Large crystal ZSM-5, its synthesis and use

A method of inhibiting viruses in which a virus is contacted with diamondoid alcohol, ketone, ketone derivative, adamantyl amino acid, quaternary salt or combinations thereof which have antiviral properties. These diamondoid derivatives are shown to have antiviral activity against HIV.

Diamondoid derivatives for pharmaceutical use

Methods for using amino acid as a directing agent in zeolite synthesis are disclosed comprising the steps of: (a) forming a reaction mixture containing water, an alumina source, a silica source, an alkali metal oxide source, and an amino acid as an exterior directing agent; and (b) recovering a porous inorganic solid from said reaction mixture of step (a).

Zeolite synthesis with amino acid directing agents

A process is disclosed for separating high purity diamondoid fractions from a mixture containing substituted and unsubstituted diamondoid compounds.

Isolation of high purity diamondoid fractions and components

The invention provides a composition comprising Formula I as shown below and at least one selected from the group consisting of Formulae II, III, IV, and V as shown below: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, and R.sub.4 are the same or different, and comprise alkyl groups containing no tertiary carbon and having from about 4 to about 15 carbon atoms. The composition of the invention is useful as a lubricant stock. A method for synthesizing the composition is also disclosed.

Oxidatively stable esters derived from diamondoids totally hydroxylated

The invention provides a composition of matter selected from the group consisting of ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, and R.sub.4 are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl substituent groups having from 1 to about 8 carbon atoms, n is from 2 to about 20, m is from 2 to about 20, and Di is a substituted or unsubstituted diamondoid compound. The invention further provides diamondoid-containing ammonium salts, and a pharmaceutical treatment method using the compositions of the invention.

Diamondoid-containing amines

The invention provides a composition comprising at least about 10 different diamondoid compounds selected from the group consisting of methyl-substituted and ethyl-substituted adamantane, diamantane, and triamantane, wherein each of said selected diamondoid compounds comprises no more than about 10 weight percent of said composition. The composition is useful as high quality lubricating fluid and exhibits the unusual combination of high Viscosity Index and very low pour point.

High viscosity index lubricant fluid

An ester product consisting essentially of the acylation product of a mixture of near linear aliphatic 1-alkanols, said alkanols containing six to twenty carbon atoms and having a methyl to methylene branch ratio less than 0.25. These novel esters can be further converted to valuable 1-alkenes by pyrrolysis. In the preferred embodiments, esters are derived by acylation of C.sub.9 -C12 1-alkanols having a methyl to methylene branch ratio less than 0.18. In the preferred method of synthesizing the esters, acylation is carried out using aliphatic carboxylic acid, anhydride, halide or ester as acylating agent, wherein the agent has 2 to 20 carbon atoms. For instance, the acylating agent may comprise acetic anhydride and to produce acetate esters.

Ester derivatives of lower alkene oligomers

The invention provides a method for synthesizing a porous inorganic solid comprising the steps of: (a) forming a reaction mixture containing water, an alumina source, a silica source, an alkali metal oxide source, and a diquaternary ammonium salt having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is a diamondoid group, n is from about 1 to about 50, and X is an anion which is not detrimental to the formation of said porous inorganic solid; and

The 350.degree.-650.degree. F. (177.degree.-343.degree. C.) portion of the product from the oligomerization of light olefin with surface deactivated shape selective medium pore zeolite catalyst particles comprises olefinic hydrocarbons having unique and desirable structures as precursors for high cetane value clean fuels. These oligomers are near linear in structure and contain no aromatics. Following hydrogenation they produce cetane values between 50 and 75. When the near linear olefinic hydrocarbons from surface deactivated zeolite catalyzed oligomerization of light olefins are subjected to ethene metathesis to alpha olefins and oligomerization following the process of Chen et al in U.S. Pat. No. 4,962,249 the overall process reaction product comprises a mixture of a 650.degree. F.+ portion comprising high VI lubricant and a 350.degree.-650.degree. F. portion comprising high cetane clean fuels precursor. Hydrogenation of the 350.degree.-650.degree. F. portion provides an aromatics-free fuel with a cetane value between 50-75 containing less than 0.5 wt % naphthenes. The combined process results in the co-production of high cetane clean fuels and high VI synthetic lubricant.

Process for the production of high cetane value clean fuels

A process is disclosed for separating diamondoid compounds from a natural gas stream containing the same comprising the steps of contacting the natural gas stream with a selected solvent and fractionating the sorbed diamondoids from the diamondoid-enriched solvent in a vacuum separation stage in the absence of reflux. Polyalphaolefin solvents are preferred, and polyalphaolefin solvents enriched in C.sub.30 oligomers are more preferred.

Diamondoid recovery from natural gas fields

Novel synthetic lubricants having high viscosity index are made from lower olefins. These materials have a viscosity above about 2 cS at 100.degree. C. and viscosity index above about 130 and are characterized by internal methyl groups attached to side chain tertiary carbon atoms. Hydrocarbon lubricant can be based on propene feedstock with the resulting oligomer containing less than 2.5 methyl groups per 12 carbon atoms.
