An experimental study of the oxidation of ethylcyclohexane has been performed in a jet-stirred reactor with online gas chromatography, under quasi-atmospheric pressure (800 Torr), at temperatures ranging from 500 to 1100 K (low- and intermediate-temperature zone including the negative temperature coefficient area), at a residence time of 2 s, and for three equivalence ratios (0.25, 1, and 2). E...

Unlike normal Diels-Alder reactions of acyclic alkadienes with alkenes, the vinylbicyclo[2.2.2]octene employed in the Baran total synthesis of vinigrol undergoes a quantitative Diels-Alder reaction with a tethered alkene at room temperature. Density functional theory calculations reveal that this unprecedented reactivity originates from a combination of preorganization, diene strain, and tether...

Abstract We report the hydrogenation catalytic activity application of molybdenum–ruthenium (MoRu) solid‐solution alloy nanoparticles (NPs) as catalysts for 1‐octene and 1‐octyne. The structure MoRu NPs was confirmed through scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) coupled with energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX), powder diffraction (PXRD) measurement. these toward 1‐octyne in te...

Our current understanding of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation is limited by our knowledge of gaseous secondary organics involved in gas/particle partitioning. The objective of this study is to explore (i) the potential for products of multiple oxidation steps contributing to SOA, and (ii) the evolution of the SOA/VOC/NOx system. We developed an explicit model based on the coupling of d...

In this work, the effect of hexyl branch content on thermal behavior of a fractionated ethylene/1-octene copolymer with emphasis on high temperatures was investigated. The ethylene/1-octene copolymer was carefully fractionated to different fractions with homogenous hexyl branch (HB) content by preparative temperature rising elution fractionation (P-TREF) method. The P-TREF fractions were therma...

We have successfully developed a novel and efficient phosphine-catalyzed sequential [2+3] and [3+2] annulation reaction of γ-substituent allenoates to construct bicyclic[3, 3, 0]octene derivatives. The protocol uses readily available γ-substituent allenoates as the starting materials, inexpensive PBu3 as the catalyst, and the corresponding products were obtained in good to excellent yields unde...
