  • Mass Transfer and Hydrogenation of Acetone
    MASS TRANSFER AND HYDROGENATION OF ACETONE IN A VIBRATING SLURRY REACTOR Thesis submitted for the degree of Ph.D. of the University of London by Norberto Oscar Lemcoff Department-of Chemical Engineering and Chemical Technology, Imperial College of Science and Technology, London S.W.7. February, 1974 ABSTRACT When a column of liquid-is made to oscillate vertically, gas bubbles are entrained and carried to the bottom of the column, where they aggregate and form a large slug which, in turn, rises to the top. Large volumes of gas are entrained and the fluid becomes highly agitated. A study of the solid- liquid mass transfer and of an heterogeneous catalyzed reaction in this equipment and the kinetic analysis of the hydrogenation of acetone over Raney nickel have been carried out. A large increase in the mass transfer coefficient for solid-liquid systems in the vibrating liquid column over those reported in a stirred tank has been observed. Two correlations for the Sherwood number as a function of the Reynolds, Schmidt and Froude numbers and the relative amplitude of oscillation have been found, one corresponding to the case no bubble cycling occurs and the other to the case it does. In the kinetic study, a Langmuir-Hinshelwood type equa- tion to represent the rate of hydrogenation of acetone in n-octane, isooctane, isopropanol and water and a correlation for the hydrogen solubility in different solvents and their mixtures have been developed. Activation energies and the order of reaction with respect to hydrogen have been determined. Finally, the behaviour of the vibrating column of liquid as an heterogeneous slurry reactor has been analysed by using two Raney nickel catalysts of different average particle size in the hydrogenation of aqueous acetone.

  • 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.

  • Investigations with the Use of Raney Nickel Catalyst
    INVESTIGATIONS WITH THE USE OF RANEY NICKEL CATALYST I. CHAKGES IN THE HYDROGENATION ACTIVITY OF RANEY KICKEL AS A FUNCTION OF THE TEMPERATURE AND DDRA.TION OF EXTRACTION By. Z. CSUROS, J. PETRO and J. VOROS Department of Organic Chemical Technology, Polytechnic University, Budapest (Received February 15, 1957) Introduction Raney nickel is a much employed hydrogenating catalyst, applied mainly in batch hydrogenations in the liquid phase. Its 'wide-spread use is due to its cheapness and to the relatively simple way of its preparation. Another ad­ vantage is that Raney nickel is suited for the hydrogenation of many types of compounds. The interest in Raney nickel is attested by the great number of patents and the extensive literature (see later) dealing ,\'ith the preparation of its more active varieties. It is, however, rather difficult to get a dear idea of the ways and means of its preparation failing a reliable basis for comparing the papers and descriptions. Some authors describe the preparation of Raney nickel in divergent ways, ,vithout referring to model compounds. Others demonstrate the hydrogenation activity of catalysts, prepared by them, in the form of results attained ,\'ith model compounds. Only a few research workers publish comparative data ,vith catalysts prepared by other methods. In the above­ mentioned cases the possibility of compaTison is excluded by the sole fact that almost each reseaTch wOTker uses diffeTent model compounds. In the first part of this paper an attempt is made to study, \\ith othendse identical e:x-perimental factors and model compounds, the changes in the hydro­ genation activity of Raney nickel as a function of the conditions of preparation, and, respectively, to clear up the order of magnitude of the changes in the activity of the catalyst under altered conditions of preparation (varying the temperature and duration of extraction) and under the action of various additions.

  • Expanding the Scope of Asinger Chemistry Towards Enantiomerically Pure Secondary Amines and Β-Aminothiols Through Chemoenzymatic Derivatization of 3-Thiazolines
    Article Expanding the Scope of Asinger Chemistry towards Enantiomerically Pure Secondary Amines and β-Aminothiols through Chemoenzymatic Derivatization of 3-Thiazolines Mentor Hyseni 1, Nadine Zumbrägel 1 , Heribert Offermanns 2,3 and Harald Gröger 1,* 1 Chair of Industrial Organic Chemistry and Biotechnology, Faculty of Chemistry, Bielefeld University, Universitätsstraße 25, 33615 Bielefeld, Germany; [email protected] (M.H.); [email protected] (N.Z.) 2 Grünaustraße 2, 63457 Hanau, Germany; heppoff@gmx.de 3 Former affiliation: Degussa-Hüls AG, Weißfrauenstraße 9, 60287 Frankfurt am Main, Germany * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 21 August 2019; Accepted: 18 October 2019; Published: 28 October 2019 Abstract: A proof of concept for a novel approach towards enantiomerically highly enriched acyclic secondary amines and β-aminothiols as non-cyclic target molecules when starting from 3-thiazolines as heterocycles is presented. Starting from 2,2,4,5,5-pentamethyl-3-thiazoline, we demonstrated this chemoenzymatic pathway to both of these types of amine molecules, which were isolated as urea derivatives with a non-optimized yield of up to 20%. As a substrate, 2,2,4,5,5-pentamethyl-3-thiazolidine, which was obtained with an enantiomeric excess (ee) of 99% in a biotransformation from the corresponding 3-thiazoline according to a recently developed protocol, was used. For the reductive desulfurization of this substrate leading to a sulfur-free secondary amine, in situ formed Ni2B turned out to be a suitable reducing reagent. However, when using lithium aluminum hydride as a reducing agent, β-aminothiol was obtained. Keywords: amines; β-aminothiols; Asinger chemistry; chemoenzymatic synthesis; heterocycles 1.
