Alkanes mercury photosensitized reactions

The saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons behave differently as far as photosensitization is concerned. The mercury-photosensitized reactions of the alkanes proceed by an initial reaction of the type... [Pg.108]

Product isolation from a catal3d ic reaction may be continuous, or a batch process may be used. If the products are volatile, they can often be separated by distillation from the mixture, assuming the catalysts are involatile, as is often the case. There can also be unexpected selectivity advantages in vapor phase reactions. In mercury photosensitized reactions, alkanes can be converted to liquid functionalization products by a radical pathway. Normally, a radical route would... [Pg.1060]

In looking at some control reactions for transition-metal catalyzed alkane photodehydrogenation, we came across mercury-photosensitized dehydrodimerization of alkanes. The very high efficiency of the procedure, when performed under reflux conditions at ambient temperature and pressure was immediately obvious. [Pg.555]

Relatively few rate constants are available for the alkyl homolysis reactions mainly because clean sources of the alkyl radical have proved difficult to find. Consequently, the data are not always reliable, but some check is available [64, 65] from thermochemical and kinetic data for the reverse reaction. Direct photolysis of azo-compounds and mercury-photosensitized decomposition of alkanes have so far provided the most reliable (although old) data [64]. For good results, the method depended on precise product analysis in the early stages of reaction, with equation (1.9) used to determine where Rabs and Rr r are the initial rates of formation... [Pg.45]

Alkane functionalization on a preparative scale by mercury-photosensitized C-H bond activation has been recently developed by Crabtree [22], Mercury absorbs 254-nm light to generate a Pi excited state which homolyzes a C-H bond of the substrate with a 3° > 2° > 1° selectivity. Radical disproportionation gives an alkene, but this intermediate is recycled back into the radical pool via H-atom attack, which is beneficial in terms of yield and selectivity. The reaction gives alkane dimers and products of cross-dehydrodimerization of alkanes with various C-H compounds ... [Pg.210]

A photoprocess that may involve the formation rather than the cleavage of metal-hydrogen or metal-carbon bonds is the mercury-photosensitized dehydrodimerization or the alkane functionalization reaction. The reaction involves the coupling of an alkane to give the alkane dimer and hydrogen ... [Pg.294]
