Microbiological dehydrogenation of tomatidine

Dehydrogenation of Benzene on Liquid

The reactions of benzene on Al100 + have been investigated as a function of cluster temperature (300−1100 K) and relative kinetic energy (1−14 eV) by low-energy ion-beam methods and mass spectrometry. Benzene chemisorbs on both solid and liquid aluminum clusters to generate Al100C6D6 . A series of Al100−n + (n = 1, 2, 3, ...) products was also observed. As the cluster temperature was raised abo...

Dehydrogenation by Heterogeneous Catalysts

Pyridine Hydrogenation and Piperidine Dehydrogenation

The dehydrogenation of piperidine has been studied and found to have an order of -1.5 with respect to the hydrogen partial pressure. By combining these results with those obtained for pyridine hydrogenation on the same catalyst a complete rate equation for piperidine dehydrogenation together with the stoichiometric number of the rate-determining step of these reactions could be derived. This nu...

Dehydrogenation Mechanism in Flavoprotein Catalysis

I "C -X-H+Acc(ox)--> C =X+Acc(red)H 2 I / H This type of reaction should be differentiated from the oxygenase reaction, in which the substrate electrons are transferred directly to oxygen. The limiting chemical step of the dehydrogenation, i.e., the rupture of the kinetically stable substrate C-H bond, is catalyzed by enzymes which have either pyridine nucleotide, pyridoxal-phosphate, flavin-, ...

Homogeneous Catalyst for Alkane Dehydrogenation

The removal of hydrogen from alkanes to give alkenes is an important commercial objective, as alkenes are widely used as organic feedstocks in industrial processes involving chemical synthesis and polymerisation. This reaction is, however, significantly endothermic, needing up to 30 kcal per mole, and normally occurring at temperatures exceeding 400°C in the presence of heterogeneous supported ...
