The approximate rates and stoichiometry of the reaction of excess lithium tris(diethylamino)aluminum hydride (LTDEA) with selected organic compounds containing representative functional groups under standardized condition (tetrahydrofuran, 0$^{\circ}C$) were examined in order to define the characteristics of the reagent for selective reductions. The reducing ability of LTDEA was also compared with those of the parent lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) and lithium tris(dibutylamino)aluminum hydride (LTDBA). In general, the reactivity toward organic functionalities is in order of LAH${\gg}$LTDEA${\geq}$LTDBA. LTDEA shows a unique reducing characteristics. Thus, benzyl alcohol and phenol evolve hydrogen slowly. The rate of hydrogen evolution of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols is distinctive: 1-hexanol evolves hydrogen completely in 6 h, whereas 3-hexanol evolves hydrogen very slowly. However, 3-ethyl-3-pentanol does not evolve any hydrogen under these reaction conditions. Primary amine, such as n-hexylamine, evolves only 1 equivalent of hydrogen. On the other hand, thiols examined are absolutely inert to this reagent. LTDEA reduces aldehydes, ketones, esters, acid chlorides, and epoxides readily to the corresponding alcohols. Quinones, such as p-benzoquinone and anthraquinone, are reduced to the corresponding diols without hydrogen evolution. However, carboxylic acids, anhydrides, nitriles, and primary amides are reduced slowly, where as tertiary amides are readily reduced. Finally, sulfides and sulfoxides are reduced to thiols and sulfides, respectively, without evolution of hydrogen. In addition to that, the reagent appears to be an excellent partial reducing agent to convert esters, primary carboxamides, and aromatic nitriles into the corresponding aldehydes. Free carboxylic acids are also converted into aldehydes through treatment of acyloxy-9-BBN with this reagent in excellent yields.

The approximate rates and stoichiometry of the reaction of excess sodium diethyldihydroaluminate (SDDA) with 68 selected organic compounds containing representative functional groups were examined under standard conditions (THF-toluene, $0^{\circ}C$ in order to compare its reducing characteristics with lithium aluminum hydride (LAH), aluminum hydride, and diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAH) previously examined, and enlarge the scope of its applicability as a reducing agent. Alcohols, phenol, thiols and amines evolve hydrogen rapidly and quantitatively. Aldehydes and ketones of diverse structure are reduced rapidly to the corresponding alcohols. Reduction of norcamphor gives 11% exo-and 89% endo-norborneol. Conjugated aldehydes such as cinnamaldehyde are rapidly and cleanly reduced to the corresponding allylic alcohols. p-Benzoquinone is mainly reduced to hydroquinone. Hexanoic acid and benzoic acid liberate hydrogen rapidly and quantitatively, however reduction proceeds very slowly. Acid chlorides and esters tested are all reduced rapidly to the corresponding alcohols. However cyclic acid anhydrides such as succinic anhydride are reduced to the lactone stage rapidly, but very slowly thereafter. Although alkyl chlorides are reduced very slowly alkyl bromides, alkyl iodides and epoxides are reduced rapidly with an uptake of 1 equiv of hydride. Styrene oxide is reduced to give 1-phenylethanol quantitatively. Primary amides are reduced very slowly; however, tertiary amides take up 1 equiv of hydride rapidly. Tertiary amides could be reduced to the corresponding aldehydes in very good yield ( > 90%) by reacting with equimolar SDDA at room temperature. Hexanenitrile is reduced moderately accompanying 0.6 equiv of hydrogen evolution, however the reduction of benzonitrile proceeds rapidly to the imine stage and very slowly thereafter. Benzonitrile was reduced to give 90% yield of benzaldehyde by reaction with 1.1 equiv of hydride. Nitro compounds, azobenzene and azoxybenzene are reduced moderately at $0^{\circ}C$, but nitrobenzene is rapidly reduced to hydrazobenzene stage at room temperature. Cyclohexanone oxime is reduced to the hydroxylamine stage in 12 h and no further reaction is apparent. Pyridine is reduced sluggishly at $0^{\circ}C$, but moderately at room temperature to 1,2-dihydropyridine stage in 6 h; however further reaction is very slow. Disulfides and sulfoxides are reduced rapidly, whereas sulfide, sulfone, sulfonic acid and sulfonate are inert under these reaction conditions.

산화탈황반응은 디벤조티오펜(dibenzothiophenes, DBTs)과 같이 제거하기 어려운 구조의 황화합물들을 선택적으로 산화하여 설폭사이드(sulfoxide)와 설폰(sulfone) 등의 형태로 전환하고, 이들을 추출과 흡착에 의해 제거할 수 있기 때문에 최근 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 선박용 경유의 산화탈황반응을 회분식반응기에서 산화제 과산화수소($H_2O_2$)와 함께 다양한 헤테로폴리산 담지촉매에 의해 수행하였다. 제조 촉매들은 X-선 회절분석(XRD), X-선 형광분석(XRF), X-선 광전자분광분석(XPS) 및 질소 흡착등온선 등의 기법에 의해 특성분석이 이루어졌다. 유망한 지지체인 실리카에 30 wt% 담지된 헤테로폴리산 촉매 활성 순위는 황 제거율 기준으로, $30\;H_3PW_{12}/SiO_2$ > $30\;H_3PMo_{12}/SiO_2$ > $30\;H_4SiW_{12}/SiO_2$ 순으로 나타났으며, 이는 헤테로폴리산의 고유 산세기에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. $30\;H_3PW_{12}/SiO_2$ 촉매는 반응 온도 $30^{\circ}C$, 촉매량 $0.025g\;mL^{-1}$ (cat./oil), 반응 시간 1 h의 반응조건 하에서 약 66%의 가장 높은 초기 황 제거율을 보였다. 그러나 $H_3PW_{12}/SiO_2$ 촉매의 재사용성 실험을 통해 확연하게 활성이 저하됨을 확인하였으며 이는 활성 성분인 $H_3PW_{12}$의 용출에 기인한 것으로 보인다. $H_3PW_{12}/SiO_2$ 촉매로의 세슘 양이온($Cs^+$) 도입에 의한 용해도의 변화와 함께 촉매의 안정성이 개선되었으며, $Cs^+$ 이온교환 된 촉매는 최소 5회 이상 재사용이 가능함을 확인하였다.
