This report summarizes the forum proceedings. The forum was conducted on a not-for-attribution basis to encourage candor from participants. The views expressed in this document are those of the participants, as interpreted by the RAND Corporation, and do not represent RAND analysis. This report should be of interest to individuals in the policy, business, and research communities who are involved in hydrogen production, distribution, and applications and those who are interested in energy issues in general.

Amines or ammonia replace activated halogens on the ting, but competing pyridyne [7129-66-0] (46) formation is observed for attack at 3- and 4-halo substituents, eg, in 3-bromopyridine [626-55-1] (39). The most acidic hydrogen in 3-halopyridines (except 3-fluoropyridine) has been shown to be the one in the 4-position. Hence, the 3,4-pyridyne is usually postulated to be an intermediate instead of a 2,3-pyridyne. Product distribution (40% (33) and 20% (34)) tends to support the 3,4-pyridyne also. 

All lene Oxides and Aziridines. Alkyleneamines react readily with epoxides, such as ethylene oxide [75-21-8] (EO) or propylene oxide [75-56-9] (PO), to form mixtures of hydroxyalkyl derivatives. Product distribution is controlled by the amine to epoxide mole ratio. If EDA, which has four reactive amine hydrogens, reacts at an EDA to EO mole ratio which is greater than 1 4, a mixture of mono-, di-, tri,-, and tetrahydroxyethyl derivatives of EDA are formed. A 10 1 EDA EO feed mole ratio gives predominandy 2-hydroxyethylethylenediamine [111-41-1], the remainder is a mixture of bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamines (7). If the reactive NH to epoxide feed mole ratio is less than one and, additionally, a strong basic catalyst is used, then oxyalkyl derivatives, like those shown for EDA and excess PO result (8,9). 

While the foregoing concepts have been utilized to rationalize the product distribution obtained on hydrogenation of a number of monocyclic olefins, it should be noted that the effect of pressure on the stereochemistry of hydrogenation of steroidal double bonds has not been critically evaluated. 

A trade association of companies that are involved or interested in the safe production, distribution and use of chlorine, sodium and potassium hydroxides, and sodium hypochlorite, and the distribution and use of hydrogen chloride. 

If every collision of a chlorine atom with a butane molecule resulted in hydrogen abstraction, the n-butyl/5ec-butyl radical ratio and, therefore, the 1-chloro/2-chlorobutane ratio, would be given by the relative numbers of hydrogens in the two equivalent methyl groups of CH3CH2CH2CH3 (six) compared with those in the two equivalent methylene groups (four). The product distribution expected on a statistical basis would be 60% 1-chloro-butane and 40% 2-chlorobutane. The experimentally observed product distribution, however, is 28% 1-chlorobutane and 72% 2-chlorobutane. 5ec-Butyl radical is therefore formed in greater anounts, and n-butyl radical in lesser anounts, than expected statistically. 

The product is hydrogenated in 4,000 cc of ethanol at room temperature and under normal atmospheric pressure with a catalyst prepared In the usual manner from 400 g of Raney nickel alloy. The calculated amount of hydrogen is taken up in approximately 75 hours. After filtration and evaporation to a small volume, the residue Is distributed between 1,000 cc of chloroform and water each. The chloroform solution is then dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to a small volume. Precipitation of the hydrogenation product with petroleum ether yields an amorphous white powder which Is filtered by suction, washed with petroleum ether and dried at 50°C In a high vacuum. 1. athyl-2-podophyllinic acid hydrazide is obtained in a practically quantitative yield. 

If hydrogen is made from decarbonized fossil fuels, fuel-cycle emissions can be cut by up to 80 percent. With renewable energy sources such as biomass, solar, or wind, the fuel cycle greenhouse gas emissions are virtually eliminated. It is possible to envision a future energy system based on hydrogen and fuel cells with little or no emissions of pollutants or greenhouse gases in fuel production, distribution, or use. 

In contrast to fossil energy resources such as oil, natural gas, and coal, which are unevenly distributed geographically, primary sources for hydrogen production are available virtually eveiywhere in the world. The choice of a primary source for hydrogen production can be made based on the best local resource. 

Whereas exo-norbornene oxide rearranges to nortricyclanol on treatment with strong base through transannular C-H insertion (Scheme 5.11), endo-norbornene oxide 64 gives norcamphor 65 as the major product (Scheme 5.14) [15, 22]. This product arises from 1,2-hydrogen migration very little transannular rearrangement is observed. These two reaction pathways are often found to be in competition with one another, and subtle differences in substrate structure, and even in the base employed, can have a profound influence on product distribution. 

It is clear from the results that there is no kinetic isotope effect when deuterium is substituted for hydrogen in various positions in hydrazobenzene and 1,1 -hydrazonaphthalene. This means that the final removal of hydrogen ions from the aromatic rings (which is assisted either by the solvent or anionic base) in a positively charged intermediate or in a concerted process, is not rate-determining (cf. most electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions47). The product distribution... 

The product distribution derived from the disproportionation of sulfonyl radicals is expected to be dependent on the conditions under which the reaction is being carried out thus, in hydrogen donor solvents, the formation of ArS020H should be important while at higher temperatures the formation of an aryl radical, namely... 

The positive charge should reside on a complex entity, and there is no ready means for assessing the products of the neutralization process. Although we know that neutralization must yield 3.8 intermediates/100 e.v., there is no chemical evidence for their contribution to the product distribution. This cannot be interpreted by neutralization yielding predominantly hydrogen atoms, ethyl radicals, or methyl radicals. One can quantitatively account for these intermediates on the basis of the distribution of primary species and second- and third-order ion-molecule reactions (36).
