Usage

Description

Cyclopentanemethanol is a chemical compound with a cyclopentane ring and a hydroxyl group attached to a methyl group. It is an organic compound that has potential applications in various industries due to its unique chemical structure and properties.

Uses

Used in Chemical Research:
Cyclopentanemethanol is used as a substrate in chemical reactions for studying catalytic reduction processes. In one specific study, it was used to investigate the catalytic reduction of 6-bromo-1-hexene by nickel (I) salen electrogenerated at a glassy carbon electrode in acetonitrile containing tetramethylammonium tetrafluoroborate. This research was conducted using cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential electrolysis, which are techniques employed to understand the reaction mechanisms and optimize the reaction conditions.
While the provided materials do not explicitly mention other industries or applications for Cyclopentanemethanol, it is worth noting that compounds with similar structures are often used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other specialty chemicals. Therefore, it is possible that Cyclopentanemethanol could have potential uses in these areas as well, pending further research and development.

Titania-supported molybdenum oxide combined with Au nanoparticles as a hydrogen-driven deoxydehydration catalyst of diol compounds

A heterogenous catalyst for the deoxydehydration (DODH) reaction was developed using less expensive Mo than Re as the active center. The combination of Mo with anatase-rich TiO2 and Au as the support and promoter for H2 activation, respectively, can selectively convert 1,4-anhydroerythritol to 2,5-dihydrofuran, which is a typical DODH model reaction, with H2 as a reducing agent. Loading of Au on TiO2 by the deposition-precipitation method gave the more active MoOx-Au/TiO2 catalyst (MoOx-dpAu/TiO2) than that obtained by the impregnation method (MoOx-impAu/TiO2), and the activity difference is derived from the smaller size of Au particles in MoOx-dpAu/TiO2 (3-5 nm) than that in MoOx-impAu/TiO2 (>25 nm). The MoOx-dpAu/TiO2 catalyst could be applied to the DODH reaction of linear alkyl vicinal diols and cis-1,2-cyclohexanediol. The characterization with XRD, STEM, H2-TPR, XAFS and XPS revealed that the MoIV oxide cluster species on the surface of anatase TiO2 particles are responsible for the DODH reaction.

The Effect of Sulfonate Groups in the Structure of Porous Aromatic Frameworks on the Activity of Platinum Catalysts Towards Hydrodeoxygenation of Biofuel Components

Abstract: Platinum catalysts based on porous aromatic frameworks (PAF-30 and PAF-30–SO3H) have been synthesized. Properties of the obtained catalysts have been assessed via hydrogenation of guaiacol, veratrole, and pyrocatechol at 250°С and hydrogen pressure 3.0 MPa in isopropanol medium. It has been shown that the presence of acidic sites in the catalyst significantly increases the yield of deoxygenation products. The effect of the substrate structure on the rate of its hydrodeoxygenation and the mechanism of the occurring processes have been studied. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
