Vapor-phase Reactions of Organic Compounds with Oxygen


Book Description

A series of gas-phase, peroxide-initiated oxidations of isobutane was carried out at 100C with pressures of isobutane ranging from 1 to 13 atmospheres. The yields of hydroperoxide increased with increasing pressure: from 16% at one atmosphere to 92% at 13 atmospheres (with







Gas Phase Reactions in Organic Synthesis


Book Description

Flash Vacuum Thermolysis (FVT) techniques have become well-established methods and occupy an increasingly important place in synthesis. Gas Phase Reactions in Organic Synthesis is a complete review of the applications of flash vacuum thermolysis in organic chemistry; it features new developments in FVT, flow thermolysis and vacuum gas-solid reactions which have appeared in scientific literature since 1980.






















Partial Catalytic Oxidation of Several Organic Compounds in the Vapor Phase with Temperature Control


Book Description

The advent of the chamber process for the manufacture of sulfuric acid brought to the field of commercial inorganic chemistry what was probably the first large-scale application of the phenomenon of catalysis. In the field of organic chemistry it had been employed for thousands of years in the manufacture of intoxicating beverages, but it was not until the time of Berzelius that it was recognized as a distinct influence upon the speed of chemical reactions and was given its present name.
