It′s just a phase: The title reaction sequence of para‐quinone methides (p‐QMs) has been developed with malonates under phase‐transfer catalysis. The reaction also offers an alternative route to asymmetric construction of diarylmethine stereocenters in excellent enantioselectivities and high yields.
Methane, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide coexist after the injection of CO 2 /N 2 mixture into CH 4 hydrate. For a better understanding of CH 4 recovery and CO 2 sequestration by gas exchange involving N 2 , the hydrate phase equilibrium of CH 4 /N 2 /CO 2 ternary gas mixtures in pure water system was determined in a sapphire cell using the pressure-search method under isothermal conditions. The hydrate equilibrium data were analyzed with respect to the concentration of CH 4 and the ratio of N 2 /CO 2 . The cage occupancies of CH 4 , N 2 , and CO 2 were calculated by Chen−Guo hydrate model and CSMHYD program. The result revealed that the cage-specific guest distributions and preferential partitioning of guest molecules in cages were involved in the formation of mixed gas hydrates. The enthalpy of the ternary hydrates was calculated using the Clausius−Clapeyron equation. It was deduced that the enthalpy of the mixed hydrates was changed with the occupancy of CO 2 molecules in large cavities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
