Av. Mashkina et al., PALLADIUM ACTIVITY IN 3-THIOLENE-1,1-DIOXIDE HYDROGENATION IN THE PRESENCE OF ALKALIS, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 60(1), 1997, pp. 157-162
Metallic palladium supported on gamma-Al2O3 exhibits low activity in 3
-thiotene-1,1-dioxide hydrogenation in alkaline alcohol solutions. It
converts the above thiolene to 3-alkoxy-thiolane-1,1-dioxide, which is
hydrogenated to thiolane-1,1-dioxide, at elevated temperatures favori
ng Pd sulfurization to PdS.
