A detailed kinetic model of 1,3-butadiene/propyne co-pyrolysis with the sub-mechanism of aromatic hydrocarbon formation is developed and validated on previous 1,3-butadiene and propyne pyrolysis experiments. The model is able to reproduce both the single component pyrolysis and the co-pyrolysis experiments, as well as the synergistic effect between 1,3- butadiene and propyne on the formation of a series of aromatic hydrocarbons. Based on the rate of production and sensitivity analyses, key reaction pathways in the fuel decomposition and aromatic hydrocarbon formation processes are revealed and insight into the synergistic effect on aromatic hydrocarbon formation is also achieved. The synergistic effect results from the interaction between 1,3-butadiene and propyne. The easily happened chain initiation in the 1,3-butadiene decomposition provides an abundant radical pool for propyne to undergo the H-atom abstraction and produce propargyl radical which plays key roles in the formation of aromatic hydrocarbons. Besides, the 1,3-butadiene/propyne co-pyrolysis includes high concentration levels of C3 and C4 precursors simultaneously, which stimulates the formation of key aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and naphthalene.展开更多

The complexes were characterized by IR and element analysis, and complex la was further characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The solid state structure of complex la displayed a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Upon activation with ethylaluminum sesquichloride （EASC）, all the complexes showed high activities toward 1,3-butadiene polymerization. The cobalt complexes produced polymers with high cis-1,4 contents and high molecular weights, while the nickel complexes displayed low cis-l,4 selectivity and the resulting polymers had low molecular weights. The catalytic activities of the complexes highly depended on the ligand structure. With the increment of polymerization temperature, the cis-1,4 content and the molecular weight of the resulting polymer decreased.展开更多

Among them, 2e adopted a three-legged distorted tetrahedral geometry evidenced by X-ray crystallography. The poly-1,3-butadiene with high molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution was obtained by using these complexes as the catalysts activated with methylaluminoxane （MAO）. The catalytic activities of the complexes depended on their structures. The Ti-- O--C bond in the complexes with large angle afforded them with higher activity, while Cp＊-based complexes exhibited lower activities than the Cp-based analogues. The activity of complex increased with increasing the polymerization temperature while the selectivity remained no change, indicating the high thermal stability. Furthermore, the polymerization of 1,3-butadiene catalyzed by 2a/MAO at 0 ℃ has been found in a living fashion.展开更多

It is found that 1,3-butadiene adsorption on the Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst mainly forms π-adsorbed butadiene(πs and πd) and σ-bonded surface species. These species are adsorbed mainly on the surface Moδ+(0<δ<2) sites as evidenced by co-adsorption of 1,3-butadiene and CO on the fresh Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. The IR spectrometric analysis show that hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene over fresh Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst produces mainly butane coupled with a small portion of butene. The selectivity of butene during the hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene over fresh Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst might be explained by the adsorption mode of adsorbed 1,3-butadiene. Additionally, the active sites of the fresh Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst may be covered by coke during the hydrogenation reaction of 1,3-butadiene. The treatment with hydrogen at 673 K cannot remove the coke deposits from the surface of the Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst.展开更多

Results show thatthere are little differences in activation energy between EB and DEB, so it is difficult to explain the fact that the mutagenicity of DEB is greater (about 100-fold) than that of EB by the ability of alkylation. it is also known that DEB can interstrand cross-link with DNA through two times alkylating reactions, whereas EB cannot. So this may contribute to the significant different genotoxicity of the two agents. Meanwhile, DEB can interstrand cross-link with many sequences of DNA in major groove vs. two in minor groove, which increases opportunity of interstrand cross-link with DNA in major groove. This difference may be the reason of base selection of DEB mutation. The deformation of some cross-linked DNA may also contribute to this展开更多

文摘The catalytic synthesis of 1,3-butadiene(1,3-BD)from bio-based ethanol offers an alternative and sustainable process beyond petroleum.However,the intrinsic active sites and corresponding mechanism of 1,3-BD formation have not been fully elucidated yet.By correlating systematic characterization results with catalytic performance,the open Zr species,i.e.,Zr(OH)(OSi)_(3)moieties,were identified as the active site over the Zr/MFI-BM catalysts for the catalytic transformation of ethanol-acetaldehyde into 1,3-BD.In conjunction with controlled experiments and theory calculations,ethanol and acetaldehyde are proposed to synergistically co-adsorb on the Zr(OH)(OSi)_(3)species in a bi-molecular mode,which assists the acetaldehyde condensation and accelerates the critical Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley-Oppenauer reduction,and accordingly promotes 1,3-BD formation.These findings will stimulate the search towards new metal-zeolite combinations for efficient production of value-added 1,3-BD via biomass-derived ethanol and beyond.

