Solid catalysts in organic synthesis

Review. Olah et al. have reviewed use of this resin sulfonic acid as a solid catalyst in organic synthesis (181 references).

The mathematical description of diffusion of more than one component is a complex problem and not germane to our subject. However, with the present trend toward increasing use of solid catalysts in organic synthesis, many situations arise in which multicomponent diffusion is involved. This problem was considered in Chapter 3 and two relatively simple expressions were given (Equations 3.40 and 3.41) of that chapter] for estimating the diffusivity of a...
