Palladium catalysts cyclohexene hydrogenation

Catalysis of cyclohexene hydrogenation has been studied extensively both in the vapour and liquid phases on platinum ", palladium and other metallic surfaces. Here the kinetics of the cyclohexene hydrogenation on platinum have been considered lu terms of the specific activities of samples of silica-supported platinum, previously characterised by hydrogen chemisorption. Particular attention has been paid to the structure sensitivity-insensitivity of the reaction and how this varies as carbonaceous overlayers are built up on the catalysts with increasing reaction time. 

For olefins to be intermediates in the saturation of aromatics, some finite concentration, no matter how small, should be present. The only evidence that could be cited was an observation by Madden and Kem-ball (60) that cyclohexene was present during the early stages of vapor-phase hydrogenation of benzene in a flow system over a nickel film. Two factors were working against the detection of olefins. First, it turns out that the platinum and palladium catalysts studied by Siegel et... 

The solubility of the catalyst salt is improved by the use of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylborate or triflate anions. Unsaturated fatty acids can be reduced in the same way.173 Hydrogenations in sc carbon dioxide can be more selective than in the gas phase while using 35 times less catalyst.174 Cyclohexene was reduced with hydrogen and a polysilox-ane-supported palladium catalyst in in a continuous-flow reactor in 95-98% yields. Epoxides, oximes, nitriles, aldehydes, ketones, and nitro compounds can also be reduced. By varying the temperature, the products from the reduction of nitrobenzene can be selected from aniline, cyclo-hexylamine, dicyclohexylamine, and cyclohexane. In the... 

The results of the study on the hydrogenation of different functional groups were summarized [194]. Here complexes of rhodium, palladium and nickel fixed on balls of densely cross-linked macroporous polystyrene of HAD-4 grade, on which an-thranilic acid residues were bonded, were used as catalysts. Special attention was paid to the kinetic study of cyclohexene hydrogenation by rhodium(+) derivatives and to elucidate the reaction mechanism using D2. The influence of diffusion restrictions on the reaction rate was discussed, in particular, that of the transport of hydrogen to pores and through the gas-liquid interface. 

Hydrogenation catalysts,such as platinum, palladium, nickel, and so on. In this case the reaction is the reverse of double-bond hydrogenation (15-11 and 15-15), and presumably the mechanism is also the reverse, though not much is known. Cyclohexene has been detected as an intermediate in the...
