摘要:
The present invention relates to catalyst compositions comprising nanoparticles comprising one or more elements selected from a group 10 element, cocatalysts, catalyst promoters and organic molecules as organic stabilizing agents, in adequate porous supports. The invention also includes a particular mode of preparing the catalyst composition and the use of the catalyst in selective non-oxidative dehydrogenation of alkanes.

Described herein is the fusion of two families of unique carbon-containing molecules that readily disregard the tendency of carbon to form four chemical bonds, namely N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and carborane anions. Deprotonation of an anionic imidazolium salt with lithium diisopropylamide at room temperature leads to a mixture of lithium complexes of C-2 and C-5 dianionic NHC constitutional isomers as well as a trianionic (C-2, C-5) adduct. Judicious choice of the base and reaction conditions allows for the selective formation of all three stable polyanionic carbenes. In solution, the so-called abnormal C-5 NHC lithium complex slowly isomerizes to the normal C-2 NHC, and the process can be proton catalyzed by the addition of the anionic imidazolium salt. These results indicate that the combination of two unusual forms of carbon atoms can lead to unexpected chemical behavior, and that this strategy paves the way for the development of a broad new generation of NHC ligands for catalysis.

Provided is a method for preparing levulinic acid using a solid acid catalyst in the presence of an ethylene glycol-based compound. The levulinic acid according to the present invention can be prepared by using a linear or cyclic ethylene glycol-based compound as a solvent and preparing the levulinic acid from fructose in the presence of the solid acid catalyst at a reaction temperature of 100 to 200° C., thereby reducing the dependency on petroleum in response to greenhouse gas emission regulations. Also, a high yield of levulinic acid can be obtained from fructose, and the solvent and the catalyst can be efficiently separated, collected, and reused after the reaction has completed.

摘要:
Metal catalysts for use in known heterogeneous catalysis processes are prepared by vaporizing a metal in a low pressure environment in the vicinity of an organic liquid polymer, so that the metal contacts and becomes anchored to the polymer. The resulting products have the metal in the form of small clusters, anchored to the polymer, this form of the metal being the catalytically most active form. The organometal polymers are stable at temperatures in the -40.degree. C..fwdarw.+40.degree. C. range. Suitable polymers include poly (methyl-phenyl siloxanes) and poly (phenyl ethers). Suitable metals include titanium, chromium, molybdenum, etcetera.

A process for the dehydrogenation of alkyl-containing compounds comprises reacting an alkyl-containing compound and a Group VI nitrosyl complex characterized as a transition metal complex having the composition Cp′M(NO)(R1)(R2), wherein Cp′ is selected from certain substituted and unsubstituted η5-cyclopentadienyl groups; M is W or Mo; and R1 and R2 are independently selected from CH2C(CH3)3; CH2Si(CH3)3; CH2(C6H5); CH3; hydrogen; and η3-allyl; provided that if R1 is hydrogen, R2 is η3-allyl; under conditions such that the alkyl-containing compound is converted to an olefin, and in particular embodiments, a terminal olefin. The dehydrogenation can be carried out using a neat and/or undried alkyl-containing compound and/or may be conducted under air, and does not require a sacrificial olefin to drive the reaction, thereby increasing convenience and decreasing cost in comparison with some other dehydrogenation processes.
