Parallel syntheis reactor

合成有机化学产生了改变植物油性质的途径，其中许多是众所周知的。不幸的是，很少有方法在经济上足够可行，可供工业使用。因此，有必要减少这些过程，以生产各种各样的增值消费品和工业产品。本提案中定义的设备旨在筛选将植物油转化为改进的消费品和工业产品的有效工业过程。用于新型合成的植物油将来自具有独特化学成分和/或低成本的加拿大作物，包括；油菜籽，亚麻，高油菜籽，苏林亚麻，香菜，亚麻和油菜籽。该设备提供了参与平行合成方法的能力，这可以大大加快开发有用的反应来生产新产品。在良好的控制条件下，通过一系列反应可以合成改性油。将开发低成本将植物油转化为产品的工艺：1)在低温（-40℃）下保持液体；2)粘度低（<4 cP）；3)具有高粘度（>200 cP）；4)极性高；5)极性低；6)氧化稳定性增强（bbb10 h AOM） 7)更容易聚合。申请人已经开发了用于工业应用的烷基酯和共轭脂肪酸的专利方法和商业秘密。该设备将用于培训硕士和博士候选人，以及技术人员和博士后，进行石油改性化学和探索广泛的反应，以改变脂质的相关性质。

Synthetic organic chemistry yields routes to change the properties of plant oils and many are well known. Unfortunately, few of the processes are sufficiently economically feasible for use by industry. It is necessary therefore, to reduce these processes to practice in order to produce a wide variety of value-added consumer and industrial products. The equipment defined in this proposal is designed to screen for efficient industrial processes for converting vegetable oils to improved consumer and industrial products. The vegetable oils used in novel syntheses will be derived from Canadian crops having a unique chemistry and/or low cost ,including; canola, flax, high-oleic canola, solin flax, coriander, camelina and rapeseed. The equipment provides the ability to engage in parallel synthetic approaches which can greatly accelerate development of useful reactions to produce new products.   Modified oils will be synthesized through a series of reactions under well controlled conditions. Processes will be developed to inexpensively convert vegetable oils to products that: 1) remain liquid at low temperature (-40C); 2) have low viscosity (<4 cP); 3) have high viscosity (>200 cP); 4) have high polarity; 5) have low polarity; 6) have enhanced oxidative stability (>10 h AOM) 7) are more readily polymerized.   Patented methods and trade secrets have been developed by the applicant to prepare alkyl esters and conjugate fatty acids for industrial applications. The equipment will be used in training M.Sc. and Ph.D. candidates, as well as technicians and Postdoctoral Fellows, to conduct oil modification chemistry and to explore a wide range of reactions to modify the relevant properties of the lipids.
