Reduction with 2-Propanol over Hydrous Tin(IV) Oxide

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.67.1107

The reduction with 2-propanol as a hydrogen source over hydrous tin(IV) oxide has proved to be successful.Hydrous tin(IV) oxide was prepared from stannic(IV) chloride by precipitation with aqueous ammonia, followed by drying and calcination at 300 deg C for 5 h.The specific surface area was 150 m² g^-1.The reductions were carried out in vapor phase at temperatures of from 300 to 330 deg C.The reduction of aliphatic carboxylic acids gives the corresponding alcohols.Aromatic carboxylic acids and their derivatives were further reduced, and the corresponding hydrocarbons were obtained.The reductions of aromatic ketons and the ...
