Preparation and structure of [C10H9N]2CuBr2 and its catalytic activity in oxidative carbonylation of ethanol
The copper coordination compound [C10H9N]2CuBr2 was prepared by the reaction of 4-methylchinolin with copper bromide in ethanol solution. The compound was characterized with FTIR
EA
ICP-AES and XRD
and its catalytic performance in oxidative carbonylation of ethanol was investigated. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to analyze its structure
natural atomic charges and frontier orbital energy levels. The introduction of ligand could improve catalytic activity to prepare diethyl carbonate. The per pass conversion of ethanol could reach 21.5% under the reaction conditions of temperature 373 K
pressure 3.5 MPa
time 4 h and mass concentration of catalyst in ethanol 0.075 g·ml-1. Reaction mechanism study showed that the compound had moderate stability
which benefited insertion of CO (the rate-controlling step) and formation of intermediate. Therefore
