H catalyst

The initiator can be a radical, an acid, or a base. Historically, as we saw in Section 7.10, radical polymerization was the most common method because it can be carried out with practically any vinyl monomer. Acid-catalyzed (cationic) polymerization, by contrast, is effective only with vinyl monomers that contain an electron-donating group (EDG) capable of stabilizing the chain-carrying carbocation intermediate. Thus, isobutylene (2-methyl-propene) polymerizes rapidly under cationic conditions, but ethylene, vinyl chloride, and acrylonitrile do not. Isobutylene polymerization is carried out commercially at -80 °C, using BF3 and a small amount of water to generate BF3OH- H+ catalyst. The product is used in the manufacture of truck and bicycle inner tubes.

Thus, acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of sucrose initially yields D-glucose and a fmctose oxocarbonium ion, which can react with water to form D-fructose and regenerate the H+ catalyst. As a consequence, further acid degradation of sucrose can be described by the action of acids on D-glucose and D-fructose. 

Dynamometer-aged (120 h) catalysts showed no evidence for oxygen storage via rare earth oxides. 

The efficiency of the new catalysts 7a and 7b was examined in some metathesis transformations. Interestingly, both catalysts can only very slowly initiate typical metathesis reactions when tested at room temperature. At a catalyst loading of 5 mol%, chelating sulfur catalysts 7a and 7b achieved 22% and 51% conversion of diallylamide (3d), respectively, after heating to 80 C for 24 h. Catalyst 7a converts... 

Once the reaction kinetics were determined and the appropriate reaction conditions were set, the analyses of different catalysts was launched. A variety of different heterogeneous catalysts were evaluated for the deprotection of 20 mmol Cbz-glycine (1, R=-H). Catalysts composed of different platinum group metals supported on activated carbon were evaluated as well as palladium supported on alumina. Figure 5 confirms that Pd supported on activated carbon is indeed the catalyst of choice for this type of hydrogenolysis reaction.

The MDA experiments were performed in a continuous down-flow fixed bed reactor at 700°C, atmospheric pressure, and a space velocity of 1500 em3/(gcat h). Catalysts were pretreated in He flow at 700°C for 30 min before feeding a CH4 N2 mixture in a 9 1 voEvol ratio (N2 used as internal standard). Unreacted methane, the reference N2, and the reaction products were analyzed on line in a gas chromatograph (HP-GC6890) as detailed in [6]. Product selectivities are given on a carbon basis. The use of N2 as internal standard allows to obtain the amount of carbonaceous residues as the amount of carbon required to close the mass carbon balances to 100%. 

V , = Amount of H+ (catalyst) present in 10 ml of reaction mix + Amount of CH3COOH formed at the end of reaction (or amount of ester present initially because 1 mol of ester gives 1 mol of CH3COOOH). 

Catalysts employed in this study are zirconium(lV)-hydrides on oxide support (silica, silica-alumina and alumina). Their synthesis is described above. We present here some transformations or modifications of polystyrene, linear alkanes and polyethylene with Zr-H catalyst... 

The reaction of the same bismuthonium ylide with isothiocyanates in the presence of a copper(H) catalyst afforded the sulfur-incorporated spiro-cyclic compound as the main product, in addition to a small amount of carbon-carbon bond formed products (Scheme 12) [28],...
