Direct electrochemical oxidation of alcohols with hydrogen evolution in continuous-flow reactor.

ABSTRACT: Alcohol oxidation reactions are widely used for the preparation of aldehydes and ketones. The electrolysis of alcohols to carbonyl compounds have been underutilized owing to low efficiency. Herein, we report an electrochemical oxidation of various alcohols in a continuous-flow reactor without external oxidants, base or mediators. The robust electrochemical oxidation is performed for a variety of alcohols with good functional group tolerance, high efficiency and atom economy, whereas mechanistic studies support the benzylic radical intermediate formation and hydrogen evolution. The electrochemical oxidation proves viable on diols with excellent levels of selectivity for the benzylic position.

Honeycomb reactor: a promising device for streamlining aerobic oxidation under continuous-flow conditions

Project description:We report on the high potential of a honeycomb reactor for the use in aerobic oxidation under continuous-flow conditions. The honeycomb reactor is made of porous material with narrow channels separated by porous walls allowing for high density accumulation in the reactor. This structure raised the mixing efficiency of a gas–liquid reaction system, and it effectively accelerated the aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohols to benzaldehydes under continuous-flow conditions. This reactor is a promising device for streamlining aerobic oxidation with high process safety because it is a closed system.

Iridium-Catalyzed Dehydrogenation in a Continuous Flow Reactor for Practical On-Board Hydrogen Generation From Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers.

Project description:To enable the large-scale use of hydrogen fuel cells for mobility applications, convenient methods for on-board hydrogen storage and release are required. A promising approach is liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs), since these are safe, available on a large scale, and compatible with existing refueling infrastructure. Usually, LOHC dehydrogenation is carried out in batch-type reactors by transition metals and their complexes and suffers from slow H2 release kinetics and/or inability to reach high energy density by weight, owing to low conversion or the need to dilute the reaction mixture. In this study, a continuous flow reactor is used in combination with a heterogenized iridium pincer complex, which enables a tremendous increase in LOHC dehydrogenation rates. Thus, dehydrogenation of isopropanol is performed in a regime that, in terms of gravimetric energy density, hydrogen generation rate, and precious metal content, is potentially compatible with applications in a fuel-cell powered car.

Continuous Room-Temperature Hydrogen Release from Liquid Organic Carriers in a Photocatalytic Packed-Bed Flow Reactor.

Project description:Despite the potential of hydrogen (H2 ) storage in liquid organic carriers to achieve carbon neutrality, the energy required for H2 release and the cost of catalyst recycling have hindered its large-scale adoption. In response, a photo flow reactor packed with rhodium (Rh)/titania (TiO2 ) photocatalyst was reported for the continuous and selective acceptorless dehydrogenation of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline to H2 gas and quinoline under visible light irradiation at room temperature. The tradeoff between the reactor pressure drop and its photocatalytic surface area was resolved by selective in-situ photodeposition of Rh in the photo flow reactor post-packing on the outer surface of the TiO2 microparticles available to photon flux, thereby reducing the optimal Rh loading by 10 times compared to a batch reactor, while facilitating catalyst reuse and regeneration. An example of using quinoline as a hydrogen acceptor to lower the energy of the hydrogen production step was demonstrated via the water-gas shift reaction.

Continuous Catalytic Oxidation of Glycerol to Carboxylic Acids Using Nanosized Gold/Alumina Catalysts and a Liquid-Phase Flow Reactor.

Project description:Here, we report the development of catalysts comprising highly dispersed Au on an alumina (Al2O3) support for the oxidation of glycerol to high-value carboxylic acids in a liquid-phase flow reactor. The catalysts were prepared by means of a deposition-precipitation method. To ensure that the catalysts could be used for long-term catalytic conversions in a liquid-phase flow reactor, we chose an alumina support with high temperature stability and a particle size (50-200 μm) large enough to prevent leakage of the catalyst from the reactor. One of the five catalysts had a high catalytic activity for the conversion of glycerol to the high-value carboxylic acids, glyceric acid and tartronic acid (conversion of glycerol >70%), and the catalyst retained its catalytic activity over long-term use (up to 1770 min). Pretreatment of the catalyst with fructose, a mild reductant, increased the activity of the catalyst. Scanning transmission electron microscopy revealed three Au species highly dispersed on the surface of the alumina support-Au nanoparticles (mode = 7.5-10 nm), Au clusters (1-2 nm), and atomic Au.

Memory of chirality in a room temperature flow electrochemical reactor.

Project description:Chiral compounds have become of great interest to the pharmaceutical industry as they possess various biological activities. Concurrently, the concept of "memory of chirality" has been proven as a powerful tool in asymmetric synthesis, while flow chemistry has begun its rise as a new enabling technology to add to the ever increasing arsenal of techniques available to the modern day chemist. Here, we have employed a new simple electrochemical microreactor design to oxidise an L-proline derivative at room temperature in continuous flow. Compared to batch, organic electrosynthesis via microflow reactors are advantageous because they allow shorter reaction times, optimization and scale up, safer working environments, and high selectivities (e.g. reduce overoxidation). Flow electrochemical reactors also provide high surface-to-volume ratios and impart the possibility of excluding the supporting electrolyte due to a very short interelectrode distance. By the comparison of Hofer Moest type electrochemical oxidations at room temperature in batch and flow, we conclude that continuous flow electrolysis is superior to batch, producing a good yield (71%) and a higher enantiomeric excess (64%). These results show that continuous flow has the potential to act as a new enabling technology for asymmetric synthesis to replace some aspects of conventional batch electrochemical processes.

