in this paper, a batch hydrogenation reactor performance was modeled using a hydrodynamic and reaction sub-models. the reaction expressions were obtained from the information reported in literature. experimental studies were conducted in order to generate the experimental data needed to validate the model. the comparison between the experimental data and model predictions seems quite satisfacto...

Chiral iridium catalysts have now been used in the asymmetric hydrogenation of largely unfunctionalized olefins for a decade. Recently, they have also been applied to substrates with more exotic functional groups, including non-coordinating ones. These, unlike coordinating substituents, cannot direct asymmetric hydrogenation by rhodiumor ruthenium-based catalysts. This review discusses several ...

Hydrogenation of benzoic acid using monoand bimetallic catalyst of Ru, Pd, Co, and Re yielded different products. It was observed that 5% Ru/C was an active catalyst for hydrogenation of both aromatic ring and carboxylic group, while Pd/C catalyst hydrogenated only aromatic ring. Ru-Sn/Al2O3 is a chemoselective catalyst for hydrogenation of –COOH group of benzoic acid.

backgrounds and aims: semi automated processes of iranian tire manufacturing factories lead to significant occupational exposures to benzene and toluene compounds. this study was conducted to evaluate the magnitude and risk of workers exposures. materials and methods: personal monitoring of 100 workers (10 groups) was performed using niosh method no.1501 in two tire manufacturing factories in t...

INTRODUCTION Asymmetric hydrogenation of unsaturated organic compounds has been established as one of the most efficient methods for the preparation of chiral, non-racemic substrates. Among hydrogenation of various substrates, the asymmetric hydrogenation of heteroarenes provides a straightforward approach to a wide range of enantiomerically pure saturated heterocycles, which are subunits of ma...

Optically active -arylalkylamines are an important class of compounds that are widely used in organic and pharmaceutical synthesis, and much effort has been made to develop efficient asymmetric synthetic methods for them.[1] Asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation of enamides, initiated by Kagan et al. ,[2] provides a direct and convenient route to chiral amine derivatives. However, many well-known ...
