Oxidative carbonylation of alcohols with PdCh affords the carbonate 572 and oxalate 573(512-514]. The selectivity of the mono- and dicarbonylation depends on the CO pressure and reaction conditions. In order to make the reaction catalytic, Cu(II) and Fe(III) salts are used. Under these conditions, water is formed and orthoformate is added in order to trap the water. Di-/-butyl peroxide is also used for catalytic oxidative carbonylation to give carbonates and oxalates in the presence of 2,6-dimetliylpyridine(515]. 

Careful control of temperature, pressure and reaction time enables the yield of the various intermediate boranes to be optimized. Eor example, B4H10 is best prepared by storing B2H6 under pressure at 25° for 10 days this gives a 15% yield and quantitative conversion according to the... 

With SC-CO2 high solubilities can be attained by increasing the pressure, and reactions can be carried out over a wide range of temperatures, pressures and densities. SC-CO2 is readily available, nontoxic, nonflammable, chemically inert under many conditions, inexpensive, environmentally acceptable and easy to remove and recycle. It has received considerable attention as a reaction medium for organic synthesis [77d, 80] as well as in some large-scale extraction processes in food chemistry [81], The Diels-Alder reaction in SC-CO2 has been investigated quite thoroughly. 

Catalytic activity was measured as a function of turnover frequency [moles product/(mole catalyst) (hour)]. The standard run has a turnover frequency of 105 10. All the parameters investigated were perturbed about this standard and included the effects of catalyst, aldehyde, KOH and water concentration, initial CO pressure, and reaction time. In addition, a few selected runs were also conducted to examine the effects of hydrogen in the gas phase as well as the relative ease with which other aldehydes could be reduced. 

Effects of the inlet H2/C0 ratio and reaction temperature on H2+C0 conversion and products selectivity were studied at constant initial pressure and reaction time with non-decomposed samples of Fe3(C0) -NaY adduct (U Fe). 

The solvent employed in asymmetric catalytic reactions may also have a dramatic influence on the reaction rate as well as the enantioselectivity, possibly because the solvent molecule is also involved in the catalytic cycle. Furthermore, the reaction temperature also has a profound influence on stereoselectivity. The goal of asymmetric hydrogenation or transfer hydrogenation studies is to find an optimal condition with a combination of chiral ligand, counterion, metal, solvent, hydrogen pressure, and reaction temperature under which the reactivity and the stereoselectivity of the reaction will be jointly maximized. 

Numerous variables influence the yields and selectivity of surface reactions, for example (i) nature and loading of the metal salt or organometallic precursor adsorbed on the inorganic oxide (ii) nature of the inorganic oxide (iii) physical and chemical properties of the surface as such or after addition of some reactants (e.g., alkali or acids) (iv) nature and composition of the gaseous phase (v) temperature, pressure and reaction time [6].

The general behavior of rhodium catalysts with respect to stability thus appears to be similar to that seen for cobalt catalysts an inverse relationship between carbon monoxide partial pressure and reaction temperature is apparent. Stability decreases rapidly with increasing temperature, and raising the pressure tends to improve catalyst stability. It is not certain whether the adverse effects of increasing the H2/CO ratio are merely the result of a decreased CO partial pressure, or whether increased hydrogen partial pressure induces catalyst instability. 

The stability of soluble ruthenium carbonyl species toward decomposition to metal is a function of both carbon monoxide partial pressure and reaction temperature, similar to the situation described earlier for cobalt complexes and shown in Fig. 4. However, a quantitative study of these variables on ruthenium stability has not yet been reported. 

In effect, this is a partial combustion reaction and requires very careful control to prevent overoxidation. In fact, by modifying the reaction conditions (alcohol-to-oxygen ratio, temperature, pressure, and reaction time), the oxidation proceeds smoothly to ethanoic acid ... 

