VOC's abatement: Photocatalytic oxidation of toluene in vapour phase on anatase TiO2 catalyst

1997

Publisher Summary The photocatalytic oxidation of toluene in the presence of water was performed in the gas–solid regime at room temperature by using TiO2. It has been found that the presence of water was beneficial to achieve the almost complete photo-oxidation of toluene to CO2 and H2O, in fact, only very small amounts of benzaldehyde vapor that is the main product of toluene partial oxidation, were detected. Volatile organic compounds, VOC's, are an important class of air pollutants usually found in the atmosphere of all urban and industrial areas. Toluene is one of these compounds, and because of its noxious nature several strategies have been identified to reduce its presence in indoor…

Reaktionen an Aluminiumoxiden. 3. Mitt.: Umsetzungen von Propanal und Benzaldehyd an Aluminiumoxid

1973

Die Umsetzungen von Propanal und Benzaldehyd an verschiedenen Aluminiumoxiden wurden bei unterschiedlichen Bedingungen untersucht. Die dabei entstandenen Stoffe wurden durch Vergleichssubstanzen mit Hilfe der DC und GC nachgewiesen. Reactions on Alumina Oxides The reactions of propanal and benzaldehyde on various alumina oxides were investigated under different conditions. The resulting products were identified by synthesized compounds and TLC and GLC.

Theoretical Analysis of the Electronic Spectra of Benzaldehyde

2001

The electronic spectrum of benzaldehyde has been studied by using multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory through the multistate extension (MS-CASPT2). The nπ* 11A‘ ‘ state, placed ve...

ChemInform Abstract: Enantioselective Synthesis of Herbertane Sesquiterpenes: Synthesis of (-)-α-Formylherbertenol.

2010

Abstract The synthesis of 4-hydroxy-3-[(1 S )-1,2,2-trimethylcyclopentyl]benzaldehyde [(−)-α-formylherbertenol 1 ], a herbertane-type sesquiterpene isolated from the leafy liverwort Herberta adunca , from β-cyclogeraniol is described. The synthesis is based on the previously described preparation of an enantiopure 1,2,2-trimethylcyclopentane synthon from which the characteristic aromatic moiety of 1 is elaborated, using a Robinson annulation and a palladium-catalysed methoxycarbonylation of an aryl triflate as key synthetic steps. The synthesis of the natural sesquiterpene (−)-α-herbertenol, also a natural sequiterpene, using the same methodology is also described.

Photocatalytic degradation of toluene in aqueous suspensions of polycrystalline TiO2 in the presence of the surfactant tetradecyldimethylamino-oxide

2000

The heterogeneous photocatalytic method has been used for carrying out the toluene oxidation in synthetic aqueous solutions containing also a zwitterionic surfactant, i.e. tetradecyldimethylamino-oxide (C 14 DMAO). A batch photoreactor with immersed lamp and two kinds of polycrystalline TiO 2 catalysts were used. The results indicate a substantial increase of the toluene degradation rate in the presence of the surfactant; the complete photo- oxidation of toluene was achieved in a few hours of irradiation at the used experimental conditions; at higher irradiation times also C 14 DMAO was completely degraded. The main intermediates of toluene degradation were p-cresol (4-methyiphenol) and ben…

o-(Hydroxyalkyl)phenyl P-Chirogenic Phosphines as Functional Chiral Lewis Bases

2013

The stereoselective synthesis of P-chirogenic phosphines bearing an o-hydroxyalkyl chelating arm is described. The synthesis is based either on the hydroxyalkylation of P-chirogenic o-bromophenylphosphines (borane) or on their carbonatation and then reduction. The hydroxyalkylation with benzaldehyde or pivalaldehyde affords a mixture of epimers which are isolated by chromatography and characterized by their X-ray structures. Preliminary assays of free P-chirogenic o-(hydroxyalkyl)phenyl phosphines, as new functional Lewis bases in catalyzed asymmetric aza-MBH reaction, lead to β-aminoester derivatives with ee values up to 74%.

ChemInform Abstract: Dialkylimidazolium Dimethyl Phosphates as Solvents and Catalysts for the Knoevenagel Condensation Reaction.

2014

Knoevenagel condensation between benzaldehyde and ethyl cyanoacetate in the presence of an equimolar amount of 1,3-dialkylimidazolium dimethyl phosphate ionic liquids is investigated.

1979

Oxidation of tertiary amines with N-chloronylon 66 (NCN) was investigated in several organic solvents. NCN was found to oxidize N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) at room temperature to give N-methylaniline with 15–50% yield, depending on the solvents used. Oxidation of N,N-dimethylbenzylamine (DMBA) gave benzaldehyde with 15–30% yield and a small amount of N-methylbenzylamine. A mechanism was discussed. For comparison, N-chlorosuccinimide, a low molecular N-chloro-compound, was also used for oxidation of DMA and DMBA.

Synthesis of Hydroquinoid C- and O-Biphenyl Disaccharides by Chromium-Templated Benzannulation Reactions

2003

Organometallic monosaccharides 6−10 containing a chromium styrylcarbene skeleton have been synthesized in quantitative yield from O-glycoside methylcarbene complexes 1−5 bearing diisopropylidene-protected glucose, mannose, galactose, or fructose in a trans-selective aldol condensation with benzaldehyde. These compounds undergo a chromium-templated benzannulation upon reaction with ethynyl glucoside to give diastereoisomeric mixtures of Cr(CO)3 complexes. The differences in their thermodynamic stability was exploited in a diastereoselective synthesis of hydroquinoid biphenyl disaccharides 12−16 in 67−88% yields. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Selective photocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural in aqueous suspension of polymeric carbon nitride and its adduct with H2O2 in a sola…

2018

Abstract This work reports a study on the reactivity of polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) and PCN-H2O2 adduct samples for sunlight photocatalytic selective oxidation reactions. The characterization of these materials was reported in a previous paper where the reactivity towards the partial oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was studied by using two different laboratory scale photoreactors; one irradiated by UV lamps and the other one by natural sunlight. In the present study it has been confirmed the effectiveness of these C3N4 based materials for the selective partial oxidation of HMF to FDC (2,5-furandicarboxaldehyde) in aqueous medium in a pilot plant photoreactor irradiated by natu…
