EFFECT OF THE STRUCTURE OF SUBSTITUTED PROPARGYL AND ALLYL ALCOHOLS ON THE RATE OF THEIR LIQUID PHASE HYDROGENATION ON A Pd-Ru ALLOY MEMBRANE CATALYST

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00956936

The rates of hydrogenation of substituted propargyl and allyl alcohols in the liquid phase on a Pd-Ru alloy membrane catalyst are described by a two-parameter Taft equation which takes into account the inductive and steric effects of the substituents.The values of the parameters at 363 K with H2 at atmospheric pressure are: ρ^* = -0.20, δ = 0.10 and ρ⁺ = -1.1, δ = 1.3 respectively.
