Net Heat of Combustion of AN-F-28 Aviation Gasolines

Experimental data on the heats of combustion and hydrogen contents of a number of aviation gasolines have been used in deriving a formula for computing net heat of combustion from (measured) gross heat of combustion. This formula appears to be sufficiently reliable for the purpose and has the advantage of making hydrogen determinations unnecessary. The data on heats of combustion are presented in tabular form, and in graphs showing the relation between net heat of combustion and (1) hydrogen content, (2) aniline point, (3) APO gravity, and (4) the product of aniline point and APO gravity. Data are given on the change in aniline point with time, and also the change resulting from the addition of xylidine.

Production of Biomass–Derived p –Hydroxybenzamide: Synthesis of p –Aminophenol and Paracetamol

As we work to transition the modern society that is based on non-renewable chemical feedstocks to a post-modern society built around renewable sources of energy, fuels, and chemicals, there is a need to identify the renewable resources and processes for converting them to platform chemicals. Herein, we explore a strategy for utilizing the p-hydroxybenzoate in biomass feedstocks (e.g., poplar and palm trees) and converting it into a portfolio of commodity chemicals. The targeted bio-derived product in the first processing stage is p-hydroxybenzamide produced from p-hydroxybenzoate esters found in the plant. In the second stage a continuous reaction process converts the p-hydroxybenzamide to p-aminophenol via the Hofmann rearrangement and recovers the unreacted p-hydroxybenzamide. In the third stage the p-aminophenol can be acetylated to form paracetamol, which is readily isolated by liquid/liquid extraction at >95 % purity and an overall p-hydroxybenzamide-to-paracetamol process yield of ~90 %. We explore how utilization of protecting groups alters the challenges in this process and expands the portfolio of possible products to include p-(methoxymethoxy)aniline and N-acetyl-p-(methoxymethoxy)aniline. These target compounds could become value-added renewably-sourced platform chemicals that could be used to produce biodegradable plastics, pigments, and pharmaceuticals.

Coordination-Induced Weakening of N–H Bonds Driven by Bimetallic Cooperativity in Zr/Co Compounds

The bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) of the element-hydrogen bonds of protic substrates have been found to decrease upon metal coordination. Herein, an early/late heterobimetallic complex is used to examine the impact on the BDFE N−H when the substrate binding site and the redox-active site are two different metals that are spatially separated. A tris- (phosphinoamide) framework is used to link a d 0 ZrIV center with an accessible substrate binding site to a coordinatively saturated redox-active Co center, which serves as an appended electron reservoir. A series of aniline, amido, and imido Zr/Co model compounds were synthesized starting from the Zr IV /Co −I aniline adduct PhH 2 N−Zr(MesNP i Pr 2 ) 3 CoCN t Bu (2). 2,4,6-tristert- butylphenoxyl radical ( t Bu 3 ArO • ) was used to abstract one or two H atoms and produce the amido and imido complexes PhHNZr( MesNP i Pr 2 ) 3 CoCN t Bu (3) and PhN≡Zr(MesNP i Pr 2 ) 3 CoCNtBu (4), respectively. Using open-circuit potential measurements, the BDFE N−H within 2 and 3 were determined to be 37 kcal/mol (2) and 55 kcal/mol (3). Cyclic voltammetry measurements were conducted to determine the Co I/0 and Co 0/−I redox potentials. The pK a s were then estimated using the Bordwell equation to provide further insight into the thermochemical aspects of the observed proton coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions.

Coupling dinitrogen and hydrocarbons through aryl migration

A persistent challenge in chemistry is to activate abundant molecules such as hydrocarbons and atmospheric N 2 , because these compounds are often inert. In particular, forming C–N bonds from N 2 typically requires a reactive organic precursor, which limits the ability to design catalytic cycles. In this article, we report an diketiminate-supported iron system that is able to sequentially activate benzene and N 2 , forming aniline derivatives. The key to this new coupling reaction is the partial silylation of a reduced iron-N 2 complex, which is followed by migratory insertion of a benzene-derived phenyl group to the nitrogen. Further reduction releases the nitrogen products, and the iron product can re-enter the resulting cyclic pathway. Using a mixture of sodium powder, crown ether, and trimethylsilyl bromide, an easily prepared diketiminate iron bromide complex can mediate the one-pot conversion of several petroleum-derived liquid compounds into the corresponding silylated aniline derivatives using N 2 as the nitrogen source. Numerous compounds along the cyclic pathway have been isolated and crystallographically characterized; their reactivity outlines the mechanism including the hydrocarbon activation step and the N 2 functionalization step. This new strategy incorporates nitrogen atoms from N 2 directly into abundant hydrocarbons.

