Book The Selective Oxidation of Bioderived Molecules by Gold Catalysts

Download or read book The Selective Oxidation of Bioderived Molecules by Gold Catalysts written by Gemma Louise Brett and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The selective oxidations of the bioderived molecules, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol and glycerol, were investigated using gold based catalysts. These reactions were carried out in both low pressure glass reactors and high pressure autoclaves. The reaction conditions such as temperature and amount of base were investigated to order to achieve the optimum conditions. The gold based catalysts used were prepared by sol immobilisation and impregnation methods. The supports tested were activated carbon, titania, ceria and magnesium oxide. The ceria supported catalyst was demonstrated to be extremely selective for the oxidation of 1,2-propanediol in methanol in which methyl lactate is the desired product. The addition of palladium to the gold catalyst led to an increase in activity for all supports, however, in the case of the ceria supported catalyst a decrease in selectivity was observed. The use of a magnesium oxide support was found to be advantageous in the oxidation of 1,3-propanediol and model compounds 1,4-propanediol and butyrolactone. An increase in activity and selectivity to the desired products, dimethyl malonate and dimethyl succinate, was demonstrated when this catalyst support was used. The structure of the support was found to be Mg(OH)2 when the catalyst was prepared by sol immobilisation. When prepared by impregnation methods the support retained its periclase MgO structure but was found to be far less selective than the Mg(OH)2 support. The use of this support for the oxidation of glycerol was investigated. When gold is alloyed with platinum on this support it is possible to achieve high conversions of glycerol and good selectivities to glyceric acid in base free conditions.

Book Palladium Catalyzed Oxidation of Hydrocarbons

Download or read book Palladium Catalyzed Oxidation of Hydrocarbons written by P. Henry and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of organometallic chemistry has emerged over the last twenty-five years or so to become one of the most important areas of chemistry, and there are no signs of abatement in the intense current interest in the subject, particularly in terms of its proven and potential application in catalytic reactions involving hydrocarbons. The development of the organometallic/ catalysis area has resulted in no small way from many contributions from researchers investigating palladium systems. Even to the well-initiated, there seems a bewildering and diverse variety of organic reactions that are promoted by palladium(II) salts and complexes. Such homogeneous reactions include oxidative and nonoxidative coupling of substrates such as olefins, dienes, acetylenes, and aromatics; and various isomerization, disproportionation, hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, car bonylation and decarbonylation reactions, as well as reactions involving formation of bonds between carbon and halogen, nitrogen, sulfur, and silicon. The books by Peter M. Maitlis - The Organic Chemistry of Palladium, Volumes I, II, Academic Press, 1971 - serve to classify and identify the wide variety of reactions, and access to the vast literature is available through these volumes and more recent reviews, including those of J. Tsuji [Accounts Chem. Res. , 6, 8 (1973); Adv. in Organometal. , 17, 141 (1979)], R. F. Heck [Adv. in Catat. , 26, 323 (1977)], and ones by Henry [Accounts Chem.

Book Heterogeneous Gold and Palladium Based Catalysts for Solvent free Oxidation of Toluene

Download or read book Heterogeneous Gold and Palladium Based Catalysts for Solvent free Oxidation of Toluene written by Mohd Izham Bin Saiman and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catalyzed oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons with molecular oxygen has been studied for several decades. For example, toluene can be converted into oxidation products such as benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde, benzoic acid and benzyl benzoate. At present, the principal industrial production of benzoic acid via the oxidation of toluene involves the use of homogeneous cobalt catalysts in an air pressurized aqueous acetic acid mixture in the presence of Mn ions. However, the use of solvent causes difficulties in the separation of catalysts and products, equipment corrosion, and due to the environmental hazards associated with the use of liquid acids as solvent. Developing solvent free toluene oxidation having great activity has attracted special attention as a promising environmentally friendly reaction. Recently, gold based supported catalyst have been found to be highly effective oxidation catalyst where a number of important discoveries have been made such as in hydrogen peroxide synthesis and selective oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes. As a proof of concept for the following studies, oxidation of toluene and other aromatic hydrocarbons were carried out in round bottom flask with TBHP as oxidant. At mild condition (80 oC), it was evident that Au-Pd supported catalyst is capable of oxidising aromatics C-H bonds on toluene and derivatives and TBHP as oxidant also have been discovered well in this thesis. The catalyst preparation method was shown to be very important in the formation of active site catalysts. The sol-immobilisation catalyst with a narrow distribution of small particles, was more active than Au-Pd alloy having Au-core palladium shell with PdO dominance on the surface via impregnation catalyst. In addition to that, the choice of support is crucial and this study discovered carbon as a preferred support give enhance on performance activity of toluene. At the same time, the distribution of products can be altered with the choice of preparation methods and support. The synergistic effect of Au and Pd was confirmed by superior catalytic activity compared to monometallic catalyst. Investigations of reaction conditions such as reaction time, reusability, pre-treatment conditions, metal ratio, and mass of catalyst were fully investigated. It was found that the activity and selectivity of the catalyst was highly dependent on these variables. Reaction mechanism was proposed and it was based on catalytic evaluation data. Even though, the proposed mechanism was contradicted by the EPR data study, it was believed that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) was involved in the surface of catalyst and give effect of the catalytic activity. Overall, the oxidation of toluene was successfully studied by using Au-Pd supported catalyst and can not be denied that the importance of TBHP as oxidant involve in this process has been proven.

Book Palladium and Platinum Complexes for the Oxidation of Small Molecules

Download or read book Palladium and Platinum Complexes for the Oxidation of Small Molecules written by David Michael Pearson and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Palladium is a versatile metal used prominently in synthesis. The rapid growth of palladium oxidation chemistry in the past decade has spurred a number of new processes that allow for the selective oxidation of substrates under mild conditions. This growth, specifically in the field of aerobic alcohol oxidation, attracted our attention, with the hope that it would provide new catalysts for use in direct methanol fuel cells. Toward that goal we developed a new cationic palladium complex, [(neocuproine)Pd(OAc)]2[OTf]2, which shows unprecedented initial turnover frequencies for aerobic alcohol oxidation at room temperature. However, catalyst lifetimes are limited due to the generation of reactive partially reduced oxygen species that promote oxidation of the ligand and deactivation of the catalyst. The use of milder oxidant like benzoquinone extended catalyst lifetimes prompting a further exploration of the substrate scope. Oxidation of glycerol proceeds exclusively at the secondary alcohol to yield dihydroxyacetone. Other 1,2-diols also favors oxidation of the secondary alcohol. Methanol oxidation proceeds at a much slower rate, but yields methyl formate with selectivities greater than 90 %. The mechanism for this process was probed through the use of model studies and isotopic labels suggesting the transient generation and oxidation of methyl hemiformal. In a parallel effort toward the extension of catalyst lifetimes, a number of new oxidatively resistant ligands were synthesized and used toward the formation of palladium catalysts that exhibit extended catalyst lifetimes. Additional efforts have focused on the use of similar catalyst for the oxidative carbonylation of 1,2- and 1,3-diols to yield 5-membered and 6-membered cyclic carbonates in the presence of N-chlorosuccinimide, iodosylbenzene, or dichloroisocyanuric acid. Finally, a new platinum dimer containing a trimethylplatinum unit and bridging amides was synthesized and characterized. Its reactivity toward the reductive elimination of ethane of methanol derivatives was explored. Additional work with known platinum dimers suggests these species, upon addition of silver triflate, facilitates the C-H activation of a number of unactivated arenes and promotes the C-H functionalization of propargyl aryl ethers.
