General Description

2,6-Dimethyl-2-octene is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C10H20. It is a member of the class of octenes, which are unsaturated hydrocarbons containing a chain of eight carbon atoms with a double bond at the 2- and 6-positions and two methyl groups at the 2-position. It is a colorless liquid with a faint odor and is insoluble in water. 2,6-Dimethyl-2-octene is mainly used as a chemical intermediate in the production of various synthetic materials, such as plastics, resins, and rubber. It is also used in the manufacturing of fragrances and flavors due to its pleasant aroma. Additionally, 2,6-Dimethyl-2-octene can be used as a solvent in chemical reactions and as a component in fuel additives.

Taking advantage of a terpyridine ligand for the deposition of Pd nanoparticles onto a magnetic material for selective hydrogenation reactions

A hybrid terpyridine ligand was designed to functionalize a magnetic support constituted of magnetite cores surrounded by a silica shell with the aim of improving the stabilization of supported-palladium nanoparticles for the later application of the obtained composite nanomaterial in hydrogenation catalysis. The preparation of the nanomaterial was performed by direct decomposition of the organometallic complex [Pd2(dba)3] on the terpyridine-modified magnetic support providing well-dispersed Pd NPs of 2.5 ± 0.6 nm mean size. This new nanomaterial is a highly active catalyst for the hydrogenation of cyclohexene under mild conditions reaching turnover frequencies up to ca. 58000 h-1 or 129000 h-1 when corrected for surface Pd atoms. Furthermore, in the hydrogenation of β-myrcene, this nanocatalyst is highly selective for the formation of monohydrogenated compounds. When compared to a similar nanocatalyst consisting of palladium nanoparticles supported on an amino-modified magnetic support or on Pd/C, the activity and selectivity of the nanocatalyst are largely increased. These results show how the design of an appropriate hybrid ligand used to functionalize the support can strongly influence the catalytic properties of supported metal nanoparticles.

Electroreductive cyclisation of unsaturated halides catalysed by nickel macrocyclic complexes

The indirect electroreduction of unsaturated aliphatic halides using Ni(II) complexes as electron-transfer mediators is achieved in N,N'-dimethylformamide by constant current electrolysis between a cathode and a sacrificial anode in a diaphragmless cell. Cyclic compounds are obtained in low to high yields in conditions that avoid the usual preparation using organotin reagents.