The synthesis of conducting polymers for corrosion prevention

The formation of an electrically conducting form of polyaniline by the oxidative polymerization of aniline was studied. Optimum yield and conductivities were obtained by treating aniline in 2 molar hydrochloric acid at 0 to 5 C with ammonium persulfate in 1.15 mole ratio. The yield was 37.6 percent of theory and the conductivity of the product was 10.5 S/cm. This material was formulated into epoxy and acrylic coatings which were also electrically conductive.

Di(hydroxyphenyl)- 1,2,4-triazole monomers

The di(hydroxyphenyl)- 1,2,4-triazole monomers were first synthesized by reacting bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) hydrazide with aniline hydrochloride at 250 C in the melt and also by reacting 1,3 or 1,4-bis- (4-hydroxyphenyl)- phenylene- dihydrazide with 2 moles of aniline hydrochloride in the melt. Purification of the di(hydroxyphenyl)- 1,2,4-triazole monomers was accomplished by recrystallization. Poly (1,2,4-triazoles) (PT) were prepared by the aromatic nucleophilic displacement reaction of di(hydroxyphenyl)- 1,2,4-triazole monomers with activated aromatic dihalides or activated aromatic dinitro compounds. The reactions were carried out in polar aprotic solvents such as sulfolane or diphenylsulfone using alkali metal bases such as potassium carbonate at elevated temperatures under nitrogen. This synthetic route has provided high molecular weight PT of new chemical structure, is economically and synthetically more favorable than other routes, and allows for facile chemical structure variation due to the availability of a large variety of activated aromatic dihalides.

Three-Dimensional Polybenzobisoxazoles and Polybenzobisthiazoles

Due to the poor compressive strength properties of high performance liquid crystalline polymers such as polybenzobisoxazoles (PBOs) and polybenzobisthiazoles (PBTs), we have prepared homopolymers and copolymers with PBO and PBT pendant groups on a central star-like unit, 2.7-diamino-9,9'-bis(4-aminophenyl)fluorene, in order to improve upon their compressive strength properties. The fluorene moiety was prepared by the reaction of 2,7-dinitro-9-fluorene with aniline and aniline hydrochloride, followed by reduction with palladium on carbon. The central star-like unit was characterized by FTIR, FTNMR, and elemental analysis. The PBO and PBT pendant groups were synthesized by the polycondensation of 4,6-diaminoresorcinol dihydrochloride with terephthaloyl chloride and 2,5-diamino-1,4-benzendithiol dihydrochloride with terephthaloyl chloride in poly(phosphoric acid), respectively. The resulting linear polymers containing the dicarboxylic end groups were attached to the central star-like unit by refluxing with 2,7-diamino-9,9'-bis(4-aminophenyl) fluorene to give the star-like polymers. The star-like PBO and PBT were soluble in methanesulfonic acid. Further characterization of the polymers is ongoing.

