Reaction pathway control

In hydrocarbon oxidation processes to produce alcohol, there is always a degree of overoxidation. The alcohol is often further oxidized to waste carboxylic acids and carbon oxides. If boric acid is introduced to the reactor, the alcohol reacts to form a borate ester, which protects the alcohol from further oxidation. The introduction of boric acid terminates the by-product formation pathway and greatly increases the product yield. The borate ester of alcohol is then hydrolyzed, releasing boric acid for recycle back to the process. This kind of reaction pathway control has been applied to a commercial process, resulting in about a 50% reduction in waste generation once the process was optimized. [Pg.442]

This book deals with four major areas of selectivity stereoselectivity clusters, alloys, and poisoning shape selectivity and reaction pathway control. An overview of the book and reviews of each of the four major areas are included as introductory chapters. Each review is followed by individual contributions by attendees of the symposium. [Pg.7]

This review encompasses the general area of selectivity in catalysis as well as the four major specific areas discussed in this book Stereoselectivity Clusters, Alloys and Poisoning Shape Selectivity and Reaction Pathway Control. Examples are taken from the literature for each of these four areas of recent articles that focus on selectivity in catalytic reactions. Specific reviews of the four areas listed above can be found in the overview chapters by D. Forster and coworkers, K. J. Klabunde, M. E. Davis and coworkers and H. C. Foley and M. Klein. [Pg.8]

This review is an overview of recent literature research articles that deal with selectivity in catalysis. Four specific areas including stereoselectivity clusters, alloys and poisoning shape selectivity and reaction pathway control will be discussed. This review is not meant to be a complete discussion of these areas. It represents a small fraction of the research presently underway and a very minor fraction of the available literature in this subject. The order of topics will follow the four major areas oudined above, however, there is no particular order for the articles discussed in each section. [Pg.8]

Reaction pathway control is a general term implying that reactions can occur by more than one path. Use of specific paths might be governed by a variety of phenomena which may be different for each different reaction. For example, thermal reactions may have entirely different pathways than photochemical, electrochemical, sonochemical and other systems. Electron... [Pg.17]

The above literature review gives a comparison of different ways to control selectivity for both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic reactions. There are several common features for the four areas of stereoselectivity metal clusters, alloys and poisoning shape selectivity and reaction pathway control. In fact, many times more than one of these areas may be involved in a catalytic system. Some common features for all of these areas include precise control of the structural and compositional properties of the catalysts. This paper serves as an overview for the other manuscripts in this book. Specific review chapters on each of the four areas can be found in reviews that follow by D. Forster et al., K. J. Klabunde et al., M. E. Davis et al., and H. C. Foley and M. Klein et al. [Pg.24]

Enantiomeric excess and catalytic activity of the asymmetric hydrogenation of ethyl pyruvate over (-)cinchonidine modified Pt/carrier catalysts depend significantly on the specific Pt surface area This is due to the morphology of the Pt particles and to surface chemical Pt/support interaction. Thus, reaction pathway control is possible by varying these parameters. [Pg.174]

In 2008, Zhang et al. succeeded in a three-component cascade reaction using achiral Ru and chiral Zr catalysis [14]. Under the influence of achiral Rh(OAc)j, oxonium ylide was generated from diazo compound 37 and alcohol 38. Consequently, this reactive intermediate was trapped by aldehyde 39 through a Lewis acid-promoted enantioselective aldol-type addition, yielding the chiral building blocks 40 with high levels of stereocontrol (Scheme 9.11). It should be noted that the presence of acidic Zr catalyst can also suppress the undesired irreversible intramolecular proton transfer of the oxonium ylide to benefit reaction pathway control. [Pg.370]

Blends that contain no nylon can also be prepared by reactive compatibilization. However, interest in these systems has been limited somewhat by lack of control of the reaction pathways. Eor polyester-based systems, epoxide functionaHty appears to be an effective chemistry, involving reaction of the polyester chain ends (183,184). [Pg.415]

Since the cyanide anion is an ambident nucleophile, isonitriles R—NC may be obtained as by-products. The reaction pathway to either nitrile or isonitrile can be controlled by proper choice of the counter cation for the cyanide anion. [Pg.185]

Carboxylic acids can be converted by anodic oxidation into radicals and/or carbo-cations. The procedure is simple, an undivided beaker-type cell to perform the reaction, current control, and usually methanol as solvent is sufficient. A scale up is fairly easy and the yields are generally good. The pathway towards either radicals or carbocations can be efficiently controlled by the reaction conditions (electrode material, solvent, additives) and the structure of the carboxylic acids. A broad variety of starting compounds is easily and inexpensively available from natural and petrochemical sources, or by highly developed procedures for the synthesis of carboxylic acids. [Pg.142]

It is the basic task of electrochemical kinetics to establish the functional relations between the rate of an electrochemical reaction at a given electrode and the various external control parameters the electrode potential, the reactant concentrations, the temperature, and so on. From an analysis of these relations, certain conclusions are drawn as to the reaction mechanism prevailing at a given electrode (the reaction pathway and the nature of the slow step). [Pg.523]

The chemistry at the electrified aqueous/metal interface is quite fascinating, as its structure, properties, and dynamics can significantly influence reaction energetics, dictate the kinetics that control catalytic selectivity, and open up novel reaction pathways and mechanisms. [Pg.123]

Which reaction pathway dominates is dependent on the O s) concentration and the relative rates of carbonate formation and desorption of the gaseous C4, C6 and C7 gaseous products some control of these is possible38 by varying the propene-to-oxygen ratio and also the oxidant, such as substituting N20 for 02. [Pg.93]
