Liquid coordination complexes: A new class of Lewis acids as safer alternatives to BF3 in synthesis of polyalphaolefins

Liquid coordination complexes (LCCs) are a new class of liquid Lewis acids, prepared by combining an excess of a metal halide (e.g. GaCl3) with a basic donor molecule (e.g. amides, amines or phosphines). LCCs were used to catalyse oligomerisation of 1-decene to polyalphaolefins (PAOs). Molecular weight distribution and physical properties of the produced oils were compliant with those required for low viscosity synthetic (Group IV) lubricant base oils. Kinematic viscosities at 100 °C of ca. 4 or 6 cSt were obtained, along with viscosity indexes above 120 and pour points below-57 °C. In industry, to achieve similar properties, BF3 gas is used as a catalyst. LCCs are proposed as a safer and economically attractive alternative to BF3 gas for the production of polyalphaolefins.

Synthesis of adamantane by ionic liquid-promoted isomerization of tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane and H2SO4-mediated hydroisomerization of pentacyclo[4.4.0.02,4.03,7.08,10]decane

Adamantane was synthesized by skeletal isomerization of endo- and exo-tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]-decanes in the presence of ionic liquid [Et3NH]+[Al2Cl7]?—CuSO4. A new method to synthesize adamantane in 75% yield by H2SO4-mediated hydroisomerization of its new precursor, pentacyclo[4.4.0.02,4.03,7.08,10]decane, was developed.

PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF M-SUBSTITUTED ALKYLTOLUENES BY ISOMERIZATION WITH IONIC LIQUIDS AS CATALYSTS

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of m-substituted alkyltoluenes of the formula (I) in which R1 is C1-C5-alkyl, wherein a p-substituted alkyltoluene of the formula (II) in which R1 has the meaning given under formula (I), is isomerized in the presence of ionic liquids to give an m-substituted alkyltoluene of the formula (I). The m-substituted alkyltoluenes obtainable according to the invention are starting compounds for the preparation of fragrances and aroma substances.