Shadowgraph Study of Gradient Driven Fluctuations

A fluid or fluid mixture, subjected to a vertical temperature and/or concentration gradient in a gravitational field, exhibits greatly enhanced light scattering at small angles. This effect is caused by coupling between the vertical velocity fluctuations due to thermal energy and the vertically varying refractive index. Physically, small upward or downward moving regions will be displaced into fluid having a refractive index different from that of the moving region, thus giving rise to the enhanced scattering. The scattered intensity is predicted to vary with scattering wave vector q, as q(sup -4), for sufficiently large q, but the divergence is quenched by gravity at small q. In the absence of gravity, the long wavelength fluctuations responsible for the enhanced scattering are predicted to grow until limited by the sample dimensions. It is thus of interest to measure the mean-squared amplitude of such fluctuations in the microgravity environment for comparison with existing theory and ground based measurements. The relevant wave vectors are extremely small, making traditional low-angle light scattering difficult or impossible because of stray elastically scattered light generated by optical surfaces. An alternative technique is offered by the shadowgraph method, which is normally used to visualize fluid flows, but which can also serve as a quantitative tool to measure fluctuations. A somewhat novel shadowgraph apparatus and the necessary data analysis methods will be described. The apparatus uses a spatially coherent, but temporally incoherent, light source consisting of a super-luminescent diode coupled to a single-mode optical fiber in order to achieve extremely high spatial resolution, while avoiding effects caused by interference of light reflected from the various optical surfaces that are present when using laser sources. Results obtained for a critical mixture of aniline and cyclohexane subjected to a vertical temperature gradient will be presented. The sample was confined between two horizontal parallel sapphire plates with a vertical spacing of 1 mm. The temperatures of the sapphire plates were controlled by independent circulating water loops that used Peltier devices to add or remove heat from the room air as required. For a mixture with a temperature gradient, two effects are involved in generating the vertical refractive index gradient, namely thermal expansion and the Soret effect, which generates a concentration gradient in response to the applied temperature gradient. For the aniline/cyclohexane system, the denser component (aniline) migrates toward the colder surface. Consequently, when heating from above, both effects result in the sample density decreasing with altitude and are stabilizing in the sense that no convective motion occurs regardless of the magnitude of the applied temperature gradient. The Soret effect is strong near a binary liquid critical point, and thus the dominant effect is due to the induced concentration gradient. The results clearly show the divergence at low q and the predicted gravitational quenching. Results obtained for different applied temperature gradients at varying temperature differences from the critical temperature, clearly demonstrate the predicted divergence of the thermal diffusion ratio. Thus, the more closely the critical point is approached, the smaller becomes the temperature gradient required to generate the same signal. Two different methods have been used to generate pure concentration gradients. In the first, a sample cell was filled with a single fluid, ethylene glycol, and a denser miscible fluid, water, was added from below thus establishing a sharp interface to begin the experiment. As time went on the two fluids diffused into each other, and large amplitude fluctuations were clearly observed at low q. The effects of gravitational quenching were also evident. In the second method, the aniline/cyclohexane sample was used, and after applying a vertical temperature gradient for several hours, the top and bottom temperatures were set equal and the thermal gradient died on a time scale of seconds, leaving the Soret induced concentration gradient in place. Again, large-scale fluctuations were observed and died away slowly in amplitude as diffusion destroyed the initial concentration gradient.

Ignition Delay Experiments with Small-scale Rocket Engine at Simulated Altitude Conditions Using Various Fuels with Nitric Acid Oxidants / Dezso J. Ladanyi

Ignition delay determinations of several fuels with nitric oxidants were made at simulated altitude conditions utilizing a small-scale rocket engine of approximately 50 pounds thrust. Included in the fuels were aniline, hydrazine hydrate, furfuryl alcohol, furfuryl mercaptan, turpentine, and mixtures of triethylamine with mixed xylidines and diallyaniline. Red fuming, white fuming, and anhydrous nitric acids were used with and without additives. A diallylaniline - triethylamine mixture and a red fuming nitric acid analyzing 3.5 percent water and 16 percent NO2 by weight was found to have a wide temperature-pressure ignition range, yielding average delays from 13 milliseconds at 110 degrees F to 55 milliseconds at -95 degrees F regardless of the initial ambient pressure that ranged from sea-level pressure altitude of 94,000 feet.

