The research for production of jet fuel from petroleum displacement resources such as bio-mass, coal, natural gas mainly consists of three sub-research areas; the fisrt step is the pretreatment for producing a synthetic gas, and the next step is the Fischer-Trophsh reaction process for making hydrocarbons. The last is the upgrading technology for the hydrocarbons to fit a jet fuel specification via cracking and isomerization reactions. This talk presents reaserch trends and main technologies for production of jet fuel derived from petroleum displacement resources.

$TiO_2$ particles with various shapes were synthesized by using a modified sol-gel method with binary ionic liquids. The structural properties of the particles were significantly affected by the composition of ionic liquids. This is mainly attributed to the interaction between the organic solvent and ionic liquid at the interface leading to the formation of particle structure. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared samples was also examined for the degradation of 4-chlorophenol. Among the particles, $TiO_2$ prepared with 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate showed the best photocatalytic performance.

Lipase-catalyzed esterification of structural butanol isomers and n-butyric acid was investigated in supercritical carbon dioxide. The experiments were performed in a high pressure cell for 5 hrs with a stirring rate of 150 rpm at 323.15 K and 130 bar. The Candida Antarctica lipase B (CALB) was used in whole system as a catalyst. The experimental results were analyzed by GC-FID using a INNOWax capillary column. The conversion yield and the tendency of the esterification in supercritical carbon dioxide were compared with estimated results by molecular dynamics simulation. Based on the Ping-Pong Bi-Bi mechanism with competitive inhibition, each step of the reaction was optimized; using this result the transition state was predicted. Conformational preference of isomers was also analyzed using molecular dynamics simulations. This kind of approach will be further extended to the prediction of enzyme-catalyzed reactions using computers.

The reaction of 3,6-dichloro-2-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)quinoxaline(8) or 6-chloro-3-hydrazino-2-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)quinoxaline(9) with substituted anilines, sulfa drugs and heteroacyl chlorides gave 2-(pyrazol-1-yl)quinoxalines(10-12). The reaction of compound 9 with alkyl (ethoxymeth-ylene) cyanoacetates resulted in the intramolecular cyclization to give 2,3-di(pyrazol-1-yl)quinoxalines(13).

The fuel processor for the portable fuel cell includes multi-step processes consisting of hydrogen generator, heat generator and several CO clean-up stages. One of requirements of the fuel processor for portable fuel cell system is a rapid start-up time. Especially, the warm-up time for WGS reactor is crucial factors for total start-up time. In this paper, active heating protocol, which is the heating protocol of WGS reactor supplied by the oxidation of CO rich reformate in the initial stage, is used for a rapid start-up. The air stream fed to the inlet of WGS reactor rapidly oxidize the CO rich reformate in the WGS reactor. Therefore, CO concentration in reformate quickly stabilized at the desired concentration without CO surges.

4-Methyl-2,6,7-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo [2,2,2] octane 1-sulfide (BPS), 4-Methyl-2,6,7-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo[2,2,2] octane 1-oxide (BPO) and related monocyclic methylphosphates were prepared and the oxidation of BPS with MCPBA in chlorofrom or methanol was carried out to investigate the formation of reactive intermediates and reaction mechanism. BPO was the only product in chloroform while in methanol isomeric monocyclic methylphosphates were formed through opening of bicylic structure with subsequent phosphorylation of methanol by reactive intermediate formed in reaction. Formation of little amount of BPO was also observed. The structure of phosphorylating intermediate was probed with various spectroscopic methods and monocyclic methyl sulfenyl ester was suggested as a possible structure.

