Sorption enhanced dimethyl ether synthesis under industrially relevant conditions: experimental validation of pressure swing regeneration

A short synthesis of (±)-cherylline dimethyl ether

A synthesis of ±-cherylline dimethyl ether is reported. The key steps involved are Michael-type addition, radical azidonation of an aldehyde, Curtius rearrangement, and reduction of an isocyanate intermediate followed by Pictet-Spengler cyclization.

Title : SIMULATION OF DYNAMIC PRESSURE - SWING GAS SORPTION IN POLYMERS

Title: SIMULATION OF DYNAMIC PRESSURESWING GAS SORPTION IN POLYMERS Heather Jane St. Pierre, Master of Science, 2005 Directed By: Professor Timothy A. Barbari Department of Chemical Engineering A transport model was developed to simulate a dynamic pressure-swing sorption process that separates binary gas mixtures using a packed bed of non-porous spherical polymer particles. The model was solved...

A Tandem Scalable Microwave-Assisted Williamson Alkyl Aryl Ether Synthesis under Mild Conditions

An efficient tandem synthesis of alkyl aryl ethers, including valuable building blocks of dialdehyde and dinitro groups under microwave irradiation and solvent free conditions on potassium carbonate as a mild solid base has been developed. A series of alkyl aryl ethers were obtained from alcohols in excellent yields by following the Williamson ether synthesis protocol under practical mild condi...

Experimental Validation of an Enhanced System Synthesis Approach

Planning the layout and operation of a technical system is a common task for an engineer. Typically, the workflow is divided into consecutive stages: First, the engineer designs the layout of the system, with the help of his experience or of heuristic methods. Secondly, he finds a control strategy which is often optimized by simulation. This usually results in a good operating of an unquestione...
