  • an investigation of Knoevenagel Condensation reaction in microreactors using a new zeolite catalyst
    Applied Catalysis A-general, 2004
    Co-Authors: Xiongfu Zhang, R M Martinaranda, King Lun Yeung
    Abstract:

    Abstract New basic zeolite catalysts obtained by grafting amino groups onto NaX and CsNaX zeolites exhibit excellent catalytic activities for Knoevenagel Condensation reaction between benzaldehyde and ethyl cyanoacetate (ECA), ethyl acetoacetate (EAA) and diethyl malonate (DEM). The CsNaX-NH 2 catalyst also displays higher conversion compared to aminopropylated MCM-41. Knoevenagel Condensation reaction in a CsNaX zeolite microreactor performed better than the traditional packed bed reactor (PBR) with an order of magnitude higher productivity (i.e. moles ethyl 2-cyano-3 phenylacrylate produced per hour for each gram catalyst). A nearly fourfold increase in reaction conversion was obtained for the microreactor when CsNaX-NH 2 catalyst was used. A membrane microreactor was obtained by incorporating a water-selective, NaA membrane to the multi-channel microreactor. The selective removal of water byproduct during the reaction led to a 25% improvement in reaction conversion for both catalysts.

  • Knoevenagel Condensation reaction in a membrane microreactor
    Chemical Communications, 2003
    Co-Authors: R M Martinaranda, King Lun Yeung
    Abstract:

    A multi-channel membrane microreactor was fabricated and tested for Knoevenagel Condensation of benzaldehyde and ethyl cyanoacetate using Cs-exchanged faujasite NaX as the catalyst; the membrane microreactor achieves supra-eqiulibrium conversion at higher product purity.

  • highly efficient Knoevenagel Condensation reactions catalyzed by a proline functionalized polyacrylonitrile fiber
    Chinese Chemical Letters, 2013
    Co-Authors: Guowei Li, Jia Xiao, Wenqin Zhang
    Abstract:

    Abstract A new proline-functionalized fiber catalyst was employed for the first time to catalyze the Knoevenagel Condensation reactions between aromatic aldehydes and ethyl cyanoacetate or malononitrile. This fiber catalyst exhibits a high efficiency (0.5–2 mol% of catalyst with yields of 90%–99%) and excellent reusability (up to 20 times) without the need for additional treatments.

  • Knoevenagel Condensation catalyzed by a tertiary amine functionalized polyacrylonitrile fiber
    Green Chemistry, 2011
    Co-Authors: Guowei Li, Jia Xiao, Wenqin Zhang
    Abstract:

    A new fiber catalyst for Knoevenagel Condensation has been prepared by aminating a commercially available polyacrylonitrile fiber with N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine. The fiber catalyst was characterized by elemental analysis, X-ray powder diffraction spectra (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transfer infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The Knoevenagel Condensation proceeded smoothly in the presence of the fiber catalyst and the products were obtained in excellent yields. This catalyst is applicable to a wide range of aromatic aldehydes. Moreover, the reaction can be easily carried out in different solvents of varying polarities. The newly developed fiber catalyst was also found to exhibit excellent recyclability and reusability (up to 10 times) without any additional treatment.
