Usage

General Description

1,2-epoxy-2,4,4-trimethylpentane, also known as 3,3,5-trimethyl-1,2-oxepane, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C8H16O. It is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor and is highly flammable. The compound is primarily used as a reactive diluent in the production of epoxy resins, and as a solvent and additive in various industrial applications such as adhesives, coatings, and sealants. It is considered to be harmful if inhaled or ingested, and can cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Additionally, exposure to high levels of this chemical may result in central nervous system depression and respiratory distress. Therefore, proper safety precautions and handling procedures must be followed when working with 1,2-epoxy-2,4,4-trimethylpentane.

Epoxidation of olefins by molecular oxygen with clay-impregnated nickel catalysts

With the supported "clayniac" catalyst, in the presence of i- butyraldehyde as a sacrificial reducer, olefins are epoxidized in good yields by compressed air at room temperature, in a convenient procedure.

Green oxidation of alkenes in ionic liquid solvent by hydrogen peroxide over high performance Fe(III) Schiff base complexes immobilized on MCM-41

A series of Fe(III) Schiff base complexes immobilized on MCM-41 were prepared and characterized by various physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The complexes were used for oxidation of cyclohexene by 30% hydrogen peroxide in the presence and absence of ethylmethyl imidazolium chloride (EMIM) ionic liquid as solvent. The immobilized complexes proved to be effective catalysts and generally exhibited much higher catalytic performance than their homogeneous analogue. Catalytic performance of the complexes was also found to be closely related to the Schiff base ligands used. Additionally, ion liquid solvent efficiently improved all the catalytic performances. Finally, the reaction was extended to different alkenes using the heterogeneous complex 2-L4. Among all the alkenes, those containing π-electron-withdrawing groups and trans-orientations exhibited lower tendency for oxidation.
