COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR HYDROCARBON FUNCTIONALIZATION

摘要

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for methods of hydrocarbon functionalization, methods and systems for converting a hydrocarbon into a compound including at least one group ((e.g., hydroxyl group) (e.g., methane to methanol)), functionalized hydrocarbons, and the like.

1. A method, comprising:
mixing AaXn, an iodine-based compound, and a source of functionalization to form a first mixture, wherein A is selected from the group consisting of: hydrogen, lithium, sodium, potassium, beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, transition metals, aluminum, gallium, thallium, indium, tin, sulfur, ammonium (NH4+), alkylammonium. phosphonium (PH4+), alkylphosphonium, arylphosphonium, or trimethyl sulfonium ([S(CH3)3]+) and a combination thereof, wherein X is chlorine, wherein subscript “a” is an oxidation state of X and subscript “n” is an oxidation state of A; and mixing the first mixture with a hydrocarbon in the gas phase to make a functionalized hydrocarbon.
