Hydrogenative Depolymerization of End-of-Life Poly-(Bisphenol A Carbonate) Catalyzed by a Ruthenium-MACHO-Complex.

ABSTRACT: The valorization of waste to valuable chemicals can contribute to a more resource-efficient and circular chemistry. In this regard, the selective degradation of end-of-life polymers/plastics to produce useful chemical building blocks can be a promising target. We have investigated the hydrogenative depolymerization of end-of-life poly(bisphenol A carbonate). Applying catalytic amounts of the commercial available Ruthenium-MACHO-BH complex the end-of-life polycarbonate was converted to bisphenol A and methanol. Importantly, bisphenol A can be reprocessed for the manufacture of new poly-(bisphenol A carbonate) and methanol can be utilized as energy storage material.

Hydrogenative Depolymerization of End-of-Life Polycarbonates by an Iron Pincer Complex.

Project description:Chemical recycling processes can contribute to a resource-efficient plastic economy. Herein, a procedure for the iron-catalyzed hydrogenation of the carbonate function of end-of-life polycarbonates under simultaneous depolymerization is presented. The use of a straightforward iron pincer complex leads to high rate of depolymerization of poly(bisphenol A carbonate) and poly(propylene carbonate) yielding the monomers bisphenol A and 1,2-propanediol, respectively, as products under mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, the iron complex was able to depolymerize polycarbonates containing goods and mixture of plastics containing polycarbonates.

Recycling of End-of-Life Poly(bisphenol A carbonate) via Alkali Metal Halide-Catalyzed Phenolysis.

Project description:The chemical recycling of end-of-life plastic waste streams can contribute to a resource-conserving and sustainable society. This matter of recycling is composed of a sequence of depolymerization and subsequent polymerization reactions. In this regard, we have studied the chemical recycling of end-of-life poly(bisphenol A carbonate) applying phenol as depolymerization reagent. In the presence of catalytic amounts of alkali metal halides as products bisphenol A and diphenyl carbonate were obtained in excellent turnover frequencies of up to 1392 h-1 and short reaction times. These depolymerization products offer the straightforward possibility to close the cycle by producing new poly(bisphenol A carbonate) and as second product phenol, which can be reused for further depolymerizations.

Chemical Recycling of End-of-Life Poly(lactide) via Zinc-Catalyzed Depolymerization and Polymerization.

Project description:The chemical recycling of poly(lactide) was investigated based on depolymerization and polymerization processes. Using methanol as depolymerization reagent and zinc salts as catalyst, poly(lactide) was depolymerized to methyl lactate applying microwave heating. An excellent performance was observed for zinc(II) acetate with turnover frequencies of up to 45000 h-1. In a second step the monomer methyl lactate was converted to (pre)poly(lactide) in the presence of catalytic amounts of zinc salts. Here zinc(II) triflate revealed excellent performance for the polymerization process (yield: 91 %, Mn ∼8970 g/mol). Moreover, the (pre)poly(lactide) was depolymerized to lactide, the industrial relevant molecule for accessing high molecular weight poly(lactide), using zinc(II) acetate as catalyst.

Hydrogenative Depolymerization of Nylons.

Project description:The widespread crisis of plastic pollution demands discovery of new and sustainable approaches to degrade robust plastics such as nylons. Using a green and sustainable approach based on hydrogenation, in the presence of a ruthenium pincer catalyst at 150 °C and 70 bar H2, we report here the first example of hydrogenative depolymerization of conventional, widely used nylons and polyamides, in general. Under the same catalytic conditions, we also demonstrate the hydrogenation of a polyurethane to produce diol, diamine, and methanol. Additionally, we demonstrate an example where monomers (and oligomers) obtained from the hydrogenation process can be dehydrogenated back to a poly(oligo)amide of approximately similar molecular weight, thus completing a closed loop cycle for recycling of polyamides. Based on the experimental and density functional theory studies, we propose a catalytic cycle for the process that is facilitated by metal-ligand cooperativity. Overall, this unprecedented transformation, albeit at the proof of concept level, offers a new approach toward a cleaner route to recycling nylons.

anti-Aminoallylation of aldehydes via ruthenium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenative coupling of sulfonamido allenes: 1,2-aminoalcohols.

