The Microwave-Assisted Green Synthesis of TiC Powders.

ABSTRACT: Titanium carbide (TiC) is an important engineering material and has found widespread applications. Currently, TiC is typically synthesized through carbothermal reduction, requiring a high temperature (ca. 1700-2300 °C) and long reaction time (ca. 10-20 h), which is not eco-friendly. During a conventional reaction path, anatase TiO₂ (A-TiO₂) was first converted to rutile TiO₂ (R-TiO₂), which was subsequently reduced to TiC. Herein, we explored the synthesis of TiC powders with the assistance of microwave heating. In particular, we achieved the conversion of A-TiO₂, which was more reactive than R-TiO₂ for the carbothermal reduction, to TiC, which was directly due to quick microwave heating. As such, the carbothermal reduction started at a much lower temperature of ca. 1200 °C and finished within 30 min when reacting at 1400 °C, leading to significant energy saving. This study shows that microwave-assisted synthesis can be an effective and green process for preparing TiC powders, which is promising for future large-scale production. The influence of the reaction temperature, the reaction duration, and the carbon content on the synthesis of TiC powders was investigated.

Microwave-Assisted Vacuum Synthesis of TiO<sub>2</sub> Nanocrystalline Powders in One-Pot, One-Step Procedure.

Project description:A new method for fast and simple synthesis of crystalline TiO2 nanoparticles with photocatalytic activity was developed by carrying out a classic sol-gel reaction directly under vacuum. The use of microwaves for fast heating of the reaction medium further reduces synthesis times. When the solvent is completely removed by vacuum, the product is obtained in the form of a powder that can be easily redispersed in water to yield a stable nanoparticle suspension, exhibiting a comparable photocatalytic activity with respect to a commercial product. The present methodology can, therefore, be considered a process intensification procedure for the production of nanotitania.

Microwave-assisted green synthesis of bile acid derivatives and evaluation of glucocorticoid receptor binding.

Project description:Herein, we present microwave-assisted AlCl3 catalyzed oxidation of bile acid hydroxyl groups in the presence of Oxone® in water media. Significant rate enhancements were observed for Wolff-Kishner reduction of synthesized bile acids oxo derivatives to the 5β-cholanic acid. Reaction of amidation of the simplest bile acid and aminolysis of the deoxycholic acid was accomplished in the absence of solvent and catalysts under sealed vessel microwave conditions. Because 5β-cholanic acid reportedly modulates glucocorticoid receptor signaling in cell models of Parkinson's disease, we tested the affinity of 5β-cholanic acid and deoxycholic acid derivatives for the glucocorticoid receptor in vitro using a yeast-based fluorescent screen. Treatment of GR-expressing yeast with prednisolone resulted in a dose-dependent increase in fluorescence; whereas 5β-cholanic acid binds to the glucocorticoid receptor with more moderate affinity. Similarly, molecular docking also suggests that 5β-cholanic acid can bind to the glucocorticoid receptor, with similar geometry to known GR ligands.

Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of N-Phenylsuccinimide.

Project description:A microwave-assisted synthesis of N-phenylsuccinimide has been developed for the second-semester organic teaching laboratory. Utilizing this procedure, N-phenylsuccinimide can be synthesized by heating a mixture of aniline and succinic anhydride in a domestic microwave oven for four minutes in moderate yields (40-60%). This technique reduces the reaction time as compared to the traditional synthesis by several hours, which allows the preparation to be achieved in a single organic chemistry laboratory period. This reaction is performed in the absence of solvent, is energy efficient, and is atom economical; therefore, it represents a "greener" preparation than the traditional synthesis of N-phenylsuccinimide.

Project description:The microwave synthesis of 12 rhodamine-derived imines is described. The present work involves condensation of rhodamine hydrazide with various aromatic aldehydes in ethanol under microwave irradiation. The results obtained indicate that, unlike classical heating, microwave irradiation results in higher yields, shorter reaction time, mild reaction condition and simple work-up procedure. The structures of synthesized compounds were confirmed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FT-IR and high-resolution mass spectra data.

Microwave-Assisted Catalytic Method for a Green Synthesis of Amides Directly from Amines and Carboxylic Acids.

Project description:Amide bonds are among the most interesting and abundant molecules of life and products of the chemical pharmaceutical industry. In this work, we describe a method of the direct synthesis of amides from carboxylic acids and amines under solvent-free conditions using minute quantities of ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as a catalyst. The reactions are carried out in an open microwave reactor and allow the corresponding amides to be obtained in a fast and effective manner when compared to other procedures of the direct synthesis of amides from acids and amines reported so far in the literature. The amide product isolation procedure is simple, environmentally friendly, and is performed with no need for chromatographic purification of secondary amides due to high yields. In this report, primary amines were used in most examples. However, the developed procedure seems to be applicable for secondary amines as well. The methodology produces a limited amount of wastes, and a catalyst can be easily separated. This highly efficient, robust, rapid, solvent-free, and additional reagent-free method provides a major advancement in the development of an ideal green protocol for amide bond formation.

Microwave assisted synthesis of Py-Im polyamides.

Project description:Microwave synthesis was utilized to rapidly build Py-Im polyamides in high yields and purity using Boc-protection chemistry on Kaiser oxime resin. A representative polyamide targeting the 5'-WGWWCW-3' (W = A or T) subset of the consensus Androgen and Glucocorticoid Response Elements was synthesized in 56% yield after 20 linear steps and HPLC purification. It was confirmed by Mosher amide derivatization of the polyamide that a chiral ?-amino acid does not racemize after several additional coupling steps.

Microwave assisted synthesis of triazoloquinazolinones and benzimidazoquinazolinones.

Project description:BackgroundBenzimidazoquinazolinones and related quinazolines are classes of heterocycles that are of considerable interest because of the diverse range of their biological properties. Although numerous classes of quinazolines have been conventionally synthesized, their syntheses have been suffered due to the multiple steps that sometimes have described in their preparation and also their chemical transformations that have been taken hours or even days to be completed. However, microwave energy can offer numerous benefits for performing synthesis of organic compounds including reduced pollution, increased reaction rates, yield enhancements, and cleaner chemistries.ResultsSynthesis of a series of triazoloquinazolinones and benzimidazoquinazolinones has been achieved under microwave irradiation. The products were obtained in nearly quantitative yields within few minutes during the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with 5-amino-1(H)-1,2,4-triazole (or 2-aminobenzimidazole) and dimedone in DMF.ConclusionMicrowave irradiation can be used as a facile and general method for the construction of a wide variety of triazoloquinazolinones and benzimidazoquinazolinones. The reaction involves a three component condensation (with potential for combinatorial work) being carried out with almost productive yields by microwave irradiation and considerably shortened reaction time.

Green Deep Eutectic Solvents for Microwave-Assisted Biomass Delignification and Valorisation.

Project description:Aiming to fulfil the sustainability criteria of future biorefineries, a novel biomass pretreatment combining natural deep eutectic solvents (NaDESs) and microwave (MW) technology was developed. Results showed that NaDESs have a high potential as green solvents for lignin fractionation/recovery and sugar release in the following enzymatic hydrolysis. A new class of lignin derived NaDESs (LigDESs) was also investigated, showing promising effects in wheat straw delignification. MW irradiation enabled a fast pretreatment under mild condition (120 °C, 30 min). To better understand the interaction of MW with these green solvents, the dielectric properties of NaDESs were investigated. Furthermore, a NaDES using the lignin recovered from biomass pretreatment as hydrogen bond donor was prepared, thus paving the way for a "closed-loop" biorefinery process.