Vapor transport growth of organic solids in microgravity and unit gravity: some comparisons and results to date

Thin films of an organic nonlinear optical (NLO) material, N, N-dimethyl-p-(2,2-dicyanovinyl) aniline (DCVA), have been grown in space and on the ground by physical vapor transport in an effusive ampoule arrangement. The thin film growth technique developed on the ground is a direct result of information gleaned from experiments in microgravity. This paper covers the results of our experimental investigations for establishing "ideal" terrestrial conditions for deposition of a DCVA film. The active control during the deposition process was exercised by three deposition variables: the material source temperature, the background pressure external to the growth ampoule and the substrate temperature. Successful growth occurred when the difference in temperature between the source material and the copper substrate was 14 degrees C and the background nitrogen pressure was such that the transport was either diffusive or convective. A qualitative diffusion limited boundary was estimated to occur at a pressure of approximately 20 torr. We have probed the DCVA thin films with visible-near infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy, polarized Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, differential interference contrast optical microscopy, and stylus profilometry.

Altered carbohydrate, lipid, and xenobiotic metabolism by liver from rats flown on Cosmos 1887

To determine the possible biochemical effects of prolonged weightlessness on liver function, samples of liver from rats that had flown aboard Cosmos 1887 were analyzed for protein, glycogen, and lipids as well as the activities of a number of key enzymes involved in metabolism of these compounds and xenobiotics. Among the parameters measured, the major differences were elevations in the glycogen content and hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase activities for the rats flown on Cosmos 1887 and decreases in the amount of microsomal cytochrome P-450 and the activities of aniline hydroxylase and ethylmorphine N-demethylase, cytochrome P-450-dependent enzymes. These results support the earlier finding of differences in these parameters and suggest that altered hepatic function could be important during spaceflight and/or the postflight recovery period.

Preparation of 2D Polyaniline/MoO 3– x Superlattice Nanosheets via Intercalation-Induced Morphological Transformation for Efficient Chemodynamic Therapy

Organic intercalation of layered nanomaterials is an attractive strategy to fabricate organic/inorganic superlattices for a wide range of promising applications. However, the synthesis of 2D organic/inorganic superlattice nanosheets remains a big challenge. In this work, the preparation of 2D polyaniline/MoO 3–x (PANI/MoO 3–x ) superlattice nanosheets via intercalation-induced morphological transformation from MoO 3 nanobelts, as efficient Fenton-like reagents for chemodynamic therapy (CDT), is reported. Micrometer-long MoO 3 nanobelts are co-intercalated with Na + /H 2 O followed by the guest exchange with aniline monomer for in situ polymerization to obtain PANI/MoO 3–x nanosheets. Intriguingly, the PANI intercalation can induce the morphological transformation from long MoO 3 nanobelts to 2D PANI/MoO 3–x nanosheets along with the partial reduction of Mo 6+ to Mo 5+ , and generation of rich oxygen vacancies. More importantly, thanks to the PANI intercalation-induced activation, the PANI/MoO 3–x nanosheets exhibit excellent Fenton-like catalytic activity for generation of hydroxyl radical (·OH) by decomposing H 2 O 2 compared with the MoO 3 nanobelts. It is speculated that the good conductivity of PANI can facilitate electron transport during the Fenton-like reaction, thereby enhancing the efficiency of CDT. Thus, the polyvinylpyrrolidone-modified PANI/MoO 3–x nanosheets can function as Fenton-like reagents for highly efficient CDT to kill cancer cells and eradicate tumors.

Iron Single‐Atom Catalyzed N‐Alkylation of Amines with Alcohols via Solvent‐Free Borrowing Hydrogen Strategy

Abstract Industrial hydrogenation is a pivotal process in chemical synthesis. However, it has significant drawbacks, including high cost, safety risks associated with the use of molecular hydrogen gas, and substantial energy demands due to the need for elevated temperatures and pressures to achieve satisfactory yields. The borrowing hydrogen synthesis, which enables the transfer of hydrogen between molecules, offers a promising approach for green, one‐pot synthesis of industrially important chemicals and intermediates. Despite its potential, the broad application remains limited due to the reliance on toxic solvents, expensive noble metal catalysts, and the still restricted efficiency and substrate scope. In this study, the first solvent‐free strategy for theN‐alkylation of amines with alcohols is presented, employing an N‐doped graphene‐supported Fe single‐atom catalyst (Fe SA @N‐G; 1.06 wt.%). This approach achieves superior conversion and selectivity (up to 99%) along with record values for turnover number (TON, 1032.7) and turnover frequency (TOF, 413.1 h -1 ) for the coupling reaction of aniline with benzyl alcohol, surpassing all previously reported catalysts. DFT calculations, combined with experimental data, elucidated the reaction mechanism and identified the Fe 1 (III)‐N 4 active site participating in Fe‐H hydride transfer and containing two pyrrolic and two pyridinic nitrogens bound to the Fe center. The developed technology is further supported by the catalyst's excellent scalability, reusability, and performance under continuous‐flow conditions. Additionally, the exceptional efficiency of the single‐atom catalyst is demonstrated across more than 50 substrates, including reactions involving both aliphatic and aromatic amines with aliphatic and aromatic alcohols. The industrial applicability of this technology is validated through the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant compounds, including stimulant drugs, antihistamines, and pharmaceutical intermediates.

