    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject novel compound that is useful as a solid catalyst for asymmetric synthesis and as an optical resolution agent, particularly for efficient optical resolution of amines and imines. SOLUTION: This compound is a zirconium phosphate modified with an asymmetric organic group represented by formula I (R is a hydrocarbon group, a hydroxyhydrocarbon or an alkoxyhydrocarbon group), typically a compound of formula II. The compound of formula I is prepared by reaction of (A) zirconium phosphate with (B) an optically active substituted epoxide of formula III. The molar ratio of the component A to the component B is 1/(4-10). A compound of formula I as an optical resolution agent is stirred together with an amine or imine in a proper solvent whereby these compounds are efficiently intercalated between layers to develop enatio-selectivity whereby optical resolution proceeds.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce an aliphatic polyester excellent in mechanical strengths and processibility by incorporating ester structures derived from a 3-alkoxy-1,2- propanediol in a specified content into the same. SOLUTION: This polyester comprises an ester moiety (A) of formula I and an ester moiety (B) of formula II and the molar fraction (r) of moiety B is 0.01-0.10. In the formulas, R1 is a 1-2C divalent aliphatic group; R2 is a 2-12C divalent aliphatic group; (p) is the molar fraction of moiety A contained in the polyester; and R3 is a 1-18C aliphatic group. Preferably, R1 is (CH2)2 and R2 is (CH2)4. This polyester is produced by subjecting an aliphatic dicarboxylic diester of formula III, an aliphatic diol of the formula: HO-R2=OH, and a 3-alkoxy-1,2-propanediol of formula IV to condensation reaction in an amount of the 3-alkoxy-1,2-propanediol used of 0.001-0.10 mol per mol of the aliphatic dicarboxylic diester.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To industrially advantageously produce a polyester copolymer the composition of which is almost equal to the ratio of raw materials charged and which has a high number average mol.wt. by subjecting a γ-lactone and a β-lactone to ring-opening copolymerization in the presence of a Lewis acid under a specified pressure and at a specified temperature so that the resultant copolymer has a specified number average mol.wt. SOLUTION: A γ-lactone of formula I and a β-lactone of formula II are subjected to ring-opening copolymerization in the presence of a Lewis acid under an ultrahigh pressure of 200 atm or higher and under heating at 30-130 deg.C to produce an aliphatic polyester copolymer having a number average mol.wt. of 5,000 or higher and a ratio of wt. average mol.wt. to number average mol.wt. of 1.1-1.3. Preferably, the copolymer contains 60-95% γ-lactone-derived ester units. It is preferable that the γ-lactone is γ-butryrolactone and that the β-lacone is β-butyrolactone. Examples of the Lewis acid are a boron halide, a metal halide, and a metal alkoxide.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a polyp-γ-butyrolactone having a higher molecular weight from industrially mass-produced cheap γ-butyrolactone by polymerizing γ- butyrolactone through ring opening by heating to a specified temperature under an ultrahigh atmosphere in the presence of a Lewis acid. SOLUTION: γ-Butyrolactone is polymerized through ring opening by heating to 40-160 deg.C. The Lewis acid used is exemplified by a boron halide, a metal halide, or a metal alkoxide and may be used in the form of a mixture with an organic acid. The amount of the Lewis acid used is usually 0.01-5 mol% based on the amount of the γ-butyrolactone used. The ultrahigh pressure ranges from at least 10,000 atm, desirably, at least 12,000 atm to at most about 20,000 atom. The reaction time is usually 10-70 hr. The molecular weight of the obtained poly-γ-butyrolactone ranges from at least 10,000 to at most, usually, about 50,000.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject catalyst which can produce condensed hydrocarbons in a high selectivity and yield from lower hydrocarbons by allowing an oxide superacid to carry lithium. SOLUTION: This catalyst is for oxidative condensation reaction of lower hydrocarbon such as methane in the presence of oxygen and is prepared by allowing (A) an oxide superacid (for example, acid radicals are supported by a carrier (A1 ) of an oxide of an element in groups 3A, 4A, 4B or group 8) or boron oxide or an oxide of an element in group 6B in the periodic table is supported by a carrier (A1 ) to carry (B) lithium. This catalyst is prepared, for example, by allowing the component A to contain a lithium compound such as lithium hydroxide in an amount of 0.2-10g of lithium compound (calculated as elementary lithium) per 100g of the component A by the impregnation, kneading or physical mixing and firing the mixture at 400-900 deg.C.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide a method for producing hydrogen without producing a by-product of carbon dioxide, having a low catalyst deteriorating speed and free from a trouble of the suppression of reaction attributable to the coexistence of carbon dioxide, etc., by thermally cracking a hydrocarbon in the presence of a fine carbonaceous substance having an outer surface area of larger than a specified value. CONSTITUTION: This is a method for producing hydrogen efficiently from a hydrocarbon such as methane without using a heavy metal catalyst. As far as a carbonaceous substance as the catalyst is fine powder having an outer surface area of >=1m /g, other conditions such as production method and raw materials are not specified. For instance, the carbonaceous catalyst is preferably soot, charcoal, ultra fine particle such as activated carbon, carbon nanotube, aggregate carbon or soot-like carbon obtained during arc discharge between carbon electric poles. The hydrocarbon for this process is preferably a hydrocarbon of a gaseous or liquid state at normal temperature having a large hydrogen/carbon ratio. In order to carry out the thermal cracking of the hydrocarbon efficiently, it is diluted with an inert gas such as argon, nitrogen or helium. Preferably, the concentration of the hydrocarbon in a reaction gas is 0.8-5vol.%, the reaction temperature is 400-1200 deg.C, and the contact time of the hydrocarbon gas with the catalyst surface is 0.1-50sec.
