The many simultaneous processes occurring within in a diesel engine make difficult a thorough understanding of the mechanisms responsible for reduction of soot and/or NOX when an oxygenated compound is added to diesel fuel. Thus, in order to explore the use of oxygenated compounds as biofuels/ad...

Dimethoxymethane (CH3OCH2OCH3, DMM) is the smallest oxymethylene ether and currently discussed as a promising alternative diesel fuel. For an adequate modeling of the DMM combustion chemistry, reliable kinetic parameters are needed. In the present work, shock-tube studies are presented on the ki...

This study investigated the conversion of furfural to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and further to levulinic acid/ester in dimethoxymethane under acidic conditions, with the particular focus on understanding the mechanism for polymer formation. The results showed that furfural could react with d...

In this work, the extractive distillation process is proposed for the first time to separate the 2-methoxyethanol/toluene mixture. Three configurations, including the conventional extractive distillation (CED), extractive distillation under reduced pressure (EDRP) and extractive dividing-wall co...

Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for binary systems of toluene + 2-methoxyethanol, 2-methoxyethanol + dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and toluene + DMSO were obtained by using a Fischer VLE 602 equipment at 101.3 kPa, as well as for the ternary system of toluene + 2-methoxyethanol + DMSO....

To progress the understanding of molecular interaction for the binaries of an IL, [Emim][triflate] with 2-methoxyethanol (ME) or N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), thermo acoustic and volumetric properties such as speeds of sound (u) and densities (ρ) were measured as a function of temperature between ...

For the first time, 2-methoxyethanol (C3H8O2) was used for producing pure hydrogen in a catalytic membrane reactor (CMR) via steam reforming (SR). The SR experiments were performed at 923 K and 1–10 bar using a mixture of 2-methoxyethanol (MEX) and water at S/C ratio of 3. Moreover, SR experime...

The ring opening polymerization reaction of tetrahydrofuran (thf) by WCl6 was investigated under different conditions, and the polymeric material was characterized by NMR and SEC (Size Exclusion Chromatography) analyses. The mixed valence complex [(thf)2(μ-H)][{WOCl3(thf)}2(μ-O)], 3, was isola...

Numerous health hazards arising from the exposure of 2-methoxyethanol (2-ME) and lack of best performing 2-ME sensors pushed us to develop a sensor that can sense 2-ME gas very efficiently. SnO2-Fe2O3 core-shell nanoparticles (CSNPs) were prepared using two step process, in first step core was p...

Non-aqueous amine-based absorbents are considered as a potential application for CO2 removal from biogas to reduce energy consumption, due to lower heat capacity and evaporation enthalpy of organics than conventional water solvent. In this work, monoethanolamine (MEA) + 2-methoxyethanol (EGME) m...

Though 2-methoxyethanol is very detrimental gas, it is widely used in many applications like solvents, emulsifiers, colorants, and stabilizers. To reduce the health hazards, it is very essential to develop a sensor to detect 2-methoxyethanol effectively. For this, we have prepared Y2O3-ZnO nanoc...

Mononuclear Cu(II), Ni(II) and V(IV) complexes of a bidentate Schiff base ligand derived from 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 2-methoxyethylamine were synthesized and determined by spectroscopic methods. The crystal structures of HL ligand and Cu(II) complex was determined using single crystal X-...

This report describes synthesis and evaluation of cationic complexes, [99mTc(CO)3(L)]+ (L = N-methoxyethyl-N,N-bis[2-(bis(3-ethoxypropyl)phosphino)ethyl]amine (L1), N-[(15-crown-5)-2-yl]-N,N-bis[2-(bis(3-ethoxypropyl)phosphino)ethyl]amine (L2) and N-[(18-crown-6)-2-yl]-N,N-bis[2-(bis(3-ethoxypro...

The microwave spectra of four substituted isotopic species of 2-methoxyethylamine (NH2, NHD, NDH, ND2) have been assigned. The molecule is found to exist in a gauche form with an intramolecular hydrogen bond of the NH⋯O type. The four possible sets of the amino hydrogen rs corrdinates give dif...

In a previous microwave investigation of 2-methoxyethylamine the spectrum of an internally hydrogen bonded conformer (G) was reported [W. Caminati and E. B. Wilson, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 81, 356–372 (1980)]. Now the rotational spectrum of a second internally hydrogen bonded conformer (T) has been ...

Three new aqua magnesium phthalocyaninato complexes with 2-methoxyethylamine (MEA) in crystalline form have been obtained. The composition of the complexes depends on the crystallisation temperature. (MgPcH2O)2 · MEA (I) and (MgPcH2O)2 · 2MEA (II) were formed at about 170 °C and 80 °C, respe...

The reaction of the β-diketone 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-pyridin-2-yl-butane-1,3-dione and the monosubstituted hydrazine 2-hydroxyethylhydrazine has been investigated. Two products have been identified, 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-pyridin-2-yl-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydropyrazole (P) and 2-(3-pyridin-2-yl-5-...

The effect of 2-hydroxyethylhydrazine on the phosphatidylethanolamine methylation pathway in yeast was studied. 2-Hydroxyethylhydrazine inhibited the growth of cells. The concentration required for 50% inhibition was 66 μM. The growth rate decreased by 2-hydroxyethylhydrazine was restored by th...