Heterogeneous metallaphotoredox catalysis in a continuous-flow packed-bed reactor.

Project description:Metallaphotoredox catalysis is a powerful and versatile synthetic platform that enables cross-couplings under mild conditions without the need for noble metals. Its growing adoption in drug discovery has translated into an increased interest in sustainable and scalable reaction conditions. Here, we report a continuous-flow approach to metallaphotoredox catalysis using a heterogeneous catalyst that combines the function of a photo- and a nickel catalyst in a single material. The catalyst is embedded in a packed-bed reactor to combine reaction and (catalyst) separation in one step. The use of a packed bed simplifies the translation of optimized batch reaction conditions to continuous flow, as the only components present in the reaction mixture are the substrate and a base. The metallaphotoredox cross-coupling of sulfinates with aryl halides was used as a model system. The catalyst was shown to be stable, with a very low decrease of the yield (≈1% per day) during a continuous experiment over seven days, and to be effective for C-O arylations when carboxylic acids are used as nucleophile instead of sulfinates.

Electrochemical alcohols oxidation mediated by N-hydroxyphthalimide on nickel foam surface.

Project description:Alcohol to aldehyde conversion is a critical reaction in the industry. Herein, a new electrochemical method is introduced that converts 1 mmol of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones in the presence of N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI, 20 mol%) as a mediator; this conversion is achieved after 8.5 h at room temperature using a piece of Ni foam (1.0 cm2) and without adding an extra-base or a need for high temperature. Using this method, 10 mmol (1.08 g) of benzyl alcohol was also successfully oxidized to benzaldehyde (91%) without any by-products. This method was also used to oxidize other alcohols with high yield and selectivity. In the absence of a mediator, the surface of the nickel foam provided oxidation products at the lower yield. After the reaction was complete, nickel foam (anode) was characterized by a combination of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and spectroelectrochemistry, which pointed to the formation of nickel oxide on the surface of the electrode. On the other hand, using other electrodes such as Pt, Cu, Fe, and graphite resulted in a low yield for the alcohol to aldehyde conversion.

Direct Quantitation of SARS-CoV-2 Virus in Urban Ambient Air via a Continuous-Flow Electrochemical Bioassay.

Project description:Airborne SARS-CoV-2 virus surveillance faces challenges in complicated biomarker enrichment, interferences from various non-specific matters and extremely low viral load in the urban ambient air, leading to difficulties in detecting SARS-CoV-2 bioaerosols. This work reports a highly specific bioanalysis platform, with an exceptionally low limit-of-detection (≤1 copy m-3 ) and good analytical accordance with RT-qPCR, relying on surface-mediated electrochemical signaling and enzyme-assisted signal amplification, enabling gene and signal amplification for accurate identification and quantitation of low doses human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) and SARS-CoV-2 viruses in urban ambient air. This work provides a laboratory test using cultivated coronavirus to simulate the airborne spread of SARS-CoV-2, and validate that the platform could reliably detect airborne coronavirus and reveal the transmission characteristics. This bioassay conducts the quantitation of real-world HCoV-229E and SARS-CoV-2 in airborne particulate matters collected from road-side and residential areas in Bern and Zurich (Switzerland) and Wuhan (China), with resultant concentrations verified by RT-qPCR.

Simultaneous Removal of Nitrogen and Refractory Organics from a Biologically Treated Leachate by Pulse Electrochemical Oxidation in a Multi-channel Flow Reactor.

Project description:Electrochemical oxidation (EO) is often used in the advanced treatment of refractory wastewater. However, in a conventional EO process of direct-current (DC) power supply, oxide layers often form on the anodes, which not only hinder the oxidation reaction on them but also cause higher energy consumption. In this paper, a biologically treated leachate (BTL) of municipal solid waste (MSW) was comparably treated by EO with DC (DC-EO), monopulse (MP-EO), and double pulse (DP-EO) power source models in a home-made multi-channel flow reactor. The effects of process parameters of current density (I A), superficial liquid velocity (U L), pulse frequency (f P), duty ratio (R D), and so forth on the removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD) (RECOD), total organic carbon (TOC) (RETOC), and total nitrogen (TN) (RETN) were investigated simultaneously. Average energy consumption () and organic composition of the treated effluent of DC-EO and MP-EO were also compared comprehensively, and a new mechanism of MP-EO has been proposed accordingly. Under optimal conditions, 2 L of BTL was treated by MP-EO for 180 min, and the RECOD, RETOC, and RETN could reach as high as 80, 30, and 80%, respectively. Compared with DC-EO, the of MP-EO is reduced by 69.27%. Besides, the kinds of organic matter in the treated effluent of MP-EO are reduced from 53 in the BTL to 11, which is much less than in the DC-EO process of 29 kinds. Therefore, the MP-EO process exhibits excellent removal performance of organics and TN and economic prospects in the treatment of refractory organic wastewater.
