“…The vanadium oxides formed in the oxidation of o-xylene are From the color and chemical analyses of used catalysts initially charged as vanadium pentoxide, it definitely appeared that reduction occurred during reaction. Indications of this have been published (14,17). X-ray and chemical measurements were undertaken to determine the actual oxide phases present.…”

“…Vanadium pentoxide is also the best catalyst for the oxidation of anthracene to anthraquinone (73). Senseman and Nelson (74) have obtained yields of 81%, using anthracene and air at 410-25°in the presence of vanadium pentoxide catalyst. Their experiments also indicate that in this reaction the hydrocarbon is oxidized by the pentoxide and the resulting lower oxide is reoxidized by the free oxygen, present.…”

One of the most active fields in experimental chemistry is that of organic catalysis. Several reactions of this type are of interest not only to the chemist, but also, because of their development into reactions of industrial importance, to the sympathizer with chemical endeavors. The methanol synthesis seems to have been rather completely outlined in the available literature. A survey of this reaction is presented from the time of Patari to the present, as well as a consideration of the synthesis of higher alcohols from carbon monoxide and hydrogen, the high-pressure hydrogenation of coal and petroleum, and the vapor phase oxidation of benzene to maleic anhydride, of naphthalene to phthalic anhydride, and of anthracene to anthraquinone. Organic catalysis, especially those reactions involving the use of high pressure, is one of the most important practical fields of the day and numerous developments along this line may be expected in the near future.

“…shown in catalytic vapor-phase oxidations of organic compounds during the last decade or more has resulted in a number of well-known successes. Particular reference is made to the oxidation of the aromatic hydrocarbons, naphthalene (1), benzene (6), and anthracene (5). Gibbs (3) has found that passing a mixture of toluene and air over vanadium pentoxide at temperatures between 200°and 400°C.…”
