Reaction compiler

This volume of Catalysis of Organic Reactions compiles 64 papers presented at the 22nd conference organized by the Organic Reactions Catalysis Society (ORCS) (www.orcs.orgl. The conference was held March 30-April 3, 2008 in Richmond, Virginia at The Jefferson Hotel where these papers reported recent developments in catalysis as apphed to the production of chemicals. Each of the papers documenting these presentations and published here was edited by ORCS members (drawn from both academia and industry) and was peer-reviewed by experts in related fields of study. 

Finally it may be added that in the earlier days of organic chemistry the use of kinetic investigations was not so widely applied as might have been desirable. The ways of setting up reaction mechanisms were merely based upon the enormous knowledge of known reactions compiled in the literature. To us the only natural way is to corroborate such suggestions by kinetic experiments. 

For the A-Sg2 mechanism, the entropy changes on activation are expected to be negative as translational and rotational freedom is also lost in the transition state of this mechanism. The experimental AS values for A-Sfc 2 reactions compiled by Matesich [52] (and supplemented by the writer, Table 4 [24, 44, 68—82]) are between —1 and —37 eu as far as they are concerned with reactions of H30+ with electrically neutral substrates. According to Matesich s findings [52], there is a rough linear correlation between AS and log k2 at 25 °C. The lower the second-order rate coefficient, k2, the more negative is AS. ... 

The CCSD(T)//MP4(SDQ)/aug-cc-pVTZ method, with the extrapolation to the complete basis set limit using the aug-cc-pVTZ and aug-cc-pVQZ basis sets, yielded a standard deviation of 0.58kcal/mol when compared to a select set of experimental values of gas-phase deprotonation reactions compiled in the NIST online database, a data set with uncertainty of values extremely useful in determining accurate pKa calculations and will be referenced throughout the review. 

A complete list of references of both theoretical and experimental papers will be found in a bibhography of all photonuclear reactions compiled by Toms. ... 

Below 100 Mev the relative yield of radionuclides is affected by the high thresholds for some complex reactions. Compilation of yield data for 50 and 87 Mev X-rays are given by Holtzman and Sugarman, and for 70 Mev X-rays by Edwards and McMillan In general one notices that the single...

This part will discuss the use of ionic liquids and their role in the key chemical transformations of saccharides into value added chemicals such as 5-HMF. We also hope to provide some insights into the key mechanism of the transformation reactions compile, discuss, elaborate, compare and contrast the different types of catalyst system, reaction conditions, reactors, solvents and novel techniques reported. 

Preparative aspects of inorganic chemistry are covered by the Encyclopedia of Chemical Reactions compiled by C. A. Jacobson and C. A. Hampel (Reinhold, 1946-59) which lists known chemical reactions in eight volumes. Elements are arranged alphabetically by their chemical symbol and for each its reactions with other elements or compounds are listed, with the formula, a comment and the bibliographic reference. Each volume contains an index to reagents and to substances obtained, arranged alphabetically by formula.
