Enhanced selectivity in the conversion of methanol to 2,2,3-trimethylbutane (triptane) over zinc iodide by added phosphorous or hypophosphorous acid.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The yield of triptane from the reaction of methanol with zinc iodide is dramatically increased by addition of phosphorous or hypophosphorous acid, via transfer of hydride from a P-H bond to carbocationic intermediates.

Selective homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic conversion of methanol/dimethyl ether to triptane.
The demand for specific fuels and chemical feed-stocks fluctuates, and as a result, logistical mismatches can occur in the supply of their precursor raw materials such as coal, biomass, crude oil, and methane. To overcome these challenges, industry requires a versatile and robust suite of conversion technologies, many of which are mediated by synthesis gas (CO + H(2)) or methanol/dimethyl ether...

متن کاملMethanol Steam Reforming Catalyzing over Cu/Zn/Fe Mixed Oxide Catalysts
Methanol steam reforming plays a pivotal role to produce hydrogen for fuel cell systems in a low temperature range. To accomplish higher methanol conversion and lower CO production, the reaction was catalyzed by CuZnFe mixed oxides. Various ratios of Fe and Cu/Zn were coprecipitated in differential method to optimize the CuZnFe structure. The sample containing 45Cu50Zn5Fe (Wt. %) revealed its m...
متن کاملDME Synthesis over MSU-S Catalyst through Methanol Dehydration Reaction
MSU-S mesoporous catalyst with [SiO2]/[Al2O3] ratio of 55 was synthesized using tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH) as a structure directing agent and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a surfactant. The catalytic activity of the calcined sample was evaluated for the dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether (DME) in a vertical fixed bed microreactor...
متن کاملTwo-level Full Factorial Design for Selectivity Modeling and Studying Simultaneous Effects of Temperature and Ethanol Concentration in Methanol Dehydration Reaction
Using surface analysis, simultaneous effects of temperature (260-380ºC) and ethanol concentration (0-1%) on dimethyl ether (DME) selectivity, yields of hydrocarbon and DME, and methanol conversion were investigated in methanol dehydration reaction over γ-Al2O3 catalyst. Methanol conversion and yield of hydrocarbon/DME were found to be significantly affected by temperature and the temperature-et...
