An ecofriendly catalytic route for selective synthesis of $N$-substituted azacyclopentanes, nitrogen-containing heterocyclic intermediates for many bioactive compounds, was established by carrying out $N$-heterocyclization (di $N$-alkylation) of primary amines with 1,4-dichloro butane (as dialkylating agent) using catalytic amount of hydrotalcite as solid base catalyst. The hydrotalcite was found to be efficient solid base catalyst for di $N$-alkylation of different primary amines (aniline, benzyl amine, cyclohexyl amine and n-butyl amine) giving 82 to 96% conversion (at optimized reaction condition) of 1,4-dichloro butane and > 99% selectivity of respective $N$-substituted azacyclopentanes within 30 min. under solvent free condition. The reaction parameters significantly influence the conversion of 1,4-dichloro butane to $N$-substituted azacyclopentanes. The nature of substituent present on amino group affects the reactivity of amine substrates for di $N$-alkylation reaction with 1,4-dichloro butane. The 1,4-dichloro butane was found to be highly reactive alkylating agent for di $N$-alkylation of amines as compared to 1,4-dihydroxy butane. The reusability of the catalyst and its chemical stability in the reaction was demonstrated.

We investigated catalytic activity of ion-exchange resins in acetalization of 1,2-propylene glycol with acetaldehyde. The impacts of reaction variables, such as temperature, reaction time, catalyst loading and feedstock composition, on the conversion of 1,2-propylene glycol were measured. The life of the catalyst was also studied. Furthermore, the reaction kinetics of 1,2-propylene glycol acetalization was studied. It was found that reaction rate followed the first-order kinetics to acetaldehyde and 1,2-propylene glycol, respectively. Therefore, overall acetalization reaction should follow the second-order reaction kinetics, expressed as. Key words: 1,2-propylene Glycol, 2,4-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane, Ion-exchange Resin, Polyhydroxy Compounds, Acetalization $r=kC^{nA}_AC^{nB}_B=19.74e^{\frac{-6650}{T}}C^1_AC^1_B$.

A peroxopolyoxotungsten-based ionic hybrid was synthesized by anion-change of peroxopolyoxometalate (POM) $PW_4O{_{24}}^{3-}$ with dicationic long-chain alkyl imidazolium ionic liquids. The characterization was conducted by FT-IR, TGA, $^1H$-NMR and CHN Elemental analyses. Its catalytic performance was evaluated by the epoxidation of soybean oil with $H_2O_2$ under solvent-free condition, including testing of organic cations influence, catalytic reusability and reaction conditions. The catalyst was proved to be a highly efficient recyclable catalyst for epoxidation of various vegetable oils with $H_2O_2$, showing high $H_2O_2$ utilization efficiency, high catalytic activity, convenient recovery and good reuse ability.

The catalysis of carbon black was investigated for the production of hydrogen by the catalytic decomposition of propane-butane mixture gas in this study. The thermal and the catalytic decompositions of hydrocarbons were performed at the temperature range of 500 - $1100^{\circ}C$, respectively. The conversions of hydrocarbons and the mole traction of hydrogen increased with increasing the reaction temperature and the conversion of hydrocarbons in the catalytic decomposition process was approximately liked with that obtained by the thermal decomposition. However, the mole traction of hydrogen produced in the catalytic decomposition process was higher than that obtained from the thermal decomposition. Therefore, it was concluded that the catalysis for the decomposition of hydrocarbons is occurred over carbon black used as catalyst. The mole traction of hydrogen produced by the catalytic decomposition of hydrocarbons also increased with increasing the mole ratio of $C_3H_8/C_4H_{10}$ in propane and butane mixture gas at $700^{\circ}C$. Therefore, it was concluded that the catalytic decomposition of the high propane mixture gas is more effectively for the production of hydrogen.

Pd catalyst have been used in hydrogenation, oxidation, and low temperature combustion reaction. Recently, it has been candidated as a possible reagents in the partial oxidation of methanol reformers of the fuel cell. Pd catalysts, even though it is very precious and expensive, catalytic functioning is good, but it still need to be improved in the matter of durability and low catalytic activity after calcination. In this study, we synthesize the improved Pd catalyst and study their chemical functioning.

팔라듐 촉매는 주로 수소화 반응, 산화반응, 저온 연소반응 등에 사용된다. 특히 최근에 연료전지에 많이 시도되고 있는 알코올 등의 개질을 통한 수소가스의 발생을 할 경우에도 이 팔라듐 촉매의 가능성에 상당한 관심이 증폭되어 왔다. 귀금속 촉매인 팔라듐 촉매가 성능이 우수하지만 고가이고 내구성과 소성후의 성능저하 등이 해결해야 할 과제로 남아 있다. 본 연구에서는 내구성과 소성 후에도 성능의 저하가 없는 팔라듐 촉매를 합성하고 반응성을 연구하였다.

The ytterbium catalyst immobilized on the cross-linked poly(4-vinylpyridine/styrene) copolymer (P/S-Yb) was applied in the Mannich-type, three component one-pot synthesis of $\beta$-aminoketones. This catalytic system showed excellent catalytic activity and selectivity which resulted in the exclusive formation of $\beta$-aminoketone. The applicability of this immobilized catalyst system was shown by the reusability test and again highlighted by the synthesis of a $\beta$-aminoketone library using a broad range of substrates.

The kinetic features of polymerization with an active site comprising cobalt dihalides ($CoX_2$, where X=Cl, Br, I) activated by methylaluminoxane (MAO) were investigated in 1,3-butadiene polymerization. The catalytic system exhibited the characteristic features of living polymerization. The initiation ($k_i$) and propagation ($k_p$) rate coefficients were estimated using the kinetic model for slow initiation previously reported by Shiono et al. The energy of activation fur the propagation reaction was calculated to be 27-30 $kJmol^{-1}$. The marked changes in reaction rate observed with different halides could be adequately described in terms of variations in the initiation process, with the same Arrhenius curve fitting propagation rate coeffcients estimated from all three halides, suggesting that the halide does not participate in the growing chain end.

The reaction of aryl halides with phenoxides and alkoxides were investigated under phase transfer catalytic conditions. 2,4-Dinitro- and 4-nitrohalobenzenes reacted readily with phenoxides in NaOH(aq)-benzene in the presence of Bu4N+Br, affording the products quantitatively. Although the aryl halides did not react with alkoxides under the same condition, the reactions were completed within 2 hours at room temperature when conducted under solid-liquid phase transfenr catalytic condition. The reactivity of aryl halides was in the order, Ar = 2,4-dinitrophenyl > 4-nitrophenyl, and X = F > Cl, consistent with the SNAr mechanism. The reactivity of oxyanions increased with the change of reaction condition from liquid-liquid to solid-liquid phase transfer catalysis. The results were explained with the concentration and the degree of hydration of the anion in benzene.
