Continuous flow preparation of iron oxide nanoparticles supported on porous silicates

A simple, innovative, and efficient continuous flow methodology for the direct preparation of supported nanoparticles on porous materials by using metal precursor solution flowing through heated packed-bed reactors containing the support material has been developed. The effects of the flow rate of the precursor solution, temperature, and nature of the support material and metal loading have been investigated. Results indicated that optimum conditions comprised short residence times (with typical flow rates of 0.5 mL min-1 and below) under mild heating (100 ?°C) to achieve optimum materials in terms of nanoparticle size and structure and catalytic activity. The support was found to have a remarkable effect on both loading and distribution and agglomeration of nanoparticles in the system, with a previously reported Fe/Al synergy also observed in the prepared nanomaterials, which led to optimum results.

No contest: A co-reactant deprived of reactivity

Whereas benzyl chloride is normally more reactive than benzyl alcohol toward aromatic hydrocarbons, at 20°C alkylation of toluene is totally inhibited in the presence of an equimolar mixture of the two benzylating agents and of a clay-based catalyst. At 80°C, all the alcohol molecules are first consumed. Then, and only then, at time T = 45 mn, the chloride molecules start their reaction.

Method for reducing carbonyl reduction to methylene under illumination

The invention belongs to the technical field of organic chemical synthesis. The method comprises the following steps: (1) mixing the carbonyl compound and the amine compound in a solvent, reacting 3 - 6 under the illumination of 380 - 456 nm, the reaction system is low in toxicity, high in atom utilization rate 12 - 24h. and production efficiency, safe and controllable in reaction process and capable of simplifying the operation in the preparation and production process. At the same time, the residue toxicity of the reaction is minimized, the pollution caused by the production process to the environment is reduced, and the steps and operations of removing residues after the reaction are simplified. In addition, the reactant feedstock is readily available. The reactant does not need additional modification before the reaction, can be directly used for preparing production, simplifies the operation steps, and shortens the reaction route. The production cost is obviously reduced.

Phosphonic acid mediated practical dehalogenation and benzylation with benzyl halides

For the first time, by using H3PO3/I2 system, various benzyl chlorides, bromides and iodides were dehalogenated successfully. In the presence of H3PO3, benzyl halides underwent electrophilic substitution reactions with electron-rich arenes, leading to a broad range of diarylmethanes in good yields. These transformations feature green, cheap reducing reagents and metal-free conditions. A possible mechanism was proposed.
