Catalysts 2017,, 77,, 233;233; doi:doi:10.3390/catal708023310.3390/catal7080233 www.mdpi.com/journal/catalystswww.mdpi.com/journal/catalysts Catalysts 2017, 7, 233 2 of 10 Pt-zeolite bifunctional catalysts have been shown to be the most active for benzene alkylation with ethane [2–17]. The best results have been attained using Pt-modified HZSM-5 zeolite to obtain >90% selectivity to EtPh at an almost equilibrium benzene conversion of 12% [6]. In contrast, the alkylation of benzene with propane has proved to be more difficult, giving only 32% iPrPh selectivity at 6.6% conversion using Pt/HZSM-5 [13]. The main product was nPrPh (50% selectivity) rather than iPrPh [13], which would be the favourable product from the carbenium ion mechanism. This may be due to the shape selectivity control imposed by the zeolite microporous environment [18]. A much more selective alkylation of benzene by propane (90–93% iPrPh selectivity) has been reported using a mesoporous silica-supported Pt-heteropoly acid catalyst, Pt/H4SiW12O40/SiO2, based on the Keggin-type 12-tungstosilicic acid H4SiW12O40 (HSiW) [18]. Notably, HSiW is superior to its stronger analogue H3PW12O40 in this reaction, probably due to its larger number of proton sites and better resistance to coking [18]. We now investigate the alkylation of benzene by propane using less expensive bifunctional catalysts based on palladium. Similar to platinum, palladium is an active catalyst for alkane dehydrogenation, and is hence capable of promoting the alkylation process. The bifunctional Pd catalysts under study comprise HSiW and HZSM-5 as the acid components. In general, regardless of their formulation, these catalysts are denoted herein as Pd-HSiW and Pd-HZSM-5, respectively. Both supported and physically mixed bifunctional catalysts are used in this work; the supported ones are denoted Pd/HSiW/SiO2 and Pd/HZSM-5 and the mixed ones Pd/C + HSiW/SiO2 and Pd/C + HZSM-5. Also, we looked at the effect of gold additives on catalyst performance by testing the corresponding AuPd-HSiW and AuPd-HZSM-5 bimetallic catalysts. It is demonstrated that in benzene alkylation with propane, the Pd-HSiW and Pd-HZSM-5 catalysts perform similarly to their Pt counterparts, Pt-HSiW and Pt-HZSM-5, as reported previously [18]. The addition of gold to Pd-HSiW is shown to enhance the activity of this catalyst, although the Au-HSiW without Pd is inert. 2. Results and Discussion It is essential to compare the bifunctional Pd catalysts under study with previously reported Pt catalysts [18] under the same reaction conditions. Therefore, the Pd catalysts were tested in benzene alkylation with propane in the same system at 300 ◦C, contact time W/F = 80 g h mol−1 and [C6H6]/[C3H8] = 1:9 mol/mol without dilution of the gas feed with an inert gas, as described previously [18]. In such conditions, the equilibrium conversion of benzene to iPrPh has been reported to be 8.2% [18]. Information about the catalysts studied is given in the Materials and Methods (Section3). 2.1. Alkylation of Benzene over Pd-HZSM-5 Representative results are given in Table1. Monofunctional catalysts HZSM-5 and Pd/C + SiO 2 showed very low activity (entries 1 and 2). In contrast, bifunctional catalysts containing Pd and zeolite HZSM-5, both mixed and supported, were active in benzene alkylation with propane. This confirms the view that the reaction occurs through bifunctional metal-acid catalysis (Scheme1). With mixed catalysts Pd/C + HZSM-5, the benzene conversion increased with Pd loading, levelling off at about 2% Pd loading (Figure1; Table1, entries 3–7). This indicates that the propane dehydrogenation step (1) reaches quasi-equilibrium at ≥ 2% Pd loading, and the alkylation process becomes limited by the acid-catalysed step (2) of the benzene alkylation with propene (Scheme1). With Pd-HZSM-5 catalysts, the selectivity to the desired product iPrPh was 11–18%, the main reaction products being MePh, EtPh, and nPrPh. Similar results have been obtained previously with Pt-HZSM-5 [18]. The predominant formation of nPrPh rather than iPrPh, which would be the favourable product from the carbenium ion mechanism, has been explained [18] by the product shape selectivity control imposed by the HZSM-5 microporous environment. This implies that iPrPh, formed initially, could isomerize on HZSM-5 proton sites to form nPrPh, which possesses higher diffusivity in zeolite micropores. MePh and EtPh, which are thermodynamically more favourable products than iPrPh, probably arise from the cracking of nPrPh and iPrPh on zeolite acid sites [13]. Catalysts 2017, 7, 233 3 of 10 CatalystsSupported 2017, 7, 233 catalyst 2% Pd/HZSM-5 exhibited the best performance, giving 17.7% iPrPh selectivity3 of 9 at 19.5% benzene conversion (3.5% iPrPh yield) (Table1, entry 8).

