Protein Tyrosine Nitration Induced by Heme/Hydrogen Peroxide: Inhibitory Effect of Hydroxycinnamoyl Conjugates
2006
The present study was designed to optimize the experimental conditions that govern the heme-catalyzed nitration of protein tyrosine residues by nitrite, and, within this framework, to study the effects of 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid and its methyl ester, both of which have been previously reported to be antioxidants and inhibitors of leukocyte functions. Although the presence of hydrogen peroxide is essential in cell-free systems, an excess of this compound was found to be detrimental, so much so that an increase in hemin concentration actually resulted in an inverse effect on the reaction, depending on the levels of fixed hydrogen peroxide. Unlike previous reports on nitrite-induced albumin …
2-(Naphthalen-1-ylamino)cyclohexanol
2011
The title compound, C16H19NO, was synthesized under solvent-free conditions by reaction of 7-oxa-bicyclo[4.1.0]heptane and naphthalen-1-amine in the presence of Ca(CF3COO)2 as catalyst. The cyclohexane ring adopts a chair conformation. In the crystal, molecules are linked by intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions into chains parallel to the c axis.
Hydrocracking ofn-heptane. Study of NiO-MoO3catalysts supported on a HY ultrastable zeolite
1986
The hydrocracking of n-heptane in the temperature range of 573 to 623 K and at 2.45 × 106 Pa pressure has been employed as a test reaction for the study of Ni—Mo bifunctional catalysts supported on a HY ultrastable zeolite. Two groups of catalysts containing 8 and 12 wt% of MoO3 and different amounts of NiO have been studied. In both series a maximum in the activity has been obtained for catalysts with a Ni/Mo atomic ratio of 0.8-1.0. The order of the impregnation of the oxides can have little influence on the activity. The most active catalyst has been obtained when the zeolite is exchanged with NH+4 ions until the Na+ level is less than 2% of the original and calcined at 823 K to obtain a…
The role of pore topology on the behaviour of FCC zeolite additives
1999
Abstract A large variety of zeolite topologies including: large pore tridirectional (Beta), large pore unidirectional (Mordenite, SSZ-24), bidirectional 10 member ring pores (MRP) (ZSM-5), bidirectional 10 × 8 MRP (Ferrierite), tridirectional with connected 12 and 10 MRP (CIT-1), bidirectional with 12 MRP connected by 10 MRP (NU-87), tridirectional with 10 × 11 × 12 MRP (NU-86), and finally 10 MRP, and independent 12 MR cavities connected by 10 MR windows (MCM-22), have been studied as catalysts for the cracking of a gasoline range model molecule ( n -heptane). Kinetic and decay constants as well as selectivity parameters such as paraffin/olefin, i -C 4 / n -C 4 , i -C 5 / n -C 5 , C 3 /C 4…
Catalytic activity of large-pore high Si/Al zeolites: Cracking of heptane on H-Beta and dealuminated HY zeolites
1987
Abstract The catalytic activity, selectivity, catalyst decay, thermal and hydrothermal stability, and acidity of H-Beta and HY zeolites with Si Al ratios of 7.5 and 10, respectively, have been studied during cracking of n-heptane at 450 °C and atmospheric pressure. It has been found that the H-Beta zeolite is more active and decays more slowly than HY. H-Beta presents a higher steric hindrance for dibranched molecules and therefore its open structure should be smaller than that of HY. A lower hydrogen transfer activity and hydrothermal stability is observed for H-Beta in comparison with the corresponding HY.
Hydrocracking ofn-heptane with a NiO-MoO3/HYUS zeolite as catalyst. Kinetic study
1988
The hydrocracking of n-heptane has been carried out in a fixed bed reactor at 2.45 MPa pressure and with a H2/n-heptane molar ratio of 5.0 using a 4 wt% NiO - 8 wt% MO3/HYUS zeolite as a catalyst. The W/F10 ratio was varied between 75.3 and 1624 kg · s/kmol at different reaction temperatures: 573, 588, 603 and 623 K. The kinetics of the reaction has been studied by two different procedures due to the slight deactivation of the catalyst. One of them uses the conversion and yield values extrapolated at time on stream to zero and the other uses a kinetic equation where the deactivation of the catalyst has been included. The experimental data were fit well by a pseudo-first order kinetic equati…
Selective photocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-furandicarboxaldehyde by polymeric carbon nitride-hydrogen peroxide adduct
2018
Abstract Polymeric carbon nitride-hydrogen peroxide adduct (PCN-H2O2) has been prepared, thoroughly characterised and its application for selective photocatalytic conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxaldehyde (FDC) in aqueous suspension has been studied. The PCN-H2O2 adduct is stable in aqueous suspension under UV and solar irradiation up to 100 °C. It is also stable up to 200 °C if heated in air, while at temperatures close to 300 °C its decomposition takes place. Based on the obtained characterisation data it has been proposed that H2O2 attaches to the non-polymerised carbon nitride species and to the heptazine nitrogen atoms, thus producing strong hydrogen bond…
Kinetic Aspects of Heterogeneous Catalytic Versus Photocatalytic Reactions
2019
Abstract Kinetics aspects of heterogeneous catalysis and photocatalysis are reported together with the most used models developed for both fields. The chapter describes the main mechanisms involved in the different processes and the parameters used to determine their performances. A comparison of the behaviors and kinetics features of heterogeneous catalysis and photocatalysis is presented.
Cross-Linked Polyamine from Imidazolium-Based Materials: A Simple Route to Useful Catalytic Materials
2018
Cross-linked polyamine-based materials were easily prepared by reduction of the corresponding cross-linked imidazolium-based materials with sodium borohydride in hot ethanol. Overall, the synthetic procedure is based on the polymerization of a suitable bis-vinylimidazolium salt with or without a suitable support, such as silica or silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles (γ-Fe2O3@SiO2), followed by reduction. This simple approach allows the synthesis of materials based on a network of secondary and tertiary amines. Materials were characterized by13C cross-polarization magic angle spinning NMR (13C CPMAS NMR), proton spin-lattice relaxation times in the rotating frame (T1ÏH) and thermogravimet…
Thiazolium-‐based catalysts for the etherification of benzylic alcohols under solvent-free conditions
2015
In this work, thiazolium and imidazolium hybrid materials (SBA-15-Thia and SBA-15-Imi) were prepared by grafting the bis-vinylthiazolium or imidazolium salts onto thiol functionalized SBA-15 mesostructured silica. The catalytic activity was tested for the etherification of 1-phenylethanol, in heterogeneous conditions. The reactions were performed under different gas phases and reaction times. The SBA-15-Thia displayed an excellent catalytic performance, also with others benzyl alcohols. This material was successfully used in seven consecutive runs. Further studies were carried out in homogenous conditions. The results obtained allow proving that oxygen play an active role in the reaction pr…
