E. Toukoniitty et al., Modeling of the enantioselective hydrogenation of 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione over Pt/Al2O3 catalyst, CATAL TODAY, 66(2-4), 2001, pp. 411-417
A kinetic model was developed for the enantioselective hydrogenation of 1-p
henyl-1,2-propanedione based on parallel racemic and enantioselective route
s in the presence of cinchonidine. The Langmuir-Hinshelwood type of competi
tive adsorption approach was used in the model, which was combined with a b
atch reactor model. The proposed model could sufficiently describe the obse
rved kinetic results. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
