Preparation of Biodiesel from Soybean Catalyzed by Basic Ionic Liquids [Hnmm]OH.

ABSTRACT: A morpholine alkaline basic ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methyl morpholine hydroxide ([Hnmm]OH) was synthesized and characterized by ¹H NMR and FT-IR. [Hnmm]OH is highly active in catalyzing the synthesis of biodiesel from the reaction of methanol with soybean oil. The influence of the reaction conditions, including the [Hnmm]OH catalyst amount, the molar ratio of methanol to soybean oil, reaction temperature and time, was investigated. Moreover, the pH and thermal stability of the catalyst was studied. The catalytic activity was affected by its alkalinity. The optimum reaction conditions were found as [Hnmm]OH amount of 4% (mass fraction), the methanol to soybean oil molar ratio of 8, temperature 70 °C and reaction time 1.5 h, the yield of Biodiesel reached 97.0%, and exhibits high stability upon recycling, the yield of Biodiesel is still more than 90% even after being reused for five times. A great advantage of using ILs is that it is very easy to separate the final products. After the reaction, a biphasic system was obtained. The top phase contains biodiesel and a little bit of methanol. Pure biodiesel can be isolated by vacuum evacuating the methanol. The bottom phase contains methanol, glycerol and ILs. Pure glycerol can be obtained simply by distillation. After distillation, pure ILs was obtained, which can be used directly for another reaction. The as prepared biodiesel shows very appealing properties.

New eutectic ionic liquids for lipase activation and enzymatic preparation of biodiesel.

Project description:The enzymatic preparation of biodiesel has been hampered by the lack of suitable solvents with desirable properties such as high lipase compatibility, low cost, low viscosity, high biodegradability, and ease of product separation. Recent interest in using ionic liquids (ILs) as advanced reaction media has led to fast reaction rates and high yields in the enzymatic synthesis of biodiesel. However, conventional (i.e., cation-anion paired) ILs based on imidazolium and other quaternary ammonium salts remain too expensive for wide application at industrial scales. In this study, we report on newly-synthesized eutectic ILs derived from choline acetate or choline chloride coupled with biocompatible hydrogen-bond donors, such as glycerol. These eutectic solvents have favorable properties including low viscosity, high biodegradability, and excellent compatibility with Novozym(®) 435, a commercial immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B. Furthermore, in a model biodiesel synthesis system, we demonstrate high reaction rates for the enzymatic transesterification of Miglyol(®) oil 812 with methanol, catalyzed by Novozym(®) 435 in choline acetate/glycerol (1:1.5 molar ratio). The high conversion (97%) of the triglyceride obtained within 3 h, under optimal conditions, suggests that these novel eutectic solvents warrant further exploration as potential media in the enzymatic production of biodiesel.

Basic Phosphonium Ionic Liquids as Wittig Reagents.

Project description:The possibility of designing a solvent/reagent for Wittig reactions from basic phosphonium salts is explored theoretically. In the suggested R4P+PhO- and Ph3PR+PhO- ionic liquids (ILs), the phenolate anion is prone to remove the α-proton from the alkyl chains, forming a phosphorous ylide. Significant hydrogen bonding between the oxygen atoms of the anions and α-hydrogen atoms of the cations were found by molecular dynamics simulations of these substances; therefore, proton transfer between the two ions is inherently supported by the structure of the liquid as well. The subsequent steps of the Wittig reaction from the phosphorous ylide were also found to be energetically possible. The mesoscopic structure of these materials exhibits a significant segregation into polar and nonpolar domains, which may also allow an easy dissolution of the substrates. The formation of a pentacoordinated phosphorous derivative through P-O bond formation was found to be also possible in the gas phase for both kind of compounds. Accordingly, having such basic anions in phosphonium-based ILs may produce such a neutral and therefore volatile species, which may hold further significant applications for these solvents in ion-exchange and separation techniques and in synthesis.

Hydrogen Bonds in Disulfonic-Functionalized Acid Ionic Liquids for Efficient Biodiesel Synthesis.

