Sv. Vinogradov et al., Kinetic patterns of parallel dehydrogenation of a solvent and liquid-phasehydrogenation of substituted nitro compounds, RUSS J PH C, 73(11), 1999, pp. 1741-1745
Parallel dehydrogenation of 2-propanol was studied under the conditions of
liquid-phase catalytic hydrogenation of substituted aromatic nitro compound
s on Raney nickel in binary 2-propanol-water solvents. The kinetic patterns
of parallel dehydrogenation were found to be determined by the natures and
positions of substituents in nitro compound molecules and their adsorbabil
ity and reactivity. The special features of the mechanism of liquid-phase c
atalytic hydrogenation of the nitro group in aromatic nitro compounds are d
iscussed.
