Catalytic systems were investigated for the ethanolysis of expired food into 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (5-EMF). Fructan-rich expired food (expired probiotics beverage powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and burdock tea), and starchy expired food (expired steamed buns and egg yolk battercake) were tested as starting substrates. Optimization of the reaction conditions included varying the catalyst type, temperature, catalyst loading, and reaction time to maximize 5-EMF yield. Several co-solvents were added to evaluate their impact on the generation of 5-EMF. The selected expired foods produced 5-EMF yields ranging from 0.2 mol% to 68 mol%. The 5-EMF yield from fructan-rich expired food was more noticeably affected by the content of the non-carbohydrate part than that from starchy expired food. The effect of co-solvents on conversion efficiency was closely related to the catalyst type but was not strongly correlated with the feedstock used. This study provides a facile way to produce biofuel chemicals from carbohydrate-rich expired food.

The kinetics for the esterification of acetic acid with methanol was studied systemically in the presence of low-corrosive Brønsted acidic ionic liquids (BAILs) as catalysts. The effect of various parameters such as catalyst type, agitation speed, temperature, catalyst loading, and molar ratio of the reactants on the conversion of acidic acid was studied in detail to obtain the optimal reaction conditions. Moreover, the pseudo-homogeneous (PH) kinetic model was utilized successfully to correlate the experimental data in the temperature range from 323.15 to 343.15 K. Thus, a complete kinetic equation for describing this esterification system was developed that provides to obtain the kinetic information for the simulation and design of catalytic distillation column in the synthesis of methyl acetate.

The liquefaction experiments of straw biomass under heating and pressure were carried out with sulfuric acid and three ionic liquids as catalysts, 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM] [Cl]), 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([BMIM] [HSO4]), 1-methyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl) imidazole bisulphate ([HSO3-BMIM] [HSO4]), and anhydrous ethanol as solvent. The effects of catalyst type and dosage, reaction time and reaction temperature on liquefaction were investigated and optimized. The results showed that under the catalysis of sulfuric acid, the yield of ethyl levulinate was the highest; [HSO3-BMIM] [HSO4], the conversion of raw materials was the highest; when sulfuric acid was used as catalyst, the optimum reaction conditions were catalyst dosage 10%, reaction temperature 190 °C, reaction time 60 min, the yield of ethyl levulinate (EL) was 18.11%, and the conversion of raw materials was 75%. When [HSO3-BMIM] [HSO4] was used as catalyst, the optimum reaction conditions were as follows: catalyst dosage 26%, reaction temperature 200 °C, reaction time 60 min, the yield of EL was 10.2%, conversion of raw material 85.31%.

The selective oxidation of styrene under heterogeneous catalyzed conditions delivers environmentally friendly paths for the production of benzaldehyde, an important intermediate for the synthesis of several products. The present review explores heterogeneous catalysts for styrene oxidation using a variety of metal catalysts over the last decade. The use of several classes of supports is discussed, including metal–organic frameworks, zeolites, carbon materials and silicas, among others. The studied catalytic systems propose as most used oxidants tert-butyl hydroperoxide, and hydrogen peroxide and mild reaction conditions. The reaction mechanism proceeds through the generation of an intermediate reactive metal–oxygen species by catalyst-oxidant interactions. Overall, most of the studies highlight the synergetic effects among the metal and support for the activity and selectivity enhancement.

Isoamyl acetate was synthesized from isoamylol and glacial acetic acid with strong acidic cation exchanger as catalyst. The effects of reaction conditions such as acid-alcohol ratio, reaction time, catalyst dosage to esterification reaction have been investigated and the optimum reaction conditions can be concluded as: the molar ratio of acetic acid to isoamylol 0.8:1, reaction time 2h, 25 % of catalyst (quality of acetic acid as benchmark). The conversion rate can reach up to 75.46%. The catalytic ability didn’t reduce significantly after reusing 10 times and the results showed that the catalyst exhibited preferably catalytic activity and reusability.

A series of single-metal carbonates and Pb-Zn mixed-metal carbonates were prepared as catalysts for alcoholysis of urea with 1,2-propylene glycol (PG) for the synthesis of propylene carbonate (PC). The mixed carbonates all show much better catalytic activities than the single carbonates, arising from a strong synergistic effect between the two crystalline phases, hydrozincite and lead carbonate. The mixed carbonate with Pb/Zn=1:2 gives the highest yield of PC, followed by the mixed carbonate with Pb/Zn=1:3. Furthermore, Taguchi method was used to optimize the synthetic process for improving the yield of PC. It is shown that the reaction temperature is the most significant factor affecting the yield of PC, followed by the reaction time, and that the optimal reaction conditions are the reaction time at 5 hours, the reaction temperature at 180 oC and the catalyst amount at 1.8 wt%, resulting in the highest PC yield of 96.3%.

Background: Baylis-Hillman reaction suffers from the requirement of cheap starting materials, easy reaction protocol, possibility to create the chiral center in the reaction product has increased the synthetic efficacy of this reaction, and high catalyst loading, low reaction rate, and poor yield. Objective: The extensive use of various functional or non-functional ionic liquids (ILs) with organocatalyst increases the reaction rate of various organic transformations as a reaction medium and as a support to anchor the catalysts. Methods: In this manuscript, we have demonstrated the synthesis of quinuclidine-supported trimethylamine-based functionalized ionic liquid as a catalyst for the Baylis-Hillman reaction. Results: We obtained the Baylis-Hillman adducts in good, isolated yield, low catalyst loading, short reaction time, broad substrate scope, accessible product, and catalyst recycling. N-((E,3S,4R)-5-benzylidene-tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-6-oxo-2H-pyran-3-yl) palmitamide was also successfully synthesized using CATALYST-3 promoted Baylis-Hillman reaction. Conclusion: We successfully isolated the 25 types of Baylis-Hillman adducts using three different quinuclidine-supported ammonium-based ionic liquids such as Et3AmQ][BF4] (CATALYST-1), [Et3AmQ][PF6] (CATALYST-2), and [TMAAmEQ][NTf2](CATALYST-3) as new and efficient catalysts. Tedious and highly active N-((E,3S,4R)-5-benzylidene-tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-6-oxo-2H-pyran-3-yl) palmitamide derivative was also synthesized using CATALYST-3 followed by Baylis-Hillman reaction. Generally, all the responses demonstrated higher activity and yielded high competition with various previously reported homogenous and heterogeneous Catalytic systems. Easy catalyst and product recovery followed by six catalysts recycling were the added advantages of the prosed catalytic system.
