One-pot process for the reduction of sulfur, nitrogen and the production of useful oxygenates from hydrocarbon materials via one-pot selective oxidation

摘要

The present invention relates to a process of reducing sulfur- or nitrogen-containing compounds and producing oxygenates, and in particular to a one-pot process of reducing sulfur- or nitrogen-containing compounds and also producing oxygenates in the presence of a homogeneous catalyst such as Mⁿ⁺/a first solvent or M₁ⁿ⁺/a second solvent/M₂^m+/a third solvent or a mixture thereof, the process herein being useful as an excellent octane booster in the reformulated gasoline and as a cetane booster for the future oxygenated diesel in a one-pot reaction.
