Method for increasing the hydrogen:carbon ratio of an organic compound
Download pdf
Abstract/Description: | A method for increasing the hydrogen:carbon ratio of an organic compound is disclosed. The organic compound can be one having any of the following functions: hydroxyl, carbonyl, epoxide, acetal, ketal, hemiacetal and hemiketal. The method involves introducing the organic compound and a silicon hydride into a liquid which is either chemically inert or acidic and introducing BF3 into the liquid to produce a reaction product having a higher hydrogen:carbon ratio than the starting organic compound. Examples of organic compound starting materials disclosed include undecanal, benzaldehyde, p-methylbenzaldehyde, p-chlorobenzaldehyde, p-methoxybenzaldehyde, p-cyanobenzaldehyde, p-nitrobenzaldehyde, 2-undecanone, cyclohexanone, 2-methylcyclohexanone, adamantanone, p-cyanoacetophenone, fluorenone, 1-naphthaldehyde, p-nitroacetophenone, fructose and cotton. The use, as the silicon hydride, of triethylsilane, (R)-(+)-1-naphthylphenylmethylsilane, dimethylethylsilane, phenylneopentylmethylsilane, and of tri-n-hexylsilane is disclosed, while methylene chloride is disclosed as the liquid in which the reaction is conducted. |
