At present, the utilization of grease has attracted more and more attention. This article presents a simple method that efficiently cleaves methyl oleate-derived methyl 9,10-epoxystearate ( a ) to give high yields of methyl 9-oxononanoate ( d ) with nonanal ( c ) as co-product. A WO 3 /MCM-41 catalyst is prepared via direct mixed-gel synthesis. The catalyst is tested in the oxidative cleavage of a to produce d which can be used as a polymer precursor or an important feedstock. The effects of WO 3 loading, temperature, time, H 2 O 2 / a molar ratio, catalyst/ a weight ratio, and t -BuOH/ a weight ratio on the a conversion and d yield are examined using single-factor experiments. The optimal reaction conditions are determined by orthogonal experiments. The optimal WO 3 loading, temperature, time, H 2 O 2 / a molar ratio, catalyst/ a weight ratio, and t -BuOH/ a weight ratio are 35%, 80 °C, 20 min, 1.3, 0.04, and 0.5, respectively. Under these conditions, the a conversion and d yield reach 99.4 and 78.4%, respectively. In addition, the catalyst shows no significant decrease in activity after being reused three times. Moreover, the reaction mechanism is studied based on the product distribution over time. Practical Applications : Few studies on methyl 9,10-epoxystearate used as the raw material to give methyl 9-oxononanoate and nonanal are found. Because the ethylene oxide bond is more unstable than the carbon–carbon double bond, the oxidative cleavage of methyl 9,10-epoxystearate is easier than cleavage of methyl oleate that allows the oxidative cleavage to be done under milder conditions. Methyl 9-oxononanoate can be converted to a monomer of high-value polymers and is also an important feedstock in the production of chemicals. The co-product nonanal is a natural spice which can be used in the fragrance industry. The results show that the reaction time is short and methyl 9-oxononanoate yield is high under mild reaction conditions. The method in this study can also be widely used in other oxidative cleavage reactions of epoxides. Methyl 9,10-epoxystearate is used as the raw material to produce methyl 9-oxononanoate with nonanal as co-product using WO 3 /MCM-41 as catalyst and H 2 O 2 as oxidant.
A layered aluminophosphate |C14H11NO|2[Al4(HPO4)4F4(H2O)2] (denoted as SYSU-2) with a new topology has been hydrothermally synthesized with N-methyl-9-acridone (NMA) as the organic structure-directing agent. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that SYSU-2 crystallizes in a triclinic space group P, with the inorganic sheets stacked in an AA sequence. Hydrogen bonds are responsible for the neutral inorganic–organic layer connection. The layer structure of SYSU-2 is constructed by alternating AlO4F2 octahedra and PO4 tetrahedra. The topological analysis of SYSU-2 indicates an independent topology. The NMA layers are self-assembled with π–π interaction. SYSU-2 crystals show interesting dual-band emission fluorescence properties compared with NMA crystals. Under 406 nm UV irradiation, SYSU-2 crystals emit yellow light with two emission bands at 477 and 566 nm, while NMA crystals emit blue light with only one band at 473 nm. The differences may be derived from the difference of stacking orders and distance of NMA molecule layers between the two crystals.
The synthesis of organics 9-hydroxyphenalenone (HPO), 2-methyl-9-hydroxyphenalenone (MHPO), 6-hydroxybenz[de]anthracen-7-one (HBAO), 5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline (phen-NH 2 ) and its functionalized mesoporous MCM-41 by covalent band are reported, as well as those of Europium (III) hybrid mesoporous materials, EuL 3 phen-MCM-41 (L = HPO, MHPO, HBAO). The photoluminescence and microstructural properties are characterized, and the XRD and BET results revealed that all of these hybrid materials have uniformity in the mesostructure. It is worth noting that the excitation spectra of these hybrid materials have a broad absorption, which occupies from UV to visible region (250–475 nm). Upon ligand-mediated excitation with the visible light, the low efficient energy transfer exhibit between the organic ligands and europium(III) ion under visible excitation, but the maximum wavelength (456 nm/457 nm/451 nm) located at blue light region, which is in consistent with the blue LED light, then might be a feasible alternative in producing time-resolved luminescence under LED-excitation.
