In this research a reaction of dehydration of methanol to
dimethyl ether on a microporous amorphous alumina xerogel
catalyst was studied. The catalyst possess a high surface area
(475 m2/g).
A openchained Bispyridyl ether has been synthesized using ٢،٢- bis
[٢-cyanoethoxy]- diethylether as an intermediate from the reaction of
acrylonitrile with Diethylene glycol
The heterocyclization of ٢،٢- bis [٢-cyanoethoxy]- diethylether and
acet
ylene catalyzed by cyclopentadienyl-١،٥-cis,cis-cyclooctadiene-cobalt(I)
and light has been studied in toluene as solvent.
The Nitrile gave results of interest in the preparation of the openchained
bispyridyl ether compound ٢,٢-bis [٢-pyridylethoxy]-deithylether.
