  • Cationic Oligomerization of Ethylene Oxide
    Polymer Journal, Vol. 15, No. 12, pp 883-889 (1983) Cationic Oligomerization of Ethylene Oxide Shiro KOBAYASHI, Takatoshi KOBAYASHI, and Takeo SAEGUSA Department of Synthetic Chemistry, Faculty of Engineering, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606, Japan (Received July 29, 1983) ABSTRACT: The oligomerization of ethylene oxide (EO) was investigated with several cationic catalysts to find a method for producing cyclic oligomers (crown ethers). The reactions were monitored by NMR spectroscopy (1 H and 19F) and gas chromatography. The composition of oligomers was found to change during the reactions, and the production of 1,4-dioxane increased at the later stage of the reactions. This indicates that the composition of oligomers is kinetically controlled. The formation of higher cyclic oligomers was favored by the addition of tetrahydro­ pyran or 1,4-dioxane to the system catalyzed by an oxonium salt; the maximum yield of cyclic tetramer was 16.8%. The effect of alkali metal salts was also examined. A template effect was observed to increase the amount of cyclic oligomer production.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Biodegradation of 1,4
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Biodegradation of 1,4-Dioxane in Co-Contaminant Mixtures A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering by Shu Zhang 2017 © Copyright by Shu Zhang 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Biodegradation of 1,4-Dioxane in Co-Contaminant Mixtures by Shu Zhang Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Shaily Mahendra, Chair Bioremediation is a promising technology to degrade or detoxify various organic and inorganic compounds in polluted environments by using microbiological activity, but it is sensitive to biogeochemical conditions as well as co-occuring compounds at impacted sites. This study focused on biodegradation of 1,4-dioxane, which is a carcinogen and an emerging water contaminant. 1,4-Dioxane was utilized as a stabilizer of chlorinated solvents, such as 1,1,1- trichloroethane (TCA); and it has been found widespread in groundwater. Many US states are implementing lower regulatory advisory levels based on the toxicity profile of 1,4-dioxane and the potential public health risks. However, the unique chemical properties of 1,4-dioxane, such as high water solubility, low Henry’s law constant, and importantly, the co-occurrence with chlorinated solvents and other contaminants, increase the challenges to efficiently cleanup 1,4- ii dioxane contaminations. The objectives of this research were to measure and model the effects of chlorinated solvents on 1,4-dioxane metabolic biodegradation by laboratory pure cultures, elucidate the mechanisms of the inhibition, and test the effects of mixtures of co-contaminants in samples collected from actual 1,4-dioxane contaminated sites.

  • Working with Hazardous Chemicals
    A Publication of Reliable Methods for the Preparation of Organic Compounds Working with Hazardous Chemicals The procedures in Organic Syntheses are intended for use only by persons with proper training in experimental organic chemistry. All hazardous materials should be handled using the standard procedures for work with chemicals described in references such as "Prudent Practices in the Laboratory" (The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C., 2011; the full text can be accessed free of charge at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12654). All chemical waste should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. For general guidelines for the management of chemical waste, see Chapter 8 of Prudent Practices. In some articles in Organic Syntheses, chemical-specific hazards are highlighted in red “Caution Notes” within a procedure. It is important to recognize that the absence of a caution note does not imply that no significant hazards are associated with the chemicals involved in that procedure. Prior to performing a reaction, a thorough risk assessment should be carried out that includes a review of the potential hazards associated with each chemical and experimental operation on the scale that is planned for the procedure. Guidelines for carrying out a risk assessment and for analyzing the hazards associated with chemicals can be found in Chapter 4 of Prudent Practices. The procedures described in Organic Syntheses are provided as published and are conducted at one's own risk. Organic Syntheses, Inc., its Editors, and its Board of Directors do not warrant or guarantee the safety of individuals using these procedures and hereby disclaim any liability for any injuries or damages claimed to have resulted from or related in any way to the procedures herein.

  • Organic Synthesis Using Carbon Dioxide As Phosgene-Free Carbonyl Reagent*
    Pure Appl. Chem., Vol. 84, No. 3, pp. 581–602, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.1351/PAC-CON-11-05-04 © 2011 IUPAC, Publication date (Web): 1 September 2011 Organic synthesis using carbon dioxide as phosgene-free carbonyl reagent* An-Hua Liu, Yu-Nong Li, and Liang-Nian He‡ State Key Laboratory and Institute of Elemento-Organic Chemistry, Nankai University, Tianjin 300071, China Abstract:CO2 is very attractive as a typical renewable feedstock for manufacturing com- modity chemicals, fuel, and materials since it is an abundant, nontoxic, nonflammable, and easily available C1 resource. The development of greener chemical methodologies for replac- ing the utility of hazardous and environmentally undesirable phosgene largely relies on ingenious activation and incorporation of CO2 into valuable compounds, which is of para- mount importance from a standpoint of green chemistry and sustainable development. Great efforts have been devoted to constructing C–C, C–O, and C–N bond on the basis of CO2 acti- vation through molecular catalysis owing to its kinetic and thermodynamic stability. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the versatile use of CO2 in organic synthesis as the alterna- tive carbonyl source of phosgene, with the main focus on utilization of CO2 as phosgene replacement for the synthesis of value-added compounds such as cyclic carbonates, oxa - zolidinones, ureas, isocyanates, and polymers, affording greener pathways for future chemi- cal processes. Keywords: atom economy; aziridines; carbon dioxide; carbonylation; catalysis; green chemistry; ionic liquids; organic carbonate; phosgene-free process; urea. INTRODUCTION CO2 as an abundant, nontoxic, easily available, and typical renewable C1 source as well as an impor- tant “greenhouse” gas has been drawing more and more attention in line with the need for development of green chemistry and a sustainable society.

  • Diethyl Azodicarboxylate, Conventionally Abbreviated As DEAD and Sometimes As DEADCAT, Is an Organic Compound with the Structural Formula
    DBU • 1,5-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene, or more commonly DBU, is a chemical compound and belongs to the class of amidine compounds. • It is used in organic synthesis as a catalyst, a complexing ligand, and a non-nucleophilic base. • . It is also used as a curing agent for epoxy. • It is used in fullerene purification with trimethylbenzene (it reacts with C 70 and higher fullerenes, but not to C 60 fullerenes) • It is also used as a catalyst in polyurethane production. • It has a strong catalyst effect for the reactions of alicyclic and aliphatic isocyanates. • It also exhibited its dual character (base and nucleophile) in the synthesis of aryl- and styryl-terminal acetylenes. DEAD • Diethyl azodicarboxylate, conventionally abbreviated as DEAD and sometimes as DEADCAT, is an organic compound with the structural formula CH3CH2O2CN=NCO2CH2CH3. Its molecular structure consists of a central azo functional group, RN=NR, flanked by two ethyl ester groups. • It is an oxidising agent • This orange-red liquid is a valuable reagent but also quite dangerous and explodes upon heating. • Therefore, commercial shipment of pure diethyl azodicarboxylate is prohibited in the United States and is carried out either in solution or on polystyrene particles. • DEAD is an aza-dienophile and an efficient dehydrogenating agent, converting alcohols to aldehydes, thiols to disulfides and hydrazo groups to azo groups; it is also a good electron acceptor. • DEAD dissolves in most common organic solvents, such as toluene, chloroform, ethanol, tetrahydrofuran and dichloromethane but has low solubility in water or carbon tetrachloride; the solubility in water is higher for the related azo compound dimethyl azodicarboxylate.
