Activity, selectivity and durability of the new heterogeneous rhodium catalysts depend on the nature of the support used in the preparation of the catalyst. The lamellar structures mainly yield methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), whereas the zeolitic structures, in general, yield isopropanol (IPA). The activity remains steady throughout the period tested (7h), except when the support is the BENPIL indeed, the deactivation of Rh/BENPIL is relatively rapid particularly during the first hour of reaction. The turnover numbers frequencies (TOP) obtained with these catalysts might be attributed to the structure of the metal no sensitive reaction the hydrogenation acetone.

These three are used for synthesis of several other important solvents. Benzene is used in the production of ethyl benzene (alkylation), cyclohexanone, cyclohexanol, cyclohexane, aniline (hydrogenation), acetone, nitrobenzene, and chlorobenzene. Toluene is used in the production of cresol and benzene. Xylene is the raw material for the production of ethyl benzene and the fractionation of the xylene mixture to isomers. 

Moreover, direct reaction of H2 ligands in catalysis has been proved. Recently, hydrogen coordinated as a molecular hy ogen to a metal has been proved to be able to hydrogenate acetone to give isopropyl alcohol [27]. In order to understand these new kinds of processes, a study on heterolytic activation of hydrogen complexes is presented in the next section. 

Moderate errors in the total pressure calculations occur for the systems chloroform-ethanol-n-heptane and chloroform-acetone-methanol. Here strong hydrogen bonding between chloroform and alcohol creates unusual deviations from ideality for both alcohol-chloroform systems, the activity coefficients show... 

Table 3 shows results obtained from a five-component, isothermal flash calculation. In this system there are two condensable components (acetone and benzene) and three noncondensable components (hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane). Henry s constants for each of the noncondensables were obtained from Equations (18-22) the simplifying assumption for dilute solutions [Equation (17)] was also used for each of the noncondensables. Activity coefficients for both condensable components were calculated with the UNIQUAC equation. For that calculation, all liquid-phase composition variables are on a solute-free basis the only required binary parameters are those for the acetone-benzene system. While no experimental data are available for comparison, the calculated results are probably reliable because all simplifying assumptions are reasonable the...

CH3CH2OHCH3. B.p. 82 C. Manufactured by hydrolysis of propene. Used in the production of acetone (propanone) by oxidation, for the preparation of esters (e.g. the ethanoate used as a solvent), amines (diisopropylamines, etc.), glycerol, hydrogen peroxide. The alcohol is used as an important solvent for many resins, aerosols, anti-freezes. U.S. production 1978 775 000 tonnes.

Acetone in conjunction with benzene as a solvent is widely employed. With cyclohexanone as the hydrogen acceptor, coupled with toluene or xylene as solvent, the use of higher reaction temperatures is possible and consequently the reaction time is considerably reduced furthermore, the excess of cyclohexanone can be easily separated from the reaction product by steam distillation. At least 0 25 mol of alkoxide per mol of alcohol is used however, since an excess of alkoxide has no detrimental effect 1 to 3 mols of aluminium alkoxide is recommended, particularly as water, either present in the reagents or formed during secondary reactions, will remove an equivalent quantity of the reagent. In the oxidation of steroids 50-200 mols of acetone or 10-20 mols of cyclohexanone are generally employed. 

To decompose the acetone semicarbazone, warm 58 g. with 50 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid until it just dissolves. Cool in ice the semicarbazide hydrochloride separates as a thick crystaUine mass. Filter at the pump through a sintered glass funnel, and wash with a small quantity of alcohol and then with ether dry in the air. The yield of pure semicarbazide hydrochloride, m.p. 173° (decomp.), is 35 g. A further quantity of product may be obtained either by saturating the mother liquor with hydrogen chloride or by treating it with twice its volume of alcohol and then with ether. 

A solution of 1.05 M diborane in THF (25 ml, 26 mraol) was added slowly to a stirred suspension of 3-acetyl-5-hydroxy-2-methylindole (1.0 g, 5.3 mmol) in THF (10 ml). After hydrogen evolution ceased, the mixture was heated at reflux for I h, cooled and poured into acetone (75 ml). The mixture was heated briefly to boiling and then evaporated in vacuo. The residue was heated with methanol (50ml) for 20min. The solution was concentrated and 3NHC1 (40ml) was added. The mixture was extracted with ether and the extracts dried (MgSO ) and evaporated to yield a yellow oil. Vacuum sublimation or recrystallization yielded pure product (0.76 g, 82%). 

The advantage of this method is that it avoids the use of hydrogen selenide, necessary for the preparation of selenourea from cyanamide (14). Benzoylselenourea is synthesized by the method of Douglass (24) by the action of potassium selenocyanate On benzoyl chloride in acetone solution.

Introduction of a 16P-methyl group into the corticosteroid molecule was effected by a reaction (83) whereby a 16-dehydropregnenolone (62) was treated with dia2omethane to form the pyra2oline (75) which was decomposed with perchloric acid in acetone to give the 16-methylpregn-16-en-20-one derivative (76). Catalytic hydrogenation yielded the 16P-methyl intermediate (77), which was converted into... 

Trichloroacetic acid K = 0.2159) is as strong an acid as hydrochloric acid. Esters and amides are readily formed. Trichloroacetic acid undergoes decarboxylation when heated with caustic or amines to yield chloroform. The decomposition of trichloroacetic acid in acetone with a variety of aUphatic and aromatic amines has been studied (37). As with dichloroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid can be converted to chloroacetic acid by the action of hydrogen and palladium on carbon (17).
