Usage

General Description

Butylsuccinic anhydride is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C8H12O3. It is a colorless, oily liquid with a pungent odor and is primarily used as an intermediate in chemical synthesis, particularly in the production of polymers and pharmaceuticals. Butylsuccinic anhydride is also used as a curing agent for epoxy resins and in the production of coatings, adhesives, and plastics. It is flammable and should be handled with care, as it can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system upon contact. Additionally, prolonged or repeated exposure to butylsuccinic anhydride may have harmful effects on the kidneys and liver.

Synthesis of a Pyridine–Zinc-Based Porous Organic Polymer for the Co-catalyst-Free Cycloaddition of Epoxides

The synthesis of solid catalysts for the co-catalyst-free cycloaddition of CO2 has attracted much attention. Herein, we report a hierarchical porous organic polymer, Py-Zn@MA, that is able to catalyze the cycloaddition reaction of epoxides and CO2 without using any additives or co-catalyst to afford turnover frequency (TOF) values as high as 250 and 97 h?1 at 130 °C by using pure and diluted CO2 (simulating flue gas), respectively. These results are superior to those obtained from previously reported heterogeneous co-catalyst-free systems. The high activity of Py-Zn@MA is mainly attributed to its bifunctional nature with ZnBr2 and pyridine activating the epoxide in a cooperative way. Notably, Py-Zn@MA can be easily prepared on a large scale without using any catalyst and the chemicals are cost effective. Moreover, Py-Zn@MA shows good substrate universality for the cycloaddition reactions of epoxides. Our designed porous organic polymer Py-Zn@MA material has the potential to serve as an efficient catalyst for the direct conversion of flue gas with epoxides into value-added cyclic carbonates.

Succinic anhydrides from epoxides

Catalysts and methods for the double carbonylation of epoxides are disclosed. Each epoxide molecule reacts with two molecules of carbon monoxide to produce a succinic anhydride. The reaction is facilitated by catalysts combining a Lewis acidic species with a transition metal carbonyl complex. The double carbonylation is achieved in single process by using reaction conditions under which both carbonylation reactions occur without the necessity of isolating or purifying the product of the first carbonylation.

Synthesis of monosubstituted succinic acids from tert-butylsuccinate

We report the preparation and alkylation of the dianion of t-butylsuccinate. This alkylation reaction has proven to be a useful method for the preparation of monosubstituted succinic acids and anhydrides.
