Abstract
Impact in Continuous Flow Heated Mechanochemistry (ICHeM) was utilized for the biphasic acetylation of glycerol with immiscible acetic anhydride in the presence of homogeneous acid catalysts. This innovative technology combines efficient phase dispersion with continuous flow, offering the following benefits: (i) improved mixing of the two immiscible components (liquid glycerol and highly reactive acetic anhydride); (ii) mechanochemical energy generated by bead impact in continuous flow, eliminating the need for additional heating energy; and (iii) an alternative to single- and double-screw extruders, which are ineffective with liquid reaction media. Under our optimized conditions, triacetin “t” can be obtained with a 99% yield (100% conversion and 99% selectivity) in a solvent-free biphasic continuous flow process with a residence time of 15–30 min, using efficient homogeneous Lewis acids like iron triflate II or Brönsted acids like sulfuric acid.
期刊介绍：
The journal Organic Process Research & Development serves as a communication tool between industrial chemists and chemists working in universities and research institutes. As such, it reports original work from the broad field of industrial process chemistry but also presents academic results that are relevant, or potentially relevant, to industrial applications. Process chemistry is the science that enables the safe, environmentally benign and ultimately economical manufacturing of organic compounds that are required in larger amounts to help address the needs of society. Consequently, the Journal encompasses every aspect of organic chemistry, including all aspects of catalysis, synthetic methodology development and synthetic strategy exploration, but also includes aspects from analytical and solid-state chemistry and chemical engineering, such as work-up tools，process safety, or flow-chemistry. The goal of development and optimization of chemical reactions and processes is their transfer to a larger scale; original work describing such studies and the actual implementation on scale is highly relevant to the journal. However, studies on new developments from either industry, research institutes or academia that have not yet been demonstrated on scale, but where an industrial utility can be expected and where the study has addressed important prerequisites for a scale-up and has given confidence into the reliability and practicality of the chemistry, also serve the mission of OPR&D as a communication tool between the different contributors to the field.
