The invention relates to a method for preparation of (meth)acrylic acid esters from (meth)acrylic acid anhydrides.

Provided is a method of preparing L-homoserine, the method including contacting an L-homoserine derivative with a solid acid catalyst.

A catalytic membrane composite that includes porous supported catalyst particles durably enmeshed in a porous fibrillated polymer membrane is provided. The porous fibrillated polymer membrane may be manipulated to take the form of a tube, disc, or diced tape and used in multiphase reaction systems. The supported catalyst particles are composed of at least one finely divided metal catalyst dispersed on a porous support substrate. High catalytic activity is gained by the effective fine dispersion of the finely divided metal catalyst such that the metal catalyst covers the support substrate and/or is interspersed in the pores of the support substrate. In some embodiments, the catalytic membrane composite may be introduced to a stirred tank autoclave reactor system, a continuous flow reactor system, or a Parr Shaker reaction system and used to effect the catalytic reaction.

The present invention discloses in situ generated catalyst bound alpha radical compound represented by formula (I) or (II) and a single pot process for the preparation of oxo compounds by using in situ generated catalyst bound alpha radical compound of formula (I) or (II).

A composition, comprising: trisilylamine and less than 5 ppmw of halogen. A method of making a silylamine comprising combining ammonia and a compound comprising aminosilane functionality, where the compound comprising aminosilane functionality is according to formula (I) R.sup.1 N(R.sup.2)a(SiH.sub.3).sub.2−a (I), where R.sup.1 is an organic polymer, a C-.sub.1-20 hydrocarbyl group or —SiR.sup.3.sub.3.sup.1, where R.sup.3 is C.sub.1-6 hydrocarbyl, R.sup.2 is a C-.sub.1-20 hydrocarbyl group, H, or —SiR.sup.3.sub.3.sup.1, where R.sup.3 is as defined above, subscript a is 0 or 1, provided that R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may be the same or different except if R.sup.1 is phenyl, R.sup.2 is not phenyl, under sufficient conditions to cause a reaction to form a silylamine and a byproduct.

Methods of preparing organosilica materials using a starting material mixture comprising at least one compound of Formula [(RO).sub.2SiCH.sub.2].sub.3 (Ia) and at least one compound of Formula [R′ROSiCH.sub.2].sub.3 (Ib), wherein each R′ independently represents an RO—, an R group, or an (RO).sub.3Si—CH.sub.2— group, at least one R′ being (RO).sub.3Si—CH.sub.2—; and R represents a C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl group, in the absence of a structure directing agent and/or porogen are provided herein. Processes of using the organosilica materials, e.g., for gas separation, etc., are also provided herein.

Provided is a method of producing a film-coated cylindrical honeycomb structure formed with a coating liquid on an outer portion of a cylindrical honeycomb structure including partition walls and the outer portion, the partition walls forming a plurality of cells, the outer portion serving as a circumferential side. In the method, the cylindrical honeycomb structure is mounted between at least two rollers such that the circumferential side of the cylindrical honeycomb structure contacts with circumferential sides of the rollers, the coating liquid supplied from an application part is deposited on the cylindrical honeycomb structure while being rotated, and then the deposited coating liquid is dried or cured to form the film on the outer portion.

A method for preparation of (meth)acrylate esters of polysiloxanes. The method comprises contacting in the presence of zirconium acetylacetonate or hafnium acetylacetonate: (i) a polysiloxane having at least two hydroxyl groups, each of which is attached to a carbon atom, and (ii) a C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl (meth)acrylate.