The model is able to reproduce both the single component pyrolysis and the co-pyrolysis experiments, as well as the synergistic effect between 1,3- butadiene and propyne on the formation of a series of aromatic hydrocarbons. Based on the rate of production and sensitivity analyses, key reaction pathways in the fuel decomposition and aromatic hydrocarbon formation processes are revealed and insight into the synergistic effect on aromatic hydrocarbon formation is also achieved. The synergistic effect results from the interaction between 1,3-butadiene and propyne. The easily happened chain initiation in the 1,3-butadiene decomposition provides an abundant radical pool for propyne to undergo the H-atom abstraction and produce propargyl radical which plays key roles in the formation of aromatic hydrocarbons. Besides, the 1,3-butadiene/propyne co-pyrolysis includes high concentration levels of C3 and C4 precursors simultaneously, which stimulates the formation of key aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and naphthalene.

文摘A series of bifunctional Zn Ce@SBA-15 catalysts with different Zn/Ce ratios were prepared by a solid-state grinding strategy and used in the conversion of ethanol to 1,3-butadiene(ETB).For the supported metal oxides,Zn O serves as the active sites for the dehydrogenation of ethanol,and CeO_(2) promotes the aldolcondensation reaction.Based on the results of Py-FTIR and NH_(3)-TPD,it suggests that the yield of 1,3-butadiene is positively correlated with the number of weak Lewis acid sites on the catalyst surface,given their benefit for aldol-condensation reactions.The catalyst with an optimal Zn/Ce ratio of about 1:5 has the highest concentration of weak Lewis acid.Coupling with the Zn O sites,it contributes to a 98.4%conversion of ethanol and a 45.2%selective of 1,3-butadiene under relatively mild reaction conditions(375°C,101.325 k Pa,and 0.54 h^(-1)).

文摘An efficient method for the synthesis of 5-vinyl-2-norbornene from cyclopentadiene and 1,3-butadiene was developed.The Diels-Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene with 1,3-butadiene proceeded smoothly in supercritical carbon dioxide in the absence of any polymerization inhibitor to produce the corresponding5-vinyl-2-norbornene in satisfactory yield with high selectivity.
文摘DFT calculations have been performed to discover the mechanism for the synthesis of dimethyl adipate(DMA)by 1,3-butadiene(BD)dicarbonylation catalyzed by a complex consisting of palladium and a bidentate diphosphine ligand.The computational results indicate that BD dicarbonylation involves two catalytic stages with the same reaction mechanism including terminal alkenyl insertion,CO migratory insertion,and methanolysis.Four different reaction routes have been explored,the pathway yielding linear DMA has the lowest alkenyl C-H insertion barrier with an overall barrier of 13.4 kcal·mol^(-1)(1 kcal·mol^(-1)=4.184 kJ·mol^(-1)).The regioselectivity of the BD dicarbonylation depends mainly on the barrier of the alkenyl insertion into the palladium-hydrogen complex site.The computations well reproduced the experimentally observed linear selectivity.