Wilson Langley Research Center Hampton, Virginia National Aeronautics and Space Administration Scientific and Technical Information Otfice 1978 '8' SUMMARY A jet-stirred combustor, constructed of castable zirconia and with an inconel injector, has been used to study nitric oxide formation in propane-air combustion with residence times in the range from 3.2 to 3.3 msec and equiva­ lence ratios varying from 0.7 to 1.4. The residence time range was character­ istic of that found in the primary zones of aircraft turbines. Premixed propane-air formulations were subjected to intense and turbulent backmixed combustion within the cavity formed between the injector and the hemispherical inner walls of the zirconia shell. The volume of the combustor cavity was 12.7 cm3 and the mass loading was maintained in the range from 0.053 to 0.055 g/cm3-sec. Measurements were made of combustor operating tem­ perature and of nitric oxide concentration. Maximum nitric oxide concentrations of the order of 55 ppm were found in the range of equivalence ratio from 1.0 to 1.1. Nitric oxide concentrations were predicted over the range of equivalence ratio by a computer program which employs a perfectly stirred'reactor (PSR) algorithm with finite-rate kinetics.

Amide synthesis and trans- formations is a topic of continuous interest in organic chemistry. However, direct catalytic asymmetric activation of amide C-N bonds still remains a long-standing challenge due to high stability of amide linkages. Herein, we describe an organocatalytic asymmetric amide C-N bonds cleavage of N-sulfonyl biaryl lactams under mild conditions, developing a general and practical method for atroposelective construction of axially chiral biaryl amino acids. A structurally diverse set of axially chiral biaryl amino acids are obtained in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities. Moreover, a variety of axially chiral unsymmetrical biaryl organocatalysts are efficiently constructed from the resulting axially chiral biaryl amino acids by our present strategy, and show competitive outcomes in asymmetric reactions. 1 Key Laboratory of Flexible Electronics & Institute of Advanced Materials, Jiangsu National Synergetic Innovation Center for Advanced Materials, Nanjing Tech University, 30 South Puzhu Road, Nanjing 211816, China. 2 College

  • Alternatives to High Propane Prices Interest Expense and the Cost of Utilities Are the Two Largest “Out of Pocket” Expenses Facing Most Broiler Growers
    ThePoultry Engineering, Economics & Management NEWSLETTER Critical Information for Improved Bird Performance Through Better House and Ventilation System Design, Operation and Management Auburn University, in cooperation with the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association Issue No 29, May 2004 Alternatives to High Propane Prices Interest expense and the cost of utilities are the two largest “out of pocket” expenses facing most broiler growers. There is little a grower can do to reduce interest costs, short of major mortgage refinancing. However, costs associated with utilities are another matter. The topics we have addressed in most past issues of this newsletter have all dealt with housing and ventilation factors which can result in improved flock performance and in reduced levels of energy being used, which directly reduces costs to the grower. Electricity rates are typically fixed and are highly regulated. However, the price of heating fuel, specifically propane (liquefied petroleum gas or LPG), has varied widely up and down in most recent years, depending on the time of year and numerous supply and demand conditions. Growers can choose What growers should be aware of is that there are ways to reduce the from several good risk that they will have to buy propane at one of those times when the alternatives to paying price is highest. This newsletter explains several alternative methods consistently high prices growers can use to get lower and more stable propane costs over time. for propane. Understanding the Basics of Propane Pricing The most fundamental factor in propane pricing is that propane is basically a fossil fuel, being derived from raw natural gas during the oil refining process.

