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 ...
Ionic liquids are excellent solvents for conducting biphasic hydrogenation reactions offering many advantages over both related homogeneous processes and biphasic reactions in other alternative solvents. The relevant physicochemical properties of ionic liq ...
The Diels-Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and methyl acrylate in ionic liquids has been studied in detail. The effect of contamination of the ionic liquids by common impurities, viz. sodium and chloride ions, and water, on the selectivity has been i ...
The catalytic activity of the iridium complexes involved in methanol carbonylation is significantly enhanced when the carbonyliodoplatinum dimer [PtI2(CO)]2 (10') is added to the reaction mixt. Under CO this complex readily affords th ...
Two nitrile-functionalized alkyltriflouroborate anion based complexes [(Ph3P)(2)N][CH3CH(BF3)CH2CN] and [K(18-crown-6)][CH3CH(BF3)CH2CN] were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods and single X-ray diffraction analysis. In the former comple ...
Arene hydrogenation by homogeneous catalysts is a highly controversial area of research, with many of the mononuclear complexes shown to catalyse the reaction, being found to be pre-catalysts to nanoparticles, on closer examination. The solvent properties ...
We demonstrate the use of laser-induced. fluorescence confocal spectroscopy to measure analyte-stimulated enhanced green fluorescent protein (egfp) synthesis by genetically modified Escherichia coli bioreporter cells. Induction is measured in cell lysates ...
As a consequence of inherently weak interactions between the chloride anion and the 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium cation (ca. 15 kJ/mol), chloride dissociation from a transition-metal complex can be thermodynamically disfavored in ionic liquids. Therefore, w ...
Many low oxidation state transition metal (carbonyl) clusters are salts and are highly soluble in ionic liquids. Since many are also effective catalysts/precatalysts for hydrogenation reactions, we have conducted a catalytic study of these compounds in ion ...
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 ...
