We have optimized and compared the synthesis of 1,2-epoxyoctane from 1-octene by resting and by growing cells of Pseudomonas oleovorans. The net production of 1,2-epoxyoctane by resting cells never exceeded 0.6 mg/ml of suspension. In contrast, P. oleovorans produced much more epoxide when it was grown on high levels of 1-octene. To raise the total production of epoxide, the octene layer was re...

Alkylation of biphenyl with 1-octene was investigated using ((Al+C3H7Cl)+C2H4) catalysts. The catalytic activity of ((Al+C3H7Cl)+C2H4) for the alkylation was studied at different temperatures, mol ratios of biphenyl to 1-octene, reaction times and catalyst concentrations. It was shown that using this catalyst has more advantagous than another catalysts. Experiments show that by increasing t...

When hydroboration of 1-octene is carried out in the presence of catalytic amounts of rhodium trichloride followed by the usual oxidation (hydrogen peroxide in aqueous alkali), only minor proportions of 1-octanol (2.4%) are formed accompanied by very significant amounts of 2- (17.4%), 3- (36.9%), and 4-octanol (43.3%). These product compositions are obtained in good overall yield when the boran...

Mo and W MonoAryloxide-Pyrrolide (MAP) olefin metathesis catalysts can couple terminal olefins to give as high as >98% Z-products in moderate to high yields with as little as 0.2% catalyst. Results are reported for 1-hexene, 1-octene, allylbenzene, allyltrimethylsilane, methyl-10-undecenoate, methyl-9-decenoate, allylB(pinacolate), allylOBenzyl, allylNHTosyl, and allylNHPh. It is proposed that ...

Abstract The selective hydrogenation of octyne in a mixed 1‐octyne/1‐octene feed was investigated by employing Pd/Al 2 O 3 and PdAg/Al catalysts coated with 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium dicyanamide ([BMIM][DCA]) as SCILLs (Solid Catalysts an Ionic Liquid Layer). All were compared to organically modified, 1‐ethylimidazole (EIM) catalyst determine if there is SCILL effect. Results the catalysis sh...

The control on product distributions in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis by feeding olefins in the n-paraffin solvent over a 20 wt.% Co/SiO2 catalyst under the typical reaction conditions of 503K, 2.1MPa, H2/CO = 2, and co-fed olefins 16 mol% in CO base in a trickle bed reactor has been studied. The selected co-fed olefins include 1-octene, 2-octene and 1-dodecene. Results showed that the addition of ...

We reported a universal route for synthesizing porous organic ligands (POLs) via solvothermal polymerization. The POLs were obtained quantitatively, showing high surface area, large pore volume, hierarchical porosity, and superior stability. The POL bearing a triphenylphosphine supported rhodium catalyst (Rh/POL-PPh3) exhibits high activity and excellent recyclability in 1-octene hydroformylation.
