A mole fraction of aluminum trichloride in the acidic ionic liquid of aluminum trichloride is from 0.5 to 0.9, a feeding rate of the reaction feed is 0.1-10 g/min, and a temperature for the isomerization is between 25-120° C.

Abstract: A process for isomerization of tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene using a supported acidic ionic liquid as catalyst is provided. In the presence of the supported acidic ionic liquid, endo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene is isomerized to exo-tetrahydrodicyclo-pentadiene, wherein the supported acidic ionic liquid includes a porous support and an acidic ionic liquid, and the acidic ionic liquid includes an aluminum halide, and a quaternary ammonium halide or a quaternary phosphonium halide. The porous support is impregnated with the acidic ionic liquid. Furthermore, under different reaction conditions, the exo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene product can be isomerized to adamantane in the presence of such a supported acidic ionic liquid.

Abstract: The present invention is one kind of gasoline additives. The compounds consist of tertiary amine, amide and poly(oxybutylene) backbone in the same molecule. The process of making this type of products required an initiator containing primary amine and tertiary amine as the starting diamines. The primary amine will be converted into amide, while the tertiary amine remained intact. Then the amide is converted into butoxylates through butoxylation at CON—H position. The preparation therefore involved two steps: (1) amidation of diamines containing primary/tertiary amines with ethyl acetate to form amidoamines, and (2) butoxylation of this amidoamines to poly(oxybutylene)amidoamine. The product is gasoline soluble and can be used as additive having good performance of detergency and octane requirement reduction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel antifoulant which is prepared by the Mannich reaction of phenolic compounds, formaldehyde, and amine compounds.

Abstract: A new class of useful gasoline additives is prepared via two consecutive reactions including: (1) amidation of water-soluble hydrophilic, low molecular weight triamine with alkyl acetate at an elevated temperature under N2 pressure to prepare a symmetrical triamide; and (2) alkoxylation of the triamides with 1,2-epoxyalkane to prepare poly(oxyalkylene)triamide alkoxylate of three telechelic hydroxy groups, having the general formula: wherein x, y and z are from 1 to 20, R is poly(oxyalkylene) of a molecular weight from 72 to 1000, and R′ is an alkyl having a carbon number from 2 to 18.
