Reactions in supercritical fluids. A case study of the thermodynamic solvent effects on a Diels—Alder reaction in supercritical carbon dioxide
نویسندگان
چکیده
The fundamental aspects of chemical reaction kinetics at near-critical conditions are discussed within the framework of transition state theory and the thermodynamics of critical phenomena for multicomponent systems. This discussion emphasizes the geometric analysis of Griffiths and Wheeler which describes the manner in which various thermodynamic properties behave on approaching mixture critical points for multicomponent systems. This analysis is used to explain experimental observations of the reaction kinetics for the Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction of maleic anhydride with isoprene in supercritical CO2 at conditions near the critical point of CO2. The practical aspects of supercritical fluids as solvents for reacting systems are also discussed.

Continuous Synthesis of Oleyl Oleate in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide using Solid p-Toluenesulfonic Acid as Catalyst
Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) was used as solvent to synthesize oleyl oleate as an analog of Jojoba oil from oleic acid and oleyl alcohol with high conversion (100%) of the acid into ester in a short time of 100 min. Utilizing a low cost solid catalyst, p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (PTSA), the esterification reaction was performed, without any prior preparation step...

Solubility of high molecular weight n-paraffins in supercritical carbon dioxide has been a matter of interest to many researchers. However, not sufficient solubility experimental data are available although the methods by which the experimental data are obtained have many varieties. Utilizing cubic equations of state is an effective method for solubility prediction of n-paraffins in supercr...
متن کاملI. New Cycloadditions for the Synthesis of Nitrogen Heterocycles
Alkyliminoacetonitrile derivatives were investigated as dienophiles in the Diels-Alder reaction. These activated imines react with dienes in intramolecular [4+2] cycloadditions to provide products with either the quinolizidine or indolizidine ring system, depending on the length of the tether connecting diene and dienophile. Quinolizidine cycloadducts are formed in good yield and with high ster...
متن کاملSupercritical Carbon Dioxide and Its Potential as a Life-Sustaining Solvent in a Planetary Environment
Supercritical fluids have different properties compared to regular fluids and could play a role as life-sustaining solvents on other worlds. Even on Earth, some bacterial species have been shown to be tolerant to supercritical fluids. The special properties of supercritical fluids, which include various types of selectivities (e.g., stereo-, regio-, and chemo-selectivity) have recently been rec...

In this study, two thermodynamic models (regular solution theory and equation of state) were applied to obtain carotenoid solubility in the supercritical carbon dioxide solvent. Theoretical data obtained from the models were compared with the experimental data extracted from a published paper. The use of equation of state as an empirical correlation for collating and predicting liquidliquid and...
