Dr. T. H. Black Date Thesis Title: "New Reagents and Reactions for Desulfurization of Coal" Author: Shan Wang Thesis directed by: Dr. David H. Buchanan Abstract Searching for new reagents and reactions for pre-combustion desulfurization of coal was the goal of this work. In this study, modifications of mild desulfurization reactions, which were found to work with organosulfur model compounds, have been investigated systemetically for improvements in sulfur removal and reduction of reagent cost. The screening of reagents and new reactions utilized substituted thiophenes plus aryl sulfides as the initial models for organosulfur compounds in coal. Tetrahydrofuran extracts of Illinois Basin Coals were also used as second generation targets for desulfurization reac­ tions. Dibenzothiophene was converted to biphenyl using potassium metal/tetrahydrofuran without the addition of electron transfer agents. Similar desulfurization reactions of tetrahydrofuran extracts of Illinois Basin coals gave up to an 82.8% reduction in organo­ sulfur content. A soluble chlorovinyl nickel complex added to the reaction increased the desulfurization to 85.6%. Attempts to produce active desulfurization reagents from iron pentacarbonyl with reduc­ 1 ing agents in alcohol solvents (conditions for the production of [H-Fe(C0)4r ) did not lead to useful desulfurization of dibenzothiophene, benzothiophene or benzyl sulfide. Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in aprotic solvents is known to react with elemental sulfur to produce trisulfide anion radical by the single electron transfer pathway. Reac­ tion of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide with dibenzothiophene in aprotic solvents led to large amounts of unreacted starting material and gave no evidence of hydrocarbon products. Desulfurized products bibenzyl, biphenyl, and 2-phenyl phenol were produced by reac­ tion of benzyl phenyl sulfide using potassium hydroxide/n-butyl lithium/18-crown-6 in dimethyl sulfoxide. No desulfurization of dibenzothiophene was observed using the same reaction system. Acknowledgement I would like to thank my advisor Dr. David H. Buchanan for his great patience and help during this work. Also I would like to thank those who gave me supports in many respects during my staying at Eastern Illinois University.

Tables and Figures Chapter I Introduction and Background The United States has about a third of the world coal reserve that can be utilized for several hundred years, in contrast with the petroleum resources in the U.S. It can be expected that the future will see the increasing use of coal as a substitute for oil as fuel supply. However, this shift from oil to coal is hampered by the high sulfur contents in the coal. According to current and pending U.S. Federal regulations, the burning of high­ sulfur coal will require either pre-combustion removal of up to 90% of the sulfur in the coal or the use of post-combustion stack gas scrubbing. Since the latter choice is both difficult and expensive, a major breakthrough in cleaning of high-sulfur coal mainly depends on the pre-combustion desulfurization. Sulfur forms in coals are scientifically classified into: (1) pyritic sulfur, (2) sulfatic sulfur, and (3) organic sulfur. However, as the names imply, an understanding of sulfur compo­ sition in coal, especially at the molecular level, has not yet been achieved. The procedure for determination of the sulfur content in coal is according to ASTM D-2492. 1 Through the research of previous workers, great success has been achieved in the removal of mineral forms of sulfur (mainly pyrite) from coal. For instance, various mechanical methods for coal cleaning now in use or near commercialization are able to remove 80% or more of the mineral sulfur from coai.2-4 However, mineral forms of 1 sulfur often constitute only half of all sulfur present.5•6 So, in order to achieve the neces­ sary degree of cleaning of coal, pre-combustion desulfurization must remove both miner­ al and organic forms of sulfur. Unfortunately, because of the lack of a chemical strategy for the selective cleavage of the carbon-sulfur bond in the matrix of coal, the removal of organic sulfur from coal for the purpose of pre-combustion desulfurization still remains a very serious challenge. Unlike the mineral forms of sulfur in coal, organic sulfur, which is chemically bonded to the matrix of the coal, can not be removed from coal by simple physical cleaning or solvent extraction.7 In earlier work at Eastern Illinois University,7 simple solvent extrac­ tion methods were shown to be unable to selectively remove the organic content of sulfur from coal. Through research on perchloroethylene extraction of coal, it was shown that pyrite, not organosulfur compounds, is the source of the S0 extracted by perchloroethyl­ ene. And, within experimental error, almost no organic sulfur was removed by perchloro­ ethylene extraction.7 Therefore, selective chemical reactions will be necessary for pre­ combustion desulfurization. Various methods have been investigated for the removal of the organic sulfur from coal. A very severe desulfurization process involves molten caustic leaching of coal. 8 In the first step, the coal is leached with molten sodium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide-potas­ sium hydroxide mixtures at 370-390°C for several hours. During this process, most minerals in the coal are converted to soluble alkali-metal salts and the sulfur-containing 2 organic components of coal are converted to soluble sulfides.9 After leaching, the caus­ tic-treated coal is washed with water, dilute acid, and then again with water to remove the soluble sulfides. There is a 90% reduction in the sulfur content. 8 Another chemical method for desulfurization exploits the chlorinolysis of coal. 10 The coal is mixed with carbon tetrachloride and water and is heated at 65-70°C in the presence of dichlorine. The chlorinated coal is hydrolyzed at 70-80°C for 2 hours and then dechlorinated at 350- 4000C in the presence of steam.