Project description:Regulating the states of hydrogen bonds in ionic liquids (ILs) is an effective way to improve their catalytic performance. In this paper, disulfonic-functionalized acidic ionic liquids (DSFAILs) were synthesized successfully, including novel SO3H-functionalized binuclear IL (bis[3-(CH2)3SO3H-1-(CH2)2-Im][HSO4]2). For the biodiesel synthesis, compared with the traditional ILs catalysts, DSFAILs bis[(3-(CH2)3SO3H-1-(CH2)2-Im][HSO4]2, [Im(N (CH2)3SO3H)2][HSO4]) had higher catalytic activity even under mild reaction conditions. Using the density functional theory (DFT) method, the role of hydrogen bonds in different SO3H-functionalized acidic ionic liquids (SFAILs) was explored. The forms of hydrogen bonds existing in different ILs directly determine their acidity. It suggested that the forming status of the active sites (hydrogen bonds) were diverse in different SFAILs. Also, deep ionization of the hydrogen atoms from the cation-anion strong interaction could increase the acidity and catalytic performance of SFAILs. From this, the structure-activity relationship between the SFAILs structures and the catalytic activity of methyl oleate synthesis was proposed. Besides, the experimental results also showed that bis[3-(CH2)3SO3H-1-(CH2)2-Im][HSO4]2 catalyst had a high catalytic activity to obtain methyl oleate and the catalyst could be separated easily owing to its larger molecular weight. However, [Im(N(CH2)3SO3H)2][HSO4] had a stronger acidity and a lower steric hindrance and thus a higher catalytic activity and was the optimal catalyst for the methyl oleate synthesis. In the presence of a small amount of catalyst (6 wt %) and at low reaction temperature (353 K), the methyl oleate yield could reach up to 93%. After six recycles of the catalyst, the methyl oleate yield remained at 90%.

Preparation and Hydrophilicity/Lipophilicity of Solubility-Switchable Ionic Liquids.

Project description:Various solubility-switchable ionic liquids were prepared. Their syntheses were readily achieved in a few steps from glyceraldehyde dimethylacetal or its derivatives. Pyridinium, imidazolium, and phosphonium derivatives also exhibited solubility-switchable properties; acetal-type ionic liquids were soluble in organic solvents, while diol-type ones exhibited a preference for being dissolved in the aqueous phase. The solubility of the ionic liquids prepared in this study also depended on the number of carbon atoms in the cationic parts of the ionic liquids. Interconversion between the diol-type and the acetal-type ionic liquids was readily achieved under the standard conditions for diol acetalization and acetal hydrolysis. One of the prepared ionic liquids was also examined as a solvent for an organic reaction.

Hydrogen Electrooxidation in Ionic Liquids Catalyzed by the NTf2 Radical.

Project description:Hydrogen electrooxidation via a "hydrogen abstraction" mechanism in an aprotic ionic liquid 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) [Bmpy][NTf2] under anaerobic conditions was investigated using cyclic voltammetry and density functional theory (DFT). It is found that a platinum bound NTf2 radical (NTf2•) formed by the oxidation of NTf2- at anodic potential can catalyze the oxidation of hydrogen and enhance its reaction rate. Both experimental and theoretical studies (DFT) have supported a mechanism involving a NTf2• radical intermediate that catalyzes the hydrogen redox processes.

Ionic Liquids: Efficient Media for the Lipase-Catalyzed Michael Addition.

Project description:Recently, ionic liquids (ILs) have been regarded as ideal media for non-aqueous bio-catalysis. In this work, the synthesis of warfarin by the lipase-catalyzed Michael addition in IL media and the parameters that affected the warfarin yield were investigated. Experimental results demonstrated that the chemical structures of the ILs were a major factor for influencing the warfarin yield. The ILs containing the NTf?? anion were suitable reaction media due to the high chemical stability of this anion. The incorporation of the hydroxyl group on the IL cation significantly improved the lipase activity due to the H?O-mimicking property of this group. The lipase activity decreased by increasing the alkyl chain length on the IL cation due to the non-polar domain formation of the IL cation at the active site entrance of lipase. The ILs and lipase could be reused no less than five times without reduction in the warfarin yield.

Palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling reactions in ?-valerolactone-based ionic liquids.

Project description:It was demonstrated that the ?-valerolactone-based ionic liquid, tetrabutylphosphonium 4-ethoxyvalerate as a partially bio-based solvent can be utilized as alternative reaction medium for copper- and auxiliary base-free Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling reactions of aryl iodides and functionalized acetylenes under mild conditions. Twenty-two cross-coupling products were isolated with good to excellent yields (72-99%) and purity (>98%). These results represent an example which proves that biomass-derived safer solvents can be utilized efficiently in common, industrially important transformations exhibiting higher chemical and environmental efficiency.

Preparation of biopolymer fibers by electrospinning from room temperature ionic liquids.

Project description:Electrospinning is a versatile process used to prepare micro- and nano- sized fibers from various polymers dissolved in volatile solvents. In this report, cellulose and cellulose-heparin composite fibers are prepared from nonvolatile room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) solvents by electrospinning. RTILs are extracted from the biopolymer fiber after the fiber formation using a cosolvent. Micron to nanometer sized, branched fibers were obtained from 10% (w/w) concentration of polysaccharide biopolymer in RTIL solution with an applied voltage of 15-20 kV. Cellulose-heparin composite fibers showed anticoagulant activity, demonstrating that the bioactivity of heparin remained unaffected even on exposure to a high voltage involved in electrospinning.

Transcriptional toxicity of imidazolium- and cholinium-based ionic liquids

Project description:Ionic Liquids are a broad group of salts with low melting points that can be specifically tuned for a broad range of applications. Despite being initially considered “green” solvents, their better environmental friendliness compared to traditional solvents has been increasingly challenged. In this study, we aimed to investigate the molecular effects of ILs exposure by using RNA-sequencing to study differential gene expression patterns. Thus, we exposed Daphnia magna to 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C2mim]Cl), 1-dodecyl chloride-3-methylimidazolium ([C12mim]Cl) and cholinium chloride ([Chol]Cl). Results suggest that the three ILs share several mechanisms of toxicity, including cellular membrane and cytoskeleton damage, oxidative stress, inhibition of antioxidant enzymes, mitochondrial affectation, changes in protein biosynthesis and energy production, DNA damage, and ultimately, programmed cell death and disease initiation. Overall, the dataset revealed that [C2mim]Cl and [C12mim]Cl were, respectively, the least and the most toxic ILs at the transcriptional level. Also, it is reinforced that [Chol]Cl is not devoid of environmental hazardous potential. Unique gene expression signatures could also be identified for each IL.

Isobutane/2-butene alkylation catalyzed by Bronsted-Lewis acidic ionic liquids.

Project description:The alkylation reaction of isobutane with 2-butene to yield C8-alkylates was performed using Brønsted-Lewis acidic ionic liquids (ILs) comprising various metal chlorides (ZnCl2, FeCl2, FeCl3, CuCl2, CuCl, and AlCl3) on the anion. IL 1-(3-sulfonic acid)-propyl-3-methylimidazolium chlorozincinate [HO3S-(CH2)3-mim]Cl-ZnCl2 (x=0.67) exhibited outstanding catalytic performance, which is attributed to the appropriate acidity, the synergistic effect originating from its double acidic sites and the promoting effect of water on the formation and transfer of protons. The Lewis acidic strength of IL played an important role in improving IL catalytic performance. A 100% conversion of 2-butene with 85.8% selectivity for C8-alkylate was obtained under mild reaction conditions. The IL reusability was good because its alkyl sulfonic acid group being tethered covalently, its anion [Zn2Cl5]- inertia to the active hydrogen, and its insolubility in the product. IL [HO3S-(CH2)3-mim]Cl-ZnCl2 had potential applicability in the benzene alkylation reaction with olefins and halohydrocarbons.
