Reduction system, catalytic

Nonselective catalytic reduction systems are often referred to as three-way conversions. These systems reduce NO, unbumed hydrocarbon, and CO simultaneously. In the presence of the catalyst, the NO are reduced by the CO resulting in N2 and CO2 (37). A mixture of platinum and rhodium has been generally used to promote this reaction (37). It has also been reported that a catalyst using palladium has been used in this appHcation (1). The catalyst operation temperature limits are 350 to 800°C, and 425 to 650°C are the most desirable. Temperatures above 800°C result in catalyst sintering (37). Automotive exhaust control systems are generally NSCR systems, often shortened to NCR.

Reduction of amides is an important preparative method for the synthesis of primary amines. Reducing agents used for this purpose include lithium aluminum hydride, sodium borohydride, triphenyl-phosphine (Staudinger reduction), and thiols. In the present case it is important to consider the compatibility of the reduction system with the carboxylic and methanesulfonic acid functions. Platinum and palladium arc often used for catalytic reduction. 

Other methods of reduction include the use of metal-acid systems, catalytic hydrogenation over Raney nickel or palladium-on-charcoal, and modified metal hydride reducing agents such as Red-Al .209... 

In this case the Birc/i-reduction system (sodium in liquid ammonia) is used. Normally this system is employed to reduce aromatic rings to 1,4-dihydrobenzenes. Here it is advantageous because in contrast to catalytic hydrogenation it does not touch olefinic double bonds and the expected alcohol is generated in 95 % yield (see universal mechanism on the left). 

Titanium and tin are important in terms of photocatalytic and sensor appHcations. There is insufficient space to continue this description here, but the Hterature on these topics can be found elsewhere [222-232]. Tungstated zirconia, for example, is a promising candidate for an ammonia exhaust gas sensor required to control a Urea-SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system in diesel-engined cars [233, 234]. 

Catalytic Processes. Catalytic processes lead to intramolecular and intermolecular C-C bond constructions which are usually directly analogous to the stoichiometric reactions. This topic was reviewed in 1983. Catalytic processes often lead to reduction rather than alkene regeneration this is more likely to happen with B12 as a catalyst than it is with a cohaloxime. Schef-fold pioneered the use of vitamin B12 as a catalyst for C-C bond formation, and Tada pioneered the use of model complexes such as cobaloximes. Several of the reactions described in the section on stoichiometric reactions have also been performed cat-aly tically, as mentioned in that section. Commonly used chemical reductants include Sodium Bomhydride and Zinc metal. Electrochemical reduction has also been used. A novel catalytic system with a Ru trisbipyridine unit covalently tethered to a B12 derivative has been used for photochemically driven catalytic reactions using triethanolamine as the reductant. A catalytic system using DODOH complexes can lead to reduction products or alkene regeneration depending upon the reaction conditions. These catalytic B12 and model complex systems all utilize a...

In this chapter, reagents are classihed mainly into three categories (1) for catalytic oxidation of phenols, (2) for phenolic oxidation with nonmetallic compounds and (3) for phenohc oxidation with metallic compounds. In the 21st century, regardless of metallic or nonmetallic compounds, catalytic oxidation systems with high efficiency must be constructed. K stoichiometric amounts of reagents are employed, efficient oxidation-reduction systems should be invented.
