Resins alcohol oxidation

Oxidation of LLDPE starts at temperatures above 150°C. This reaction produces hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in polymer molecules as well as low molecular weight compounds such as water, aldehydes, ketones, and alcohols. Oxidation reactions can occur during LLDPE pelletization and processing to protect molten resins from oxygen attack during these operations, antioxidants (radical inhibitors) must be used. These antioxidants (qv) are added to LLDPE resins in concentrations of 0.1—0.5 wt %, and maybe naphthyl amines or phenylenediamines, substituted phenols, quinones, and alkyl phosphites (4), although inhibitors based on hindered phenols are preferred. 

Bielefeld s Gelotinizotion Method, patented in Germany in 1896-7, consisted of treating expls, such as NG, nitrobenzene, nitromolasses, aromatic nitrocompds, etc per se or in the presence of drying oils, resins, alcohol, etc with sulfur monochlor-ide(S2Cl2) at very low temps. The resulting jelly was mixed with oxidizers, such as nitrates, and with fuels, such as sawdust, flour, etc and then cartridged(compare with Parke s Absorbents)...

Organic components of polishes are widespread. Thus most products emit complex VOC mixtures that may consist of alkanes, various alcohols, acetates, C2-C4-benzenes, terpenes and derivatives of naphthalene. This is illustrated by the range of compounds emitted by a furniture polish (Figure 15.2b) and a shoe polish (Figure 15.2c). Many modern floor waxes are based on natural ingredients like alkyd resins. On oxidative degradation of unsaturated fatty acids, volatile aliphatic aldehydes (C5-C11) with unpleasant smell (Ruth, 1986) are formed and the emission rates may remain at high levels over months and even years (Salthammer, 1999).

Polymer-supported triphenylphosphine ditriflate (37) has been prepared by treatment of polymer bound (polystyrene-2% divinylbenzene copolymer resin) triphenylphosphine oxide (36) with triflic anhydride in dichloromethane, the structure being confirmed by gel-phase 31P NMR [54, 55] (Scheme 7.12). This reagent is effective in various dehydration reactions such as ester (from primary and secondary alcohols) and amide formation in the presence of diisopropylethylamine as base, the polymer-supported triphenylphosphine oxide being recovered after the coupling reaction and reused. Interestingly, with amide formation, the reactive acyloxyphosphonium salt was preformed by addition of the carboxylic acid to 37 prior to addition of the corresponding amine. This order of addition ensured that the amine did not react competitively with 37 to form the unreactive polymer-sup-ported aminophosphonium triflate. 

Alkanes, various alcohols, acetates, C2-C4 benzenes, terpenes and derivatives of naphthalene are frequently detected. Many modem floor waxes are based on natural ingredients such as alkyd resins. On oxidative degradation of unsaturated fatty acids, volatile aliphatic aldehydes (C5-C11) of disagreeable smell (Ruth, 1986) are formed. 

Whatever its nature this electrochemlcally treated polymer has been shown to oxidize secondary alcohols to ketones in high yield (67). Since the reagent can be recycled by a continually applied current, the reaction proceeds catalytically. No supporting electrolyte is needed. Electrical efficiency is high. Primary alcohols oxidize more slowly to yield the carboxylic acid. The resin can be used many times without loss of reactivity.

Water is usually considered the most environmentally benign solvent however, the poor solubility of bulkier alcohols and molecular oxygen under ambient conditions has limited its application (in the absence of surfactants [25]). Pt nanoparticles supported on a water-soluble anion exchange resin exhibit excellent E-factors (12.8kilo waste per kilo product) in addition to very good activity and selectivity for alcohol oxidation [136]. Similarly, water has been used as solvent for, for example, benzyUc and primary alcohol oxidations over supported or stabilized Pd [137], Pt [138], and Au [139] clusters.
