Deep Eutectic Solvents: platform for asymmetric catalysisRos Ñíguez, Diego 24 July 2019 (has links)
Capítulo 1. Adiciones Michael asimétricas organocatalizadas en líquidos eutécticos. Siguiendo los principios de la “Química Verde” se desarrolló un sistema catalítico basado en disolventes eutécticos y organocatalizadores quirales derivados de 2-amino benzimidazol. Este nuevo sistema fue empleado para catalizar la adición enantioselectiva de compuestos de 1,3-dicarbonílicos a β-nitroestirenos. El procedimiento evita el uso de disolventes orgánicos volátiles tóxicos como medio reacción, proporcionando acceso a moléculas quirales altamente funcionalizadas de forma selectiva y eficiente. Además, la reacción puede realizarse a una escala de gramos y a su vez este sistema catalítico es fácilmente reciclable y reutilizable durante cuatro ciclos, lo que da lugar a un procedimiento limpio, económico, sencillo y escalable que cumple la mayoría de los criterios necesarios para ser un proceso medioambientalmente benigno y sostenible. Los estudios de RMN realizados a la mezcla organocatalizador-líquido eutéctico han confirmado el papel clave de los enlaces de hidrógeno entre el disolvente y el organocatalizador quiral, que permiten su recuperación y la reciclabilidad del sistema. Capítulo 2. α-Aminación electrofílica asimétrica organocatalizada en líquidos eutécticos. Empleando el sistema catalítico basado en el uso de catalizadores quirales de 2-benzoimidazol y líquidos eutécticos se realizó la α-aminación enantioselectiva de compuestos de 1,3-dicarbonílicos. Con este procedimiento, se evita el uso de compuestos orgánicos volátiles tóxicos como medios de reacción. Las moléculas quirales altamente funcionalizadas sintetizadas, que son importantes en la síntesis de productos naturales, se sintetizaron mediante un protocolo eficiente y estereoselectivo. Además, la reacción puede llevarse a cabo para la síntesis de un gramo de producto, siendo posible el reciclaje del sistema catalítico durante al menos cinco ciclos de reacción consecutivos. Este procedimiento representa un método barato, simple, limpio y escalable que cumple con la mayoría de los principios para ser considerado un proceso medioambientalmente benigno y sostenible. Capítulo 3. Líquidos eutécticos quirales. Diferentes mezclas eutécticas basadas en prolina fueron empleadas en la adición Michael asimétrica de cetonas sobre nitroalquenos. En vista de los resultados, y los estudios de 1H-RMN realizados, se confirmó una relación entre la conversión y selectividad del proceso con la constante asociación de los componentes de la mezcla eutéctica. Con estos datos un nuevo disolvente eutéctico quiral a base de bromuro de (S)-N,N,N,-trimetil-1-(pirrolidin-2-il)-metanamina y glicerol fue diseñado y sintetizado con éxito. Este sistema catalítico se mostró eficiente en la adición Michael de ciclohexanona a β-nitroestirenos, obteniendo selectividades moderadas en condiciones suaves. El sistema catalítico eutéctico fue recuperado fácilmente y reciclado hasta cinco veces en la adición de ciclohexanona a β-nitroestireno sin pérdida significativa de actividad catalítica.

Prospective Life Cycle Assessment of an Electrochemical Hydrogenation Process Over a Nickel Foam Cathode / Prospektiv livscykelanalys av en elektrokemisk hydrogeneringsprocess över en nickelskumkatodAppiah-Twum, Hanson January 2022 (has links)
The need for a safe and sustainable chemical industry has called for the development of emerging technologies with improved environmental performance. In this study, an emerging electrochemical hydrogenation process over Ni foam is being developed at the laboratory scale with an expectation of less environmental impacts than a conventional palladium on carbon hydrogenation process. To understand better the potential environmental performance of the process at the matured scale, a prospective life cycle assessment was conducted to identify environmental hotspots for early process improvement. There is no standardised method for prospective life cycle assessment, hence a methodological recommendation in conducting a prospective LCA was proposed through a literature review. The proposed methodology consists of three steps which are a pre-inventory stage, an inventory stage, and a post-inventory stage. These steps have been connected to the ISO 14044 standard methodology for conducting an LCA where the pre-inventory stage relates to the goal and scope definition, the inventory stage to inventory analysis, and the post-inventory connected to both the inventory analysis, impact assessment, and interpretation stages of the ISO methodology. The proposed methodology was applied to the electrochemical hydrogenation process over nickel foam cathode where a three-case scenario (lab, worst- and best-case scenarios) was investigated to identify hotspots for early process improvement. The theoretical upscaled process had a better environmental performance compared to the lab process. The identified hotspots in the upscaled process (worst-case) include electricity process, evaporation process, and solvent recycling process for ecotoxicity (freshwater), human toxicity (cancer), human toxicity (non-cancer), climate change and resource use (minerals and metals) impact categories. The best-case scenario had its identified hotspots in the electricity process, solvent recycling process, and distillation process. This shows the importance of circularity, recycling, and lean manufacturing to the pillars of sustainability. Reducing resource consumption per unit product while increasing the recycling efficiency of process waste will be imperative towards ensuring a green chemical industry. Based on the results, a reduction of electricity demand for the process, utilisation of an alternative less energy-consuming processes, or cleaner energy sourcing could further improve the potential environmental performance of the process. Based on the quality of the data used, it is recommended that the outcome of the study be cautiously interpreted.

INCORPORATION OF BIO-BASED MOLECULES IN SILICONES THROUGH MICHAEL ADDITIONSLu, Guanhua 24 November 2023 (has links)
Silicone stands as an indispensable material for numerous applications; however, its high energy-cost synthesis poses significant environmental challenges. To address these concerns, bio-based silicone has gained considerable attention, showcasing its potential to dilute energy density while offering inherent functional benefits. Despite promising prospects, existing incorporation methods often involve protecting groups, rare metal catalysts, and multistep synthesis, which contradict green chemistry principles. The aza- Michael reaction emerges as a superior choice due to its high atom economy and mild reaction conditions. However, it still suffers from prolonged reaction times, hindering its overall efficiency and sustainability. This thesis utilizes self-activated beta-hydroxy acrylates to greatly enhance aza-Michael kinetics, achieving a 3-fold rate enhancement in solvent-free silicone synthesis. This fast aza-Michael reaction acts as the platform for the incorporation of Vitamin C and amino acids into silicone materials. Vitamin C-modified silicone demonstrates the potential for controlled antioxidant activity release, while amino acid-functionalized silicones are synthesized using choline amino acid ionic liquids, presenting a protecting-group-free and solvent-free synthesis method. Moreover, the synthesized choline amino acid-functional polymers and elastomers are investigated for their dielectric properties revealing promising potential for dielectric elastomer actuator applications. These innovative methods offer green alternatives for incorporating hydrophilic biomolecules into hydrophobic silicone systems, providing new functionalities that address both environmental and functional requirements. / Thesis / Doctor of Science (PhD)
