The title compound, 4-tert-butyl-6-（4-chlorophenyl）-3,6-dihydro-2H-1,3-thiazin- 2-iminium chloride （C14H18C12N2S）, has been synthesized by the reaction of 1-（4-chlorophenyl）- 4,4-dimethylpent-1-en-3-one with thi...The title compound, 4-tert-butyl-6-（4-chlorophenyl）-3,6-dihydro-2H-1,3-thiazin- 2-iminium chloride （C14H18C12N2S）, has been synthesized by the reaction of 1-（4-chlorophenyl）- 4,4-dimethylpent-1-en-3-one with thiourea, and its crystal structure was determined by single- crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system, space group P211c with a = 16.3064（11）, b = 9.4471（6）, c = 11.2626 （8）A, β = 108.400（1）°, Z = 4, V = 1646.28（19） A^3, Mr = 317.26, Dc = 1.280 g/cm^3, S = 1.078,μ = 0.510 mm^-1, F（000） = 664, the final R = 0.0514 and wR = 0.1412 for 3210 observed reflections （I 〉 2σ（I））. The thiazine ring system displays a twisted boat conformation, and three N-H,..Cl hydrogen bonds exist in the crystal. The combination of two N-H...Cl hydrogen bonds generate an R2^1 （6） ring.展开更多

We measured the isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium(VLE) for the quaternary system TBA + water + propane-1,3-diol + [emim]Cl at 101.3 kPa, and found the VLE data to be well correlated with the nonrandom two-liquid model. These results show that the mixed solvent of propane-1,3-diol + [emim]Cl can increase the relative volatility of TBA to water and break the azeotropic point. We found no notable synergetic effect between them, and observed that the liquid mixed solvent of propane-1,3-diol and [emim]Cl had lower viscosity than [emim]Cl, which makes it a promising entrainer for separating the TBA + water azeotrope in industrial applications.展开更多
