Application of a new hydrogenated aluminophosphate oxynitride (ALPON) as a catalytic support for the one-step synthesis of methyl isobutyl ketone from acetone

Abstract: A new hydrogenated aluminophosphate oxynitride (ALPON) obtained by nitridation of AlPO4 can be used as a support to prepare a polyfunctional catalyst with both basic and metallic sites. Ni/ ALPON catalyst was effective for the low-pressure one-step methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) synthesis from acetone. The selectivity of the process depended on the temperature and time-on-stream of the hydrogen reduction treatment suggesting that selective MIBK production is achieved by a fine balance between basic and metallic sites.

Chemicals from ethanol—The acetone one-pot synthesis

Abstract: Ethanol is a platform molecule that can generate many different products employing one-pot processes and multifunctional catalysts. The synthesis of acetone from ethanol is a good example of these processes. Some authors studied the generation of acetone from ethanol and proposed mechanisms which are not fully in agreement. This work using catalyst physical mixtures and IR spectroscopy (DRIFTS) is consistent with the generation of acetone from ethanol by ketonization of carboxylates which are obtained by dehydrogenation of this alcohol followed by oxidation. These results confirm that physical mixtures of catalysts can be a valuable tool in order to study the mechanism of multi-step reactions.

Direct solid-support sample loading for fast cataluminescence determination of acetone in human plasma.

Abstract: In the current manuscript we describe the development of a novel cataluminescence (CTL) sensor coupled with ionic liquids (ILs)-based headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) technologies for the quantification of human plasma acetone levels associated with diabetic disease ex vivo. The unique properties of ILs, such as their nonvolatile and nonflammable nature, coupled with their high thermal stability allow ILs to be conveniently adopted as pseudosolid carriers for direct loading of acetone into a CTL sensor without matrix interference. Acetone from diabetic patient plasma and plasma samples spiked with acetone along with methanol, ethanol, and formaldehyde was conveniently and rapidly extracted and enriched in 3 microL of IL and then rapidly quantified by our CTL sensor. The presence of plasma alone or spiked plasma containing methanol, ethanol, or formaldehyde did not interfere with acetone measurements. HS-SPME-CTL provides higher enrichment efficiency than headspace single-drop microextraction-based CTL (HS-SDME-CTL) methods, possibly due to that the thin film formed in HS-SPME instead of the single IL drop in HS-SDME increases the exchange area for extracted acetone. The enrichment efficiency by HS-SPME-CTL was almost 80-fold higher than that with direct injection using the same volume of aqueous samples and more than 6-fold higher than that using HS-SDME-CTL. Considering that ILs can be easily prepared from inexpensive materials and tuned by the combination of different anions and cations for the extraction of specific analytes from various solvent media, this proposed technology raises an exciting possibility by employing HS-SPME-CTL for the fast determination of specific targets in many fields.

A comparison of acetone and poly(propylene glycol) as solvents for lithium triflate and lithium perchlorate

Abstract: Solutions of LiCF3SO3 and LiClO4 in acetone and in poly(propylene glycol) (PPG 400 and PPG 4000) have been compared by studying the nondegenerate, symmetric stretch (A1,SO3) and (A1,ClO4) Raman mod
