minerals, while the introduced hydroxyl group could provide additional action sites to form stable chelates with metal ions. Based on the structure-activity relationships, structural optimization was carried out to obtain three efficient collectors, which possessed superior flotation separation performances, proving the effectiveness of the structural modification to oxime compounds in this work.

Objective: To assess and compare the cytotoxic, genotoxic, apoptotic and reactive oxygen species(ROS) generating effects of naringenin(NG) and its new derived compound naringenin-oxime(NG-Ox) on MCF-7, HT-29, PC-12 cancer and L-929 normal cell lines.Methods: The cells were incubated with different doses of NG-Ox and NG(50–1 000 mmol/L) for 24 h. The cell viability was assessed based on ATP cell viability assay.Intracellular accumulation of ROS was determined using the fluorescent probes 2070-dichlorodihydrofluorescin diacetate.

The effects were more pronounced on cancer cell lines. The cytotoxic, genotoxic and apoptotic effects of NG-Ox were higher than that of NG in all cell lines. Significant correlations were observed between cell viability, DNA damage, apoptosis and ROS, in all cell lines exposed to either NG-Ox or NG.Conclusions: This study showed that both NG-Ox and NG possess cytotoxic, genotoxic and apoptotic activities through the production of ROS on cells, NG-Ox being the more effective one. Therefore, derived compound of NG might be used as antiproliferative agents for the treatment of cancer.