Any process variable which increases the HDM reaction rate will decrease the effectiveness factor and hence the distribution parameter. Effects of hydrogen partial pressure and reaction temperature on the deposited metal profiles were obtained by Tamm et al. (1981) and are shown in Figs. 45 and 46. Consistent with the HDM reaction mechanism, both higher temperature and hydrogen enhance the reaction rate (see Section IV) and, therefore, decrease the distribution parameter. 

Oxidative carbonylation of MeOH with PdCl2 affords dimethyl carbonate (233) and dimethyl oxalate (232) [137,138], Selectivity of the mono- and dicarbonylation depends on CO pressure and reaction conditions. 

To show how the inside loop may be modified to handle chemical equilibrium, consider for simplicity the case of specified pressure, and reaction occurring only in the liquid phase. For the jth reaction the equilibrium condition may be expressed as ... 

Temperature and Pressure Dependence of Coke Deposition. The initial hydrogen pressure and reaction temperature were varied to determine their effects on coke deposition. The results are illustrated in Figure 2. The system temperature has more effect on the coke deposition than the hydrogen pressure. An increase of reaction temperature severely increases coke deposition on the catalyst. Decreasing hydrogen pressure to a lesser extent increases coke deposition. The results also indicate that 2000 psi of H2 and 400° C were proper for coking catalysts. 

Where / is the temperature dependent coefficient (fi = f(T)) and a is the index of the burning rate, which describes the pressure dependence. For deflagrations a < 1, however, this value increases to a > 1 for detonations. The DDT transition can occur when an explosive is ignited in a confined tube, where the gases formed cannot fully escape. This results in a sharp increase of the pressure and reaction velocity. Therefore, in a detonating explosive, the reaction velocity can increase above the speed of sound, turning the deflagration into a detonation. 

Slow decomposition of PTFE occurs above the application temperature of 260°C. However, for a noticeable decomposition to occur, temperatures above 400°C are needed. The primary decomposition products are tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and difluorocarbon diradicals (CF2). Further products are formed by secondary reactions, depending on temperature, reaction pressure and reaction atmosphere. The typical main products are TFE, hexafluoropropene (HEP), cyclo-perfluorobutane (C-C4F8) and other fluorocarbons. Most of these substances are nontoxic, but highly toxic substances such as perfluoroisobutene or fluorophosgene are also formed under some reaction conditions. 

Further kinetic measurements of the type made by Kowalsky were carried out by Semenov and co-workers [61] using a vessel washed with hydrofluoric acid and coated with potassium tetraborate. The first limits in this vessel ranged from 0.16 to 0.07 torr between 460 and 600 °C. It was thus possible to penetrate much further into the explosion region than peviously, while at the same time keeping the pressure and reaction velocity low and so avoiding the heat dissipation problem. Initial pressures ranging from 0.3 to 1.2 torr were used. The results, as did those of...

Nickel catalyst is known to be effective for decomposition of cellulose, a model compound for biomass. As a reference to the oxide catalyst, the effect of nickel catalyst on gasification of cellulose with partial oxidation was measured by changing the amount of nickel catalyst added. The nickel catalyst was added in doses of 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0,03, and 0.04 g, and the amount of product gas was measured. As previously indicated, the temperature, pressure, and reaction time were set at 400°C, 25 MPa, and 5 min, respectively.

The effects of the three operating variables (temperature, hydrogen partial pressure and reaction time) on extent of hydrogenation have also been quantified following the same procedure as for liquid yield (as well as for the other response variables studied). Results, shown in Table 3 reveal that the three operating conditions also affect in the same way to both liquid yield and extent of saturation. Terr erature and duration of the... 

The parent methylenecyclopropane (16, R = H) as well as alkylidenecyclopropanes react with carbon dioxide under palladium(O) catalysis to yield furan-2(5//)-ones 17 and 18. Although a complex mixture of cyclotrimers, cyclotetramers and higher oligomers is obtained from the parent MCP, under optimized conditions with regard to the palladium/phosphorus ratio, polarity of the solvent, carbon dioxide pressure and reaction temperature, the [3-f2] cycloadduct 17 (R = H) can be obtained in 80% yield.
