The wide applicability of the PK reaction is apparent in the synthesis of pyrroles, for example, 45, en route to novel chiral guanidine bases, levuglandin-derived pyrrole 46, lipoxygenase inhibitor precursors such as 47, pyrrole-containing zirconium complexesand iV-aminopyrroles 48 from 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds and hydrazine derivatives. The latter study also utilized Yb(OTf)3 and acetic acid as pyrrole-forming catalysts, in addition to pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (PPTS).

In general, there are two possibilities to prepare nanocarbon-supported metal(oxide) catalysts. The in situ approach grows the catalyst nanoparticles directly on the carbon surface. The ex situ strategy utilizes pre-formed catalyst particles, which are deposited on the latter by adsorption [94]. Besides such solution-based methods, there is also the possibility of gas phase metal (oxide) loading, e.g., by sputtering [95], which is used for preparation of highly loaded systems required for electrochemical applications not considered here. 

Of the various mechanical properties of a formed catalyst containing zeolite, attrition resistance is probably the most critical. This is particularly the case for FCC catalysts because of the impact on the addihon rate of fresh catalyst, particulate emissions of fines and overall catalyst flow in the reactor and regenerator. Most attrition methods are a relative determination by means of air jet attrition with samples in the 10 to 180 xm size range. For example the ASTM D5757 method attrites a humidified sample of powder with three high velocity jets of humidified air. The fines are continuously removed from the attrition zone by elucidation into a fines collection assembly. The relative attrition index is calculated from the elutriated fines removed at a specific time interval.

The SCR catalysts are used in the form of honeycomb monoliths or plates to guarantee low pressure drops in view oflarge frontal area with parallel channels, high external surface area per unit volume of catalyst, high attrition resistance and low tendency for fly ash plugging. The SCR monoliths and plates are assembled into standard modules and inserted into the reactor to form catalyst layers. 

Another method for the asymmetric version of the Baeyer-Villiger reaction was presented by Lopp and coworkers in 1996 . By employing overstoichiometric quantities of Ti(OPr-t)4/DET/TBHP (1.5 eq./1.8 eq./1.5 eq.), racemic andprochiral cyclobutanones were converted to enantiomerically enriched lactones with ee values up to 75% and moderate conversions up to 40% (Scheme 171). Bolm and Beckmann used a combination of axially chiral C2-symmetric diols of the BINOL type as ligands in the zirconium-mediated Baeyer-Villiger reaction of cyclobutanone derivatives in the presence of TBHP (or CHP) as oxidant (Scheme 172) . With the in situ formed catalysts 233a-d the regioisomeric lactones were produced with moderate asymmetric inductions (6-84%). The main drawback of this method is the need of stoichiometric amounts of zirconium catalyst.

Most Group VIII metals adsorb carbon monoxide dissociatively, and, consequently, they are good Fischer-Tropsch catalysts.240 In contrast, Pd, Pt, Ir, and Cu do not dissociate carbon monoxide. Of these metals, copper and more recently palladium were found to be excellent methanol-forming catalysts. 

Another simple oligomerization is the dimerization of propylene. Because of the formation of a relatively less stable branched alkylaluminum intermediate, displacement reaction is more efficient than in the case of ethylene, resulting in almost exclusive formation of dimers. All possible C6 alkene isomers are formed with 2-methyl-1-pentene as the main product and only minor amounts of hexenes. Dimerization at lower temperature can be achieved with a number of transition-metal complexes, although selectivity to 2-methyl-1-pentene is lower. Nickel complexes, for example, when applied with aluminum alkyls and a Lewis acid (usually EtAlCl2), form catalysts that are active at slightly above room temperature. Selectivity can be affected by catalyst composition addition of phosphine ligands brings about an increase in the yield of 2,3-dimethylbutenes (mainly 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene). 

The lifetime of a radical type of intermediate (if it exists) must necessarily be very short, as otherwise radical combination reactions might become important, yielding products like hexadiene and benzene. These products and free allyl radicals have indeed been detected in some studies (Dolejsek and Novakova [102], Seiyama et al. [285,286], and Weiss et al. [345]). It must be emphasized, however, that the catalysts concerned differed from the usual acrolein-forming catalysts, being hardly selective at all. 

Although a few very active solid catalysts are used as fine wire mesh or other finely divided form, catalysts are mostly porous bodies whose total surface is measured in m2/g. These and other data of some commercial catalysts are shown in Table 17.8. The physical characteristics of major importance are as follows. 

Radical-forming catalysts, such as organic peroxides, hydrogen peiox-ide, aliphatic azo compounds of the type of azoisobutyric acid nitrile, and redox systems arc employed for telomenzation reactions. 

Countercations influence the rate and selectivity of this reaction. The activity order, as for cations, was found to be Ag > Cu, H > Fe > Al > Pd > La > Zn (190). The distributions of product hydrocarbons were found to be similar to those observed for H3PW12O40 (Table XIX), suggesting similar reaction mechanisms. Ag and Cu salts of H3PW12O40 are much more active than the acid form catalyst. Protons generated by the reaction of Ag+ with H2 are presumed to give the more active catalyst (797). 

It has been claimed (335) that preparation of an acid form catalyst by the thermal decomposition of pyridinium salts results in a cubic crystal structure and increases the surface area and pore volume. For example, the surface area of H4PM011VO40 increases from 1.0 to 5.3 m2 g 1 by the creation of macropores having radii of 103— 104 A. As a result of macropore formation, higher yields are obtained (Fig. 62). The formation of acetic acid, CO and C02 at high conversion is suppressed by treatment of the catalyst with pyridine. The application of this method to acidic Cs salts further improves the activity and selectivity.
