Synthesis of acetic acid via methanol hydrocarboxylation with CO2 and H2.

ABSTRACT: Acetic acid is an important bulk chemical that is currently produced via methanol carbonylation using fossil based CO. Synthesis of acetic acid from the renewable and cheap CO2 is of great importance, but state of the art routes encounter difficulties, especially in reaction selectivity and activity. Here we report a route to produce acetic acid from CO2, methanol and H2. The reaction can be efficiently catalysed by Ru-Rh bimetallic catalyst using imidazole as the ligand and LiI as the promoter in 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone (DMI) solvent. It is confirmed that methanol is hydrocarboxylated into acetic acid by CO2 and H2, which accounts for the outstanding reaction results. The reaction mechanism is proposed based on the control experiments. The strategy opens a new way for acetic acid production and CO2 transformation, and represents a significant progress in synthetic chemistry.

Synthesis of higher carboxylic acids from ethers, CO2 and H2.

Project description:Synthesis of higher carboxylic acids using CO2 and H2 is of great importance, because CO2 is an attractive renewable C1 resource and H2 is a cheap and clean reductant. Herein we report a route to produce higher carboxylic acids via reaction of ethers with CO2 and H2. We show that the reaction can be efficiently catalyzed by an IrI4 catalyst with LiI as promoter at 170?°C, 5?MPa of CO2 and 2?MPa of H2. The catalytic system applies to various ether substrates. The mechanistic study indicates that the ethers are converted to olefins, which are further transformed into alkyl iodides. The higher carboxylic acids are produced by carbonylation of alkyl iodides with CO generated in situ via RWGS reaction. This report offers an alternative strategy of higher carboxylic acid synthesis and CO2 transformation.

Synthesis of ethanol from aryl methyl ether/lignin, CO2 and H2.

Project description:Currently, ethanol is produced via hydration of ethene or fermentation of foods. Lignin and CO2 are abundant, cheap and renewable feedstocks. Synthesis of ethanol using the lignin or its derivatives is of great importance, but is a great challenge and has rarely been reported. Herein, we propose a route to synthesize ethanol from CO2, H2, and lignin or various aryl methyl ethers, which can be derived from lignin. The reaction could be effectively conducted using Ru-Co bimetallic catalyst and the TON of ethanol could reach 145. Interestingly, ethanol was the only liquid product when lignin was used. A series of control experiments indicate that ethanol was formed via cleavage of aryl ether bond, reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction, and C-C bond formation. This protocol opens a way to produce ethanol using abundant renewable resources.

Electrochemical β-Selective Hydrocarboxylation of Styrene Using CO2 and Water.

Project description:The carboxylation of hydrocarbons using CO2 as a one-carbon building block is an attractive route for the synthesis of carboxylic acids and their derivatives. Until now, chemical carboxylation catalyzed by organometallic nucleophiles and reductants has been generally adopted particularly for the precise selectivity control of carboxylation sites. As another approach, electrochemical carboxylation has been attempted but these carboxylation reactions are limited to only a few pathways. In the case of styrene, dicarboxylation at the α- and β-positions is mostly observed with electrochemical carboxylation while site-selective hydrocarboxylations are hardly achieved. In this study, electrochemical β-selective hydrocarboxylation of styrene using CO2 and water is developed, in which the site selectivity can be precisely controlled between β-hydrocarboxylation and dicarboxylation without the aid of homogeneous catalysts. In this platform, water is used as proton source in the β-hydrocarboxylation of styrene where its addition results in significant enhancement of the selectivity toward β-hydrocarboxylation. This work provides insights into new strategies for site-selectivity-controllable carboxylation with CO2 using an electrochemical platform.

Electrocatalytic Reduction of CO2 to Acetic Acid by a Molecular Manganese Corrole Complex.

Project description:The controlled electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to value added chemicals is an important strategy in terms of renewable energy technologies. Therefore, the development of efficient and stable catalysts in an aqueous environment is of great importance. In this context, we focused on synthesizing and studying a molecular MnIII -corrole complex, which is modified on the three meso-positions with polyethylene glycol moieties for direct and selective production of acetic acid from CO2 . Electrochemical reduction of MnIII leads to an electroactive MnII species, which binds CO2 and stabilizes the reduced intermediates. This catalyst allows to electrochemically reduce CO2 to acetic acid in a moderate acidic aqueous medium (pH 6) with a selectivity of 63 % and a turn over frequency (TOF) of 8.25 h-1 , when immobilized on a carbon paper (CP) electrode. In terms of high selectivity towards acetate, we propose the formation and reduction of an oxalate type intermediate, stabilized at the MnIII -corrole center.

Data on acetic acid-methanol-methyl acetate-water mixture analysised by dual packed column Gas Chromatography.

Project description:The composition of multicomponent determination by colorimetric titration is difficult. This complexity is easily overcome by using Gas Chromatography technique instead of wet method for multi-component mixture analysis. In Gas Chromatography, first the standard chart is prepared by using the known amount sample concentration as the reference. Once calibration chart is prepared the unknown sample concentration easily measured by using the standard chart. In the present study a standard calibration chart developed for the four component system of acetic acid-methanol-methyl acetate-water. The samples were taken at various concentrations of all components and different chromatograms obtained under various concentrations respectively. The method of optimization was first carried out to get the sharp peaks of individual components and binary pairs also. By using those conditions, the multi components concentrations were estimated. From the present results, the area under gas chromatogram is linearly varying with mole% of the components compared to mass%.

Acetic Acid Mediated Synthesis of Phosphonate-Substituted Titanium Oxo Clusters.

Project description:New phosphonate/acetate-substituted titanium oxo/alkoxo clusters were prepared from Ti(OiPr)4 and bis(trimethylsilyl) phosphonates in the presence of acetic acid, which served to generate water in situ through ester formation. The process led to clusters with a higher degree of condensation than in previously known phosphonate-substituted titanium oxo clusters. The clusters [Ti6O4(OiPr)10(OAc)2(O3PR)2] (OAc = acetate) were obtained for a large variety of functional and non-functional groups R under a range of reaction conditions. This cluster type, which is also retained in solution, therefore appears to be very robust. Two other clusters, [Ti5O(OiPr)11(OAc)(O3PCH2CH2CH2Br)3] and [Ti5O3(OiPr)6(OAc)4(O3P-xylyl)2], were only isolated in special cases.

Synthesis of imidazol-1-yl-acetic acid hydrochloride: a key intermediate for zoledronic acid.

Project description:A convenient and practical synthesis of imidazol-1-yl-acetic acid hydrochloride was achieved via N-alkylation of imidazole using tert-butyl chloroacetate followed by a non-aqueous ester cleavage of the resulting imidazol-1-yl-acetic acid tert-butyl ester in the presence of titanium tetrachloride. The synthesized imidazol-1-yl-acetic acid hydrochloride was then utilized to prepare zoledronic acid.