文摘The surface species formed from the adsorption of 1,3-butadiene and 1,3-butadiene hydrogenation over the fresh Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was studied by in situ IR spectroscopy. It is found that 1,3-butadiene adsorption on the Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst mainly forms π-adsorbed butadiene(πs and πd) and σ-bonded surface species. These species are adsorbed mainly on the surface Moδ+(0<δ<2) sites as evidenced by co-adsorption of 1,3-butadiene and CO on the fresh Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. The IR spectrometric analysis show that hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene over fresh Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst produces mainly butane coupled with a small portion of butene. The selectivity of butene during the hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene over fresh Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst might be explained by the adsorption mode of adsorbed 1,3-butadiene. Additionally, the active sites of the fresh Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst may be covered by coke during the hydrogenation reaction of 1,3-butadiene. The treatment with hydrogen at 673 K cannot remove the coke deposits from the surface of the Mo2C/γ-Al2O3 catalyst.
文摘Several novel cobalt dichloride complexes with amino-phosphine bidentate ligands were synthesized and characterized.For some of them single crystals were obtained and their molecular structure was determined by X-ray diffraction method.All the complexes were then used in combination with MAO for the polymerization of 1,3-butadiene,obtaining polymers with different structures(i.e.,predominantly 1,2 or cis-1,4)mainly depending on the type of ligand and on the MAO/Co molar ratio.The behavior of these novel catalysts was compared with that exhibited,in the polymerization of the same monomer,by the systems CoCl_(2)(PR3)2-MAO and CoCl_(2)(PRPh2)2-MAO(R=alkyl or cycloalkyl group),and by the systems based on cobalt dichloride complexes with various bi-and tridentate ligands(e.g.,diphosphines,bis-imines,pyridyl-imines,bis-iminopyridines).The comparison between the different systems allowed us to make some clarity about the actual and effective role played by the various types of ligands in the polymerization of conjugated dienes with catalytic systems CoCl_(2)(L)-MAO,in which L=mono-,bi-,or tri-dentate ligand.

文摘1,3-Butadiene plays a key role in modern synthetic chemistry and biochemistry because it is a key intermediate in the synthesis of many drugs.A new and effective method for the synthesis of 4-trifluoromethylated 1,3-butadiene through the fluorinated Heck reaction catalyzed by Pd(0)is described.Without additives,1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene(an inexpensive CF3 structural unit that is harmless to ozone)reacts with enamide to synthesize 4-trifluoromethylated 1,3-butadienes with good yield,high regioselectivity and chemical selectivity,and strong tolerance of substrate functional groups such as alkynes,aldehyde,and ester groups.

文摘The alkylating reactions of 1,2-epoxy-3,4-butene (EB) and 1,2,3,4-diepoxybutane (DEB)-the important metabolites of rodent carcinogenic 1,3-butadiene, with adenine and cytosine andinteraction with fragment of DNA on major groove-have been computed. Results show thatthere are little differences in activation energy between EB and DEB, so it is difficult to explain the fact that the mutagenicity of DEB is greater (about 100-fold) than that of EB by the ability of alkylation. it is also known that DEB can interstrand cross-link with DNA through two times alkylating reactions, whereas EB cannot. So this may contribute to the significant different genotoxicity of the two agents. Meanwhile, DEB can interstrand cross-link with many sequences of DNA in major groove vs. two in minor groove, which increases opportunity of interstrand cross-link with DNA in major groove. This difference may be the reason of base selection of DEB mutation. The deformation of some cross-linked DNA may also contribute to this
文摘Gas phase polymerization of 1,3-butadiene (Bd) catalyzed by supported rare earth coordination system is studied and a new kinetic model is proposed. Four elementary reactions or processes: the process of exposure and activation of potential active catalytic center, propagation, deactivation and chain transfer reaction to alkyl aluminum, are considered in this model. Some important parameters, such as monomer-consuming rate, are well expressed as the functions of macroscopic polymerization conditions such as pressure, temperature, and duration. The model can simulate the whole polymerization procedure satisfactorily.

文摘By introducing hydroxyl group into PPh3 ligand,a promoter-free palladium catalytic system based on(p-HOC6H4)PPh2 ligand was developed for the telomerization of 1,3-butadiene with CO_(2).High activity and selectivity towards CO_(2)-incorporated divinylδ-lactone monomer were achieved(TON/TOF:up to 4540/568 h–1;selectivity ofδ-lactone and its isomers:up to 97%).The key role of phenolic hydroxyl group of the ligand in attaining high activity was validated.The good performance of large-scale reaction in batch reactor demonstrated the potential utility of this simple catalytic system in valorizing CO_(2) with bulk chemical feedstock.
