A series of imidazolium salts with the nitrile functional group attached to the alkyl side chain, viz. [C(n)CNmim][X] (where C(n)CNmim is the 1-alkylnitrile-3-methylimidazolium cation and C-n = (CH2)(n), n = 1-4; X = Cl, PF6, and BF4) and [C(3)CNdmim][X] ( ...
This work covers homogeneous and biphasic catalysis in ionic liquids and water. The work presented herein is divided into two major parts: catalytic hydrogenation and catalytic hydroformylation. The first part also serves as an introduction to catalysis in ...
The catalytic properties of Pd and Pt supported on woven glass fibers (GF) were investigated in the three-phase hydrogenation of nitrobenzene (NB). Over all catalysts, a 100% yield of aniline was attained. The catalytic activity for the best catalysts was ...
In a water/chlorobenzene biphasic reaction, the hydrogenation of trans-cinnamaldehyde, catalyzed by water-soluble Ru(II)-phosphane complexes at pH 3.04 (phosphate buffer), produces a 61:39 mixture of cinnamyl alcohol and dihydrocinnamaldehyde at 1 bar H-2; ...
Optimal conditions for chlorotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) (Wilkinson's catalyst) catalyzed selective satn. of a double bond in the presence of a nitro function are developed. Aryl iodide and benzyl ether are also tolerated under these hydrogenation c ...
NOVELTY - A 2-butene-1,4-diol is prepared by hydrogenating 2-butyne-1,4-diol in the presence of a structured catalyst and in the absence of a solvent. USE - For preparing 2-butene-2,4-diol that is an important industrial intermediate in the preparation of ...
The reactions of (eta(6)-C6H6)RuCl2 and (eta(6)-p-cymene)RuCl2 With hydrogen in the presence of the water-soluble phosphines tppts (meta-trisulfonated triphenylphosphine) and pta (1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) afforded as the main species [(e ...
The solubility of hydrogen and the corresponding Henry coefficients for 11 ionic liquids have been determined in situ at 100 atm H-2 pressure and are much lower than expected; attempts to correlate the solubility of hydrogen in the ionic liquids with the r ...
The hydrogenation of benzene and other arene substrates under biphasic conditions is evaluated using the catalyst precursor Ru(eta(6)-C10H14)(pta)Cl-2 (pta = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) immobilised in water and 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoro ...
Cross-correlated relaxation of multiple-quantum coherences in NMR was used to investigate hydrogen bonds in Watson-Crick base pairs, based on the interference between various relaxation mechanisms. [on SciFinder (R)] ...
