Silver(I) p-toluene sulfonate (A) is shown to absorb tertiary phosphines from organic solution and to restore PPh3-inhibited homogeneous hydrogenation of alkenes by RhC1L3 (LPPh3) to a non-inhibited rate. Treatment of RhC1L3 with ethylene in presence of A followed by addition of a second ...
Selective hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexene using a Ru catalyst suspended in an aqueous solution in a mechanically agitated tetraphase reactor: a stu... The reactivity of Ru based catalysts in the benzene selective hydrogenation to cyclohexene has been studied. The reaction has been carried out...
Under optimized conditions, the Faradaic efficiency and partial current density of multicarbon products reach 90.0% and 3.1 A cm−2, corresponding to a carbon selectivity of 100.0% and yield of 75.0%, outperforming thermocatalytic CO hydrogenation. The scale-up demonstration using an electro...
(CO2→ C2+ products) is decoupled into two concurrent reactions occurring over two independent, selective catalyst layers: CO2 electro-reduction into CO (CO2→ CO) on the Ag catalyst layer and CO further hydrogenation and/or coupling into C2+ products (CO → C2+ products) on the Cu catalyst...
It was found that alkenes in the (s)-cis conformation experience a large rate acceleration while (s)-trans restrained alkenes undergo hydrogenation slowly. Ultimately, this reactivity aspect was exploited in a novel method for the monohydrogenation of dienes based on conformational r...
