摘要:
Carbon-carbon double bonds are hydrogenated selectively in a compound containing a reducible, nitrogen-containing group if the hydrogenation is carried out in the presence of a ruthenium complex catalyst. Also disclosed are new ruthenium complexes for use in such selective hydrogenation.
摘要:
A process for the removal of impurities comprising amides from a solution comprising nitriles and the impurities. A reaction mixture is formed which includes the solution, a layered mineral comprising aluminum silicates having exchangeable alkaline or alkaline earth cations on the surfaces of the layers and an acid which has an acid strength sufficient to protonate the amides at amide protonation conditions, but in which the solubility of the salt of the acid and exchangeable cation at those conditions is such that the equilibrium of the protonation reaction is substantially in the direction of the amides remaining in a protonated form. The water content of the reaction mixture must be less than about 0.5 wt. % for substantially all of the reaction time. The reaction mixture is maintained for a sufficient time at the amide protonation conditions for protonation of the amides and exchange of the protonated amides and exchangeable cations to occur, the protonated amides adhering to the surfaces of the layers. Nitriles having a reduced content of impurities may then be separated from the reaction mixture. Effective means of separation are rotating drum vacuum filters, preferably two in series.

Organic esters, e.g., linear esters, including diesters, are prepared by carbonylating a monoolefin with carbon monoxide and an alcohol in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of a catalyst comprising cobalt, a tertiary amine base and ruthenium.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods and compositions for detecting, identifying and measuring the abundance of chemical nerve agents. Methods and compositions of the present invention are capable of providing selective detection of phosphorous based nerve agents, such as nerve agents that are esters of methyl phosphonic acid derivatives incorporating a moderately good leaving group at the phosphorus. Selectivity in the present invention is provided by a sensor composition having an alpha (α) effect nucleophile group that undergoes specific nucleophilic substitution and rearrangement reactions with phosphorus based nerve agents having a tetrahederal phosphorous bound to oxygen. The present invention includes embodiments employing a sensor composition further comprising a reporter group covalently linked to the alpha effect nucleophile group allowing rapid optical readout of nerve agent detection events, including direct visual readout and optical readout via spectroscopic analysis.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for producing tricarbonitriles corresponding to formula I 1 wherein n is an integer from 2 to 11 by forming an intermediate in the presence of a strong base in a first stage from an aliphatic null-null-dinitrile corresponding to formula II 2 wherein n is an integer from 3 to 12, and reacting the intermediate in a second stage to form a trinitrile corresponding to formula I by the addition of acrylonitrile.
摘要:
Processes for hydrocyanation of nonconjugated acyclic aliphatic monoolefins, monoolefins conjugated to an ester group, or monoolefins conjugated to a nitrile group which utilize a catalyst precursor composition comprising a bidentate phosphite ligand and zero-valent nickel preferably in the presence of a Lewis acid prompter. Catalyst precursor compositions are also disclosed.
