Abstract:
Methods for monitoring ionic liquids using vibrational spectroscopy may involve contacting an infrared (IR) transmissive medium with the ionic liquid, recording an IR spectrum of the ionic liquid, and quantifying at least one chemical characteristic of the ionic liquid based on the IR spectrum. The IR spectrum may be recorded ex situ or in situ. Methods for controlling ionic liquid catalyzed processes are also disclosed, wherein a condition of the ionic liquid may be determined during such processes based on IR spectral analysis of the ionic liquid.

Abstract:
The objective is to incarcerate a Lewis acid metal in a polymer and to make this catalyst recoverable while maintaining its function as a Lewis acid metal catalyst. The present invention is a polymer-incarcerated Lewis acid metal catalyst in which a Lewis acid metal is incarcerated in a crosslinked polymer and the crosslinked polymer is crosslinked using the crosslinking groups contained in a crosslinkable polymer. The polymer incarcerated Lewis acid metal catalyst is characterized by the crosslinkable polymer containing at least one type of monomer unit containing hydrophobic substituents and hydrophilic substituents containing crosslinking groups, and the hydrophobic substituents contain aromatic substituents. This crosslinkable polymer preferably comprises at least one type of monomer unit containing hydrophobic substituents and hydrophilic substituents containing crosslinking groups and a monomer unit containing hydrophobic substituents. This catalyst can be obtained by subjecting a polymer micelle incarcerated Lewis acid metal obtained by mixing an organic solution containing a crosslinkable polymer and a Lewis acid metal with a bad solvent to a crosslinking reaction. This catalyst is useful as a catalyst in aldol reactions, cyanolation reactions, allylation reactions, Michael reactions, Mannich reactions, Diels Alder reactions and Friedel Crafts reactions.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method of liquid-phase reaction using a soluble metallic catalyst in which the soluble metallic catalyst is caused to coexist with an anion-exchange resin during the reaction and the reaction is conducted under such conditions that 50% or more of the soluble metallic catalyst is adsorbed onto the anion-exchange resin. The anion-exchange resin having the soluble metallic catalyst adsorbed thereon is separated from the liquid reaction mixture to thereby recover the soluble metallic catalyst and reuse it in a liquid-phase reaction. The soluble metallic catalyst is efficiently used, recovered, and reused with great ease at low cost in various liquid-phase reactions using the soluble metallic catalyst.
Abstract:
Method for separating reaction product from imide compound catalyst represented by Formula (1) or derivative thereof in reaction mixture obtained by reaction in presence of imide compound catalyst: wherein R1 and R2 are each, for example, a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, where R1 and R2 may be combined to form a double bond, an aromatic ring, or a non-aromatic ring, and X is an oxygen atom or a hydroxyl group. The method includes an extraction process using two organic solvents separable from each other to thereby separate the reaction product into one organic solvent layer and the imide compound catalyst component into the other organic solvent layer. The disclosed method efficiently and simply separates the reaction product from the catalyst component.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the refunctionalisation of chemically inert, thermally pre-treated metal oxides having an increased number of co-reactive groups on the oxide surface, without producing by-products which have a deactivating effect on catalytic components. The invention furthermore relates to the use of the refunctionalised metal oxides as catalyst supports for the polymerisation of olefins.