IV.1) Reduction of Aromatic Sulfonyl Chlorides with Sodium Borohydride ATSUKO NOSE and TADAHIRO KUDO* Daiichi College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 22-1 Tamagawa-cho, Minami-ku, Fukuoka 815, Japan (Received September 12, 1986) Aromatic sulfonyl chlorides were reduced with sodium borohydride in tetrahydrofuran at 0•Ž to the corresponding sulfinic acids in good yields. Further reduction proceeded when the reaction was carried out under reflux in tetrahydrofuran to give disulfide and thiophenol derivatives via sulfinic acid. Furthermore, sulfonamides were reduced with sodium borohydride by heating directly to give sulfide, disulfide and thiophenol derivatives, and diphenyl sulfone was reduced under similar conditions to give thiophenol and biphenyl. Keywords reduction; sodium borohydride; aromatic sulfonyl chloride; sulfonamide; sulfone; aromatic sulfinic acid; disulfide; sulfide; thiophenol Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) itself is a relatively mild reducing agent which is extensively used for the selective reduction of the carbonyl group of ketone, aldehyde and (carboxylic) acid halide derivatives. In the previous papers, we reported that NaBI-14 can reduce some functional groups, such as carboxylic anhydrides,2) carboxylic acids3) and nitro compounds.1) As a continuation of these studies, in the present paper, we wish to report the reduction of aromatic sulfonyl chlorides, sulfinic acids and sulfonamides with NaBH4.

  • Homogeneous Models of Thiophene Hds Reactions
    HOMOGENEOUS MODELS OF THIOPHENE HDS REACTIONS. SELECTIVITY IN THIOPHENE C-S CLEAVAGE AND THIOPHENE REACTIONS WITH DINUCLEAR METAL COMPLEXES. William D. Jones,* David A. Vicic, R. Martin Chin, James H. Roache, and Andy W. Myers. Department of Chemistry, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY 14627 Received August 1, 1996 - Abstract: The reactive 16 e metal fragment [(C5Me5)Rh(PMe3)] inserts into a wide variety of thiophene C-S bonds. The structures of the thiophene, benzothiophene, and dibenzothiophene insertion complexes have been determined. While the thiophene complex adopts a planar 6- membered ring structure the other metallacycles are bent, and all molecules possess localized diene structures. The mechanism of C-S cleavage was found to proceed by way of initial sulfur coordination. 2-Methylbenzothiophene gives a kinetic product resulting from cleavage of the sulfur-vinyl bond, but then rearranges to cleave the sulfur-aryl bond. A number of substituted dibenzothiophenes were examined, showing little electronic effect of substituents, but showing a large steric effect of substituents at the 4 and 6 positions. 4,6-Dimethyldibenzothiophene does not undergo cleavage, but instead forms an S-bound complex. Reactions of a cobalt analog, (C5Me5)Co(C2H4)2 with thiophenes also lead to C-S cleaved products, and the use of a dinuclear iridium system produces a butadiene complex in which both C-S bonds have been cleaved. Introduction of these sulfur containing compounds prior to The hydrodesulfurization of petroleum is one treatment. Figure 2 shows how this original mixture of several steps in the hydrotreating of oil in which of compounds is changed upon HDS treatment at sulfur is removed from thiols and thiophenes as temperatures of 350 - 390 °C.

  • Dibenzothiophene/Oxide and Quinoxaline/Pyrazine Derivatives Serving As Electron-Transport Materials**
    FULL PAPER DOI: 10.1002/adfm.200500823 Dibenzothiophene/Oxide and Quinoxaline/Pyrazine Derivatives Serving as Electron-Transport Materials** By Tai-Hsiang Huang, Wha-Tzong Whang,* Jiun Yi Shen, Yuh-Sheng Wen, Jiann T. Lin,* Tung-Huei Ke, Li-Yin Chen, and Chung-Chih Wu* A series of 2,8-disubstituted dibenzothiophene and 2,8-disubstituted dibenzothiophene-S,S-dioxide derivatives containing quinoxaline and pyrazine moieties are synthesized via three key steps: i) palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling reaction to form dialkynes; ii) conversion of the dialkynes to diones; and iii) condensation of the diones with diamines. Single-crystal characterization of 2,8-di(6,7-dimethyl-3-phenyl-2-quinoxalinyl)-5H-5k6-dibenzo[b,d]thiophene-5,5-dione indicates a triclinic crystal structure with space group P1 and a non-coplanar structure. These new materials are amorphous, with glass-transition temperatures ranging from 132 to 194 °C. The compounds (Cpd) exhibit high electron mobilities and serve as effective elec- tron-transport materials for organic light-emitting devices. Double-layer devices are fabricated with the structure indium tin oxide (ITO)/Qn/Cpd/LiF/Al, where yellow-emitting 2,3-bis[4-(N-phenyl-9-ethyl-3-carbazolylamino)phenyl]quinoxaline (Qn) serves as the emitting layer. An external quantum efficiency of 1.41 %, a power efficiency of 4.94 lm W–1, and a current efficien- cy of 1.62 cd A–1 are achieved at a current density of 100 mA cm–2. 1.

Davis, March 26, 1984 ABSTRACT Synthetic di- and oligopeptides are described R that contain nucleophilic moieties attached to the a carbon of a 1 I CH X peptidase CH . glycine residue. These peptides are accepted by the peptide j transport systems of Escherichia coli (and other microorga- NH3-CH-CONH-CH-COO NH3CH-C00 + NH2-CH-COO a nisms) and are capable of being hydrolyzed by intracellular peptidases. After liberation of its amino group the a-substitut- X = NH, 0, S H20 ed glycine is chemically unstable (although it is stable in pep- R = alkyl, aryl etc. + CHO-COO + R-XH tide form) and decomposes, releasing the nucleophilic moiety.
