Hydrocarbons acids, synthesis with

The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, which may be broadly defined as the reductive polymerization of carbon monoxide, can be schematically represented as shown in Eq. (1). The CHO products in Eq. (1) are any organic molecules containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen which are stable under the reaction conditions employed in the synthesis. With most heterogeneous catalysts the primary products of the reaction are straight-chain alkanes, while the secondary products include branched-chain hydrocarbons, alkenes, alcohols, aldehydes, and carboxylic acids. The distribution of the various products depends on both the type of catalyst and the reaction conditions employed (4). 

Two general classes of pheromone compound have been identified in moths, and these have some broad, although not uniform, associations with certain taxa. The polyene hydrocarbons and epoxides of various chain lengths are pheromones found in some subfamilies of the Geometridae and Noctuidae, and in the Arctiidae and Lymantridae (Millar, 2000). These compounds are probably derived from dietary Unoleic and linolenic acids. The other major class of pheromone compounds includes acetate, alcohols, and aldehydes, which are found in the Tortrici-dae, Pyralidae, Gelechiidae, Sessiidae, and Noctuidae. This class of compounds is derived from the insect s fatty acid synthesis pathway, with enzymatic modifications discussed above. Both classes of pheromone are broadly represented in the Noctuidae but are typically found in different subfamilies (Am et al., 1992,2003). 

Metal-catalyzed reactions of CO with organic molecules have been under investigation since the late 1930s and early 1940s, when Roelen (/) discovered the hydroformylation reaction and Reppe (2) the acrylic acid synthesis and other related carbonylation reactions. These early studies of the carbonyla-tions of unsaturated hydrocarbons led to extremely useful syntheses of a variety of oxygenated products. Some of the reactions, however, suffered from the serious problem that they produced isomeric mixtures of products. For example, the cobalt-catalyzed hydroformylation of propylene gave mixtures of n-butyraldehyde and isobutyraldehyde.

The catalysts evaluated are active for synthesis gas conversion the percent conversion of H2 and CO is shown for each catalyst in Figure 1 as a function of time under evaluation conditions and temperature. At 280°C the percent conversion of synthesis gas increases with time for the acidic zeolite-supported catalysts, Fe/ZSM-5 and Fe/Mordenite, but decreases for the larger pore, non-acidic zeolite-supported catalyst Fe/13X. The percent conversion increases for all catalysts at 300°C for Fe/ZSM-5 and Fe/Mordenite the conversions remain constant at this temperature for several days, although for Fe/13X the conversion increases with time. The trends in % synthesis gas conversion, particularly % CO, are reflected in the weight % hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide and water obtained in the reactor effluent over the period of evaluation, see Figure 2. It is apparent that the catalysts are effective for the production of hydrocarbons from synthesis gas, but also catalyze the water gas shift reaction the % hydrocarbons and%C02 obtained are greater at the higher temperature (300°C) whereas the % H2O is less at this temperature than at 280°C. 

The nitro substitution products of naphthalene are easily prepared by the action of nitric acid on the hydrocarbon. By such direct nitration the product obtained is alpha-nitro naphthalene. This is proven by the following series of reactions. Nitro-naphfhalene by reduction yields amino naphthalene, naphthylamine, which by the diazo reaction yields hydroxy naphthalene, naphthol. Now the naphthol so obtained is identical with the one resulting from the phenyl vinyl acetic acid synthesis (p. 768) and this must be the alpha compound. 

Fatty acid synthesis is essentially the reverse of this process. The process starts with the individual units to be assembled— in this case with an activated acyl group (most simply, an acetyl unit) and a malonyl unit (see Figure 22.2). The malonyl unit condenses with the acetyl unit to form a four-carbon fragment. To produce the required hydrocarbon chain, the carbonyl group is reduced to a methylene group in three steps a reduction,...

Medium-pressure synthesis with iron catalysts. Up to January, 1935, the maximum yields of C5+ hydrocarbons obtained with iron catalysts at atmospheric pressure were 30-40 g./m.3 synthesis gas. The decline of catalyst activity amounted to 20% within 8 days (19). Fischer and Meyer (20) improved the yields of the normal-pressure synthesis with iron catalysts (in 1934-1936) to 50-60 g./m.3 synthesis gas and the lifetime of the catalyst from 8 days to about 30 days. These results were obtained with iron-copper precipitation catalysts (1 atm., 230-240°C.). The decline of catalyst activity was closely connected with changes of the composition of the reaction products. The color of the synthetic products changed from white to yellow and formation of fatty acids and organic iron salts was detected. Increased carbon monoxide content of the synthesis gas and increased alkali content of the catalyst accelerated this phenomenon.
