The photoisomerization of the BF3, BCl3 and BBr3 complexes of eucarvone (2,6,6-trimethylcyclohepta-2,4-dienone), 1, have been examined. Irradiation of these zwitterions at low temperature gave, after subsequent recovery of decomplexed materials, 3,7,7-trimethylbicyclo-[4.1.0]hept-2-en-4-one, 2, 2-methyl-5-isopropylphenol, 3, 2-methyl-6-isopropylphenol, 4, dehydrocamphor, 5, and carvone, 6. In the case of 1•BF3 and 1•BCl3 the initial photoproducts were shown to be the complexes of 2, 3, 4, and 5. The complexes of 6 were shown to arise from a secondary photoisomerization of 2•BX3. It was not possible to establish the primary product distribution, obtained from 1•BBr3 as further photoisomerization of 2•BBr3 occurred even at very low degrees of conversion. The mechanisms and synthetic utility of these reactions is discussed.

AbstractWe have recently found that uranium and plutonium metals will react with nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) at temperatures below 120°C. These are the first reported instances of such low temperature fluorination reactions using NF3 and implicate metal catalyzed dissociation of the NF3 bond. We additionally present preliminary evidences for a surface mediated product distribution. Reaction of uranium metal with NF3 promotes products that are apparently determined by the concentration of the fluorinating reagent between temperatures of 60 to 120°C.

AbstractThe low-temperature Fischer-Tropsch (LTFT) process aims to produce heavy cuts such as wax and diesel. For many years, there have been studies and improvements on the LTFT process to make the existing reactors more efficient. Recent studies have proposed innovative configurations such as monolithic loop and membrane reactors as well as microchannel reactor, which improved the performance of LTFT synthesis. This persuades us to update the existing knowledge about the available reactors. Some fundamental features of the current reactors, which belong to the classes of conventional reactors (fixed-bed reactors and slurry reactors) and innovative reactors, are discussed to assist the selection of the most efficient reactors specifically for heavy-cuts production. Published experimental and theoretical works with respect to developments in reactor technology and significant advances in catalysis (such as using structured packing, foams, and knitted wire as catalyst supports due to their excellent radial mixing properties) of the FT process are analyzed and discussed. Consequently, it is shown that the LTFT innovative reactors have higher CO conversions and selectivity of desired heavy cuts. Furthermore, the place of innovative reactors among conventional reactors in terms of effective process parameters on the product distribution has been estimated.