Project description:Ruthenium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of N-sulfonamido allene 1e in the presence of aromatic aldehydes 2a-f, alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes 2g-i, and aliphatic aldehydes 2j-l results in reductive coupling to furnish the corresponding anti-aminoallylation products 3a-l. Reductive coupling of allenamide 1e to aldehyde 2a conducted using 2-propanol-d(8) as the terminal reductant delivers deuterio-3a. The observed pattern of deuterium incorporation suggests reversible allene hydrometalation with incomplete regioselectivity in advance of carbonyl addition. A survey of monosubstituted allenes 1f-i was conducted. High levels of anti-diastereoselectivity were observed only when tert-butyl allene 1f was used. This protocol represents an alternative to the use of amino-substituted allylborane reagents in carbonyl aminoallylation and avoids the use of stoichiometric metallic reagents.

Reusability Investigation of a Ruthenium Catalyst during Ruthenium Ion-Catalyzed Oxidative Depolymerization of Lignite for the Production of Valuable Organic Acids.

Project description:A clean and efficient conversion process is essential for the utilization of low-rank coals. Lignite, a typical representative of the low-rank coal family, has huge potential for the production of valuable chemicals via the oxidative depolymerization reaction. Ruthenium ion-catalyzed oxidation (RICO) is an effective route for lignite depolymerization under mild conditions, but the high cost of precious Ru limits the potential large-scale application of RICO. How to recycle and reuse Ru is critical to promote the application of RICO. In this work, a novel and efficient approach for reusing Ru through recycling the solvent mixture containing Ru was established for RICO. First, the influence of different reaction parameters on the depolymerization degree of lignite and benzene polycarboxylic acid (BPCA) yields was investigated. Second, the distribution of Ru in the organic phase (OP), aqueous phase (AP), and residual solid phase (RSP) was analyzed after the RICO reaction. Finally, based on the distribution of Ru in different phases, a novel route of recycling Ru by reusing the Ru-containing solvents was proposed. The results showed that the dosage of RuCl3 and NaIO4 had a significant influence on both the depolymerization degree of lignite and BPCA yields. The distribution of Ru had a close relationship with the depolymerization degree of lignite and the dosage of NaIO4. After the depolymerization reaction, the CCl4 phase containing Ru was reused directly as the solvent for the next run, which could fulfill the reuse of both CCl4 and Ru. The results proved that the Ru-containing CCl4 phase could maintain catalytic performance for 5 runs. This work provides an efficient route to reuse Ru for the RICO depolymerization of lignite into valuable organic acids. As far as we know, this is the first report concerning the recycling and reuse of Ru during the RICO of lignite. This work is important for the application of RICO in lignite depolymerization.

Enantioselective Ruthenium-Catalyzed Benzocyclobutenone-Ketol Cycloaddition: Merging C-C Bond Activation and Transfer Hydrogenative Coupling for Type II Polyketide Construction.

Project description:The first enantioselective intermolecular metal-catalyzed cycloadditions of benzocyclobutenones via C-C bond oxidative addition are described. In the presence of a ruthenium(0) complex modified by ( R)-DM-SEGPHOS, tetralone-derived ketols and benzocyclobutenones combine to form cycloadducts with complete regio- and diastereoselectivity and high enantioselectivity. Using this method, the "bay region" substructure of the angucycline natural product arenimycin was prepared.

Chemical Recycling of Poly(bisphenol A carbonate) by Glycolysis under 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene Catalysis.

Project description:The glycolysis reaction of poly(bisphenol A carbonate) (PC) has been explored under 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) catalysis as a potential route to valorize PC wastes by chemical recycling. The amidine base is an active catalyst of PC glycolysis and, under suitable conditions, promotes effectively and selectively the depolymerization of the polymeric material with 1,2-propanediol or glycerol to give the monomer bisphenol A (BPA) and the relevant cyclic carbonate. The depolymerization process has been investigated under solventless conditions, using diol/triol as the reagent and reaction medium, and also in an auxiliary solvent such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) that is able to dissolve the polymer. The influence of a few experimental parameters (temperature, catalyst load, and reaction time) on the selectivity to cyclic carbonate has been studied. High selectivity to cyclic carbonate has been attained by carrying out the depolymerization reaction in THF and using mild temperature conditions and a stoichiometric amount of polyol. The catalyst can be recovered from the reaction mixture as a BPA/DBU adduct and effectively recycled in a successive run.
