Hydrogenation converter

The hydrodesulfurizer will, in the presence of hydrogen, convert the thiophane into H2S that is easily removed by the zinc oxide polisher. The required hydrogen is supplied by recycling a small amount of the reformed natural gas product. Although a zinc oxide reactor can operate over a wide range of temperatures, a minimum bed volume is achieved at temperatures of 350 to 400°C (660 to 750°F). 

Depending on the catalysts, catalytic hydrogenation converts naphthalene to tetrahydronaphthalene (tetralin), or cis- or trons-decalin (decahydro-naphthalene) [S, 405, 406, 407]. Tetrahydronaphthalene was converted to ciy-decalin by hydrogenation over platinum oxide [S]. 

D (and by implication E and F) is para substituted. In addition, both branches must be identical, which means each has one degree of unsaturation (two alkenes and not one alkyne). The branches are -CH=CH2. Hydrogenation converts the branches to -CH2-CH3. Heating with chromic acid eliminates the carbon atom furthest from the ring and converts the remaining carbon atoms to carboxylic acid groups (-CO2H). 

When hydrogen is cooled from room temperature (RT) to the normal boiling point (nbp = 21.2 K), the o-hydrogen converts from an equilibrium concentration of 75% at RT to 50% at 77 K and 0.2% at nbp. The self-conversion rate is an activated process and very slow the half-life of the conversion is more than 1 year at 77 K (Figure 5.9). 

Hydrolysis of the enamine 14 furnishes citronellal (15) in high optical purity (ca. 99% ee) which gives 17 via ene cyclization with zinc bromide as catalyst. The diastereoselectivity of this step is the result of simple diastereoselection in a trans-decalin-like transition state 16. Catalytic hydrogenation converts the olefin 17 into (—)-menthol (18). Despite its elegance this novel route has not been able to replace the older resolution-based procedure described earlier in this section. 

The particularly good activity against protein kinases of a-aminoquinazoline derivatives is borne out by their activity against both in vitro and in vivo models of human tumors. The examples that follow are but two of a number of compounds from this structural class that have emerged from the focus that has been devoted to this stmctural class. Nitration of the benzoate (78-1) with nitric acid affords the nitro derivative. Hydrogenation converts this to the anthrandate (78-2). In one of the standard conditions for forming quinazolones, that intermediate is then treated with ammonium formate to yield the heterocycle (78-3). Reaction of this last product with phosphorus oxychloride leads to the corresponding enol chloride (78-4). Condensation of this last intermediate with meta-iodoanUine (78-5) leads to displacement of chlorine and the consequent formation of the aminoquinazoline... 

Conversion is the fraction of reactant carbon monoxide and/or hydrogen converted to other compounds. It is generally expressed in terms of the fresh feed components, but sometimes in terms of the total feed components for recycle operation. 

FIGURE 14.12 When the runny oil (top) is hydrogenated, it is converted into a solid—a fat (bottom). The hydrogen converts carbon-carbon double bonds into single bonds. The resulting more flexible molecules can pack together more closely and so form a solid. 

Catalytic hydrogenation converts an alkene to an alkane having the same carbon skeleton. Since 2-methylbutane is the product of hydrogenation, all three alkenes must have a four-carbon chain with a one-carbon branch. The three alkenes are therefore ... 

In the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, the hydrogen converts aromatic and heteroaromatic species, and further converts heteroatoms to hydrogen sulfide, water, and ammonia. 

Metathesis, followed by hydrogenation, converts the heterodimer into a pseudorotaxane. 

In the case of Pt-SO /ZrC, molecular hydrogen converts into Bronsted acid sites on the surface with concomitant decrease in Lewis acid sites at temperatures above 423 K, as shown in Fig. 3. Molecular hydrogen in the gas phase seems to dissociate on platinum to form hydrogen atoms which migrate onto the oxide and lose their electrons at Lewis acid sites to convert into Bronsted acid sites [18]. 

Because single bonds (sigma bonds) are more stable than pi bonds, the most common reactions of double bonds transform the pi bond into a sigma bond. For example, catalytic hydrogenation converts the C = C pi bond and the H—H sigma bond into two C—H sigma bonds (Section 7-7). The reaction is exothermic (AH° = about -80 to -120 kJ/mol or about -20 to -30 kcal/mol), showing that the product is more stable than the reactants. 

Since you know the percentage composition, it is convenient to assume that you have 100 g of the compound. This means that you have 85.6 g of carbon and 14.4 g of hydrogen. Convert each mass to moles. The number of moles can then be converted into a lowest terms ratio of the elements to get the empirical formula.