Photochemical CO 2 Reduction Using Rhenium(I) Tricarbonyl Complexes with Bipyridyl-Type Ligands with and without Second Coordination Sphere Effects

In this study, the effect of phenyl, phenol, aniline, amino, and CF 3 substituents of the 2,2'-bipyridine ligand in fac-ReCl(L)(CO) 3 (L=2,2'-bipyridine derivative) catalysts on photochemical CO 2 reduction in dimethylacetamide is examined, in order to understand the structure-function relationships and to compare the catalytic activities with the previously published electrochemical results. All complexes including ReCl(bpy)(CO) 3 have similar excited-state lifetimes and emission spectra, but complex 1 with the Ph-NH 2 moiety exhibits a significantly larger molar absorption coefficient for its metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) band. All complexes we tested produce CO with only a negligible amount of H 2 and formate in self-sensitized systems in the presence of triethanolamine (TEOA) and in some cases, BIH (1,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]-imidazole). The presence of the Ph-NH 2 moiety (complex 1) has a beneficial effect on both electrochemical and photochemical activity, allowing a turnover number (TON) of 32 and 120 for photochemical CO production (without and with BIH, respectively). In the case of the Ph-OH group in the second coordination sphere (complexes 4 and 6), these complexes are active for photochemical CO 2 reduction, despite the formation of a stable 6-coordinate Re-OPh intermediate via reductive deprotonation as previously observed under electrochemical conditions. Overall, BIH accelerates the rate of formation of the one-electron reduced species (OERS) of the Re catalysts and allows higher turnover frequency (TOF) and TON for CO formation. The X-ray structures of complexes 1 and 4 were determined to have distorted octahedral Re centres, and show π-π stacking interactions with neighboring molecules as well as intramolecular hydrogen bonds to the internal chloride ligands. The unusually high absorptivity of the MLCT absorption of complex 1 has been explained by TD-DFT calculations.

Amphiphilic Peptoid–Directed Assembly of Oligoanilines into Highly Crystalline Conducting Nanotubes

It is reported herein the synthesis of a novel amphiphilic diblock peptoid bearing a terminal conjugated oligoaniline and its self-assembly into small-diameter (D ≈ 35 nm) crystalline nanotubes with high aspect ratios (>30). It is shown that both tetraaniline (TANI)-peptoid and bianiline (BANI)-peptoid triblock molecules self-assemble in solution to form rugged highly crystalline nanotubes that are very stable to protonic acid doping and de-doping processes. The similarity of the crystalline tubular structure of the nanotube assemblies revealed by electron microscopy imaging, and X-ray diffraction analysis of the nanotube assemblies of TANI-functionalized peptoids and nonfunctionalized peptoids showed that the peptoid is an efficient ordered structure directing motif for conjugated oligomers. Films of doped TANI-peptoid nanotubes has a dc conductivity of ca. 95 mS cm –1 , while the thin films of doped un-assembled TANI-peptoids show a factor of 5.6 lower conductivity, demonstrating impact of the favorable crystalline ordering of the assemblies on electrical transport. Furthermore, these results demonstrate that peptoid-directed supramolecular assembly of tethered π-conjugated oligo(aniline) exemplify a novel general strategy for creating rugged ordered and complex nanostructures that have useful electronic and optoelectronic properties.