Grotjahn* San Diego State University, 5500 Campanile Drive, San Diego, California 92182-1030, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Here we examine in detail two catalysts for their ability to selectively convert 1-alkenes to (E)-2-alkenes while κ2 + limiting overisomerization to 3- or 4-alkenes. Catalysts 1 and 3 are composed of the cations CpRu( -PN)(CH3CN) and * κ2 + − Cp Ru( -PN) , respectively (where PN is a bifunctional phosphine ligand), and the anion PF6 . Kinetic modeling of the fi reactions of six substrates with 1 and 3 generated rst- and second-order rate constants k1 and k2 (and k3 when applicable) that represent the rates of reaction for conversion of 1-alkene to (E)-2-alkene (k1), (E)-2-alkene to (E)-3-alkene (k2), and so on. The k1:k2 ratios were calculated to produce a measure of selectivity for each catalyst toward monoisomerization with each substrate. fi The k1:k2 values for 1 with the six substrates range from 32 to 132. The k1:k2 values for 3 are signi cantly more substrate- dependent, ranging from 192 to 62 000 for all of the substrates except 5-hexen-2-one, for which the k1:k2 value was only 4.7. Comparison of the ratios for 1 and 3 for each substrate shows a 6−12-fold greater selectivity using 3 on the three linear substrates as well as a >230-fold increase for 5-methylhex-1-ene and a 44-fold increase for a silyl-protected 4-penten-1-ol substrate, which are branched three and five atoms away from the alkene, respectively.

We studied the effect of the HPW loading on TiO2 (from 1.4 to 2.7 monolayers) on the dispersion and acid characteristics of the HPW clusters. When the concentration of the heteropoliacid is slightly higher than the monolayer (1.4 monolayers) the acidity of the clusters is perturbed by the surface of titania, while for concentration higher than 1.7 monolayers results in the formation of three-dimensional HPW nanocrystals with acidity similar to the bulk heteropolyacid. Physical hybridization of supported heteropolyacids with the Cu-ZnO(Al) catalyst modifies both the acid characteristics of the supported heteropolyacids and the copper surface area of the Cu-ZnO(Al) catalyst.

Soft Propargylic Deprotonation and Chiral 2,5- ABSTRACT: The asymmetric isomerization of alkyne to Dihydrofuran Synthesis allene is the most efficient and the completely atom- economic approach to this class of versatile axial chiral structure. However, the state-of-the-art is limited to tert- butyl alk-3-ynoate substrates that possess requisite acidic propargylic C−H bonds. Reported here is a strategy based on gold catalysis that is enabled by a designed chiral bifunctional biphenyl-2-ylphosphine ligand. It permits isomerization of alkynes with nonacidic α-C−H bonds and hence offers a much-needed general solution. With chiral propargylic alcohols as substrates, 2,5-disubstituted 2,5-dihydrofurans are formed in one step in typically good yields and with good to excellent diastereoselectivities. With achiral substrates, 2,5-dihydrofurans are formed with good to excellent enantiomeric excesses. A novel center- chirality approach is developed to achieve a stereocontrol effect similar to an axial chirality in the designed chiral ligand. The mechanistic studies established that the precatalyst axial epimers are all converted into the catalytically active cationic gold catalyst owing to the fluxional axis of the latter. from https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacs.8b12833.
