Multi-scale promoting effects of lead for palladium catalyzed aerobic oxidative coupling of methylacrolein with methanol
A highly efficient Pd2Pb8/alumina catalyst was prepared, which provided the highest turnover number (TON) of 302 for aerobic oxidative coupling of methylacrolein with methanol. The enhanced catalytic efficiency could be attributed to the multi-scale (micron, nano and atom scales) promoting effects of the pre-loaded Pb species. This journal is
IMPROVED METHOD FOR THE CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION OF ALKYL(METH)ACRYLATES WITH MULTIPLE CATALYST RECYCLING
The invention relates to an improved method for the continuous production of alkyl(methyl)acrylates by transesterification of methyl(meth)acrylate with alcohols that are heavy in comparison with methanol. A special processing technique makes it possible to obtain new levels of product quality. Very high space-time-overall yields can also be obtained. The invention is characterized by the multiple use of a homogeneous catalyst which thereby reduces the costs of auxiliary agents significantly.