Vegetable oils, such as palm oil and cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), are used as major raw materials for bio-diesel in transportation and bio-heavy oil in power generation in South Korea. However, due to the high unsaturation degree caused by hydrocarbon double bonds and a high content of oxygen originating from the presence of carboxylic acid, the range of applications as fuel oil is limited. In this study, hydrotreating to saturate unsaturated hydrocarbons and remove oxygen in mixed bio-oil containing 1/1 v/v% palm oil and CNSL on monometallic catalysts (Ni and Cu) and bimetallic catalysts (Ni-Zn, Ni-Fe, Ni-Cu Ni-Co, Ni-Pd, and Ni-Pt) was perform under mild conditions (T = 250 ~ 400 ℃, P = 5 ~ 80 bar and LHSV = 1 h-1). The addition of noble metals and transition metals to Ni showed synergistic effects to improve both hydrogenation (HYD) and hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) activities. The most promising catalyst was Ni-Cu/��-Al2O3, and in the wide range of the Ni/Cu atomic ratio of 9/1~1/4, the conversion for HYD and HDO reactions of the catalysts were 90-93% and 95-99%, respectively. The tendency to exhibit almost constant reaction activity in these catalysts of different Ni/Cu atomic ratios implies a typical structure-insensitive reaction. The refined bio-oil produced by hydrotreating (HDY and HDO) had significantly lower iodine value, acid value, and kinetic viscosity than the raw bio-oil and the higher heating value (HHV) was increased by about 10%.

Conjugated linoleic acid methylester was synthesized through isomerization of linoleic acid methylester by using heterogeneous catalysts. As for heterogeneous catalysts, Ni supported zeolite type catalysts were used. H zoelite Y (HY) were ion exchanged with KCl aqueous solution to synthesize K zeolite Y (KY), and with impregnation method, Ni supported zeolite catalysts were synthesized. Catalysts were used after pre-treatment by using hydrogen. HY catalysts showed a high conversion at low temperatures; but a low selectivity for conjugation reaction. KY catalysts showed a low conversion at low temperatures; but a similar conversion with HY catalysts at high temperatures while a high selectivity at low temperatures. As a result, 4 wt% Ni/KY720 recorded the high conjugation yield of 63.4% at 220.

Ab initio calculations with STO-3G method were carried out on isomers of isobutylene dianion and dilithioisobutylene, and geometry, energy and Mulliken population were discussed. Energy of reaction, ${\Delta}$E, for isodesmic processes involving these species and relative heats of formation, ${\Delta}H_f$, estimated with ${\Delta}$E have shown that the contribution of "Y-aromaticity" to the structural stabilization of Y-type dianion is a tenuous one but the alkylation appears to proceed via the Y-type dilithio compound.

미생물학적 물질변환에 대해서는 인류 초기에서부터 효모를 이용하여 빵, 유제품, 알코올, 음료 등의 생산에 이용하여 왔으며, 주로 농업분야 또는 식품 분야에 국한되어 왔다. 1862년 Pasteur에 의해 bacterium xylinum의 순수 배양균주를 사용하여 알코올로부터 초산을 만드는데 응용한 것이 본격적인 시발점으로 보아 무방하겠다. 그 후 acetobacter aceti에 의한 포도당으로부터 gluconic acid 생산과 acetobacter sp.에서의 sorbitol로부터 sorbose 생산 등이 이루어졌고 정통적인 유기합성 방법에 의해 쉽게 만들 수 없는 반응들에 응용되기 시작하였다. 인류 초기의 혼합배양에 의한 물질변환에의 응용과는 달리 순수배양으로 미생물, 식물세포, 혹은 정제된 효소들에 의해 반응이 이루어지게 되었고 순수한 특정 물질에 대한 새로운 순수물질로의 선별적인 수식도 가능해지게 되었다. 특히 발효와 bioconversion의 차이는 racemates의 분리, 비슷한 반응성을 갖는 여러 기들로부터 특정기능을 갖는 기만의 선별적인 수식, 입체 이성체(chiral center)의 제작, 특정 비활성화된 탄소의 기능 등이 bioconversion에서만 수행할 수 있는 독특한 영역으로서 정밀화학분야, energy 분야, 환경오염분야에서의 특히 미래의 관심 기술로 대두되고 있다.
