Enhancing the selectivity of the hydrogenation of naphthalene to tetralin by high temperature water

Abstract: Enhancing selectivity and an efficient use of feedstocks in chemical reactions using greener methods is an important aspect of green chemistry. In this work, we conducted the hydrogenation of naphthalene to produce tetralin catalyzed by a cheap Fe-Mo based catalyst with and without high temperature water (HTW). The effects of various factors on the reaction, such as density of water, reaction temperature, reaction time and amounts of catalyst, were investigated. It was demonstrated that the addition of water c… Show more

“…Our previous work indicated that hydrogen exchange between water and naphthalene occurred during the hydrogenation of the aromatic compound in the presence of water. 17 However, quantitative study of hydrogen exchange between water and organic compounds remains scarce.…”

“…The focus of the controversy is whether the SCW takes part in the transformation of hydrocarbons. A part of previous literature considered SCW as a reactant [59,61,[67][68][69][70], which participated the transformation of hydrocarbons through the direct H-abstraction (H• and HO• donation, known as free a radical mechanism) or hydrolysis (H + and HO − donation, known as an ionic mechanism), while some just regarded SCW as a solvent [35], which only had some physical effects on the transformation of hydrocarbons [71].…”

“…Recently, high temperature water has attracted much attention as environmentally benign media for reactions, such as oxidation, extraction, hydrolysis, gasification,, hydrogenation or dehydrogenation, and lignin carbonization, and synthesis . In the present study, we studied the conversion kinetics of compound 2 and 1 in high temperature water.…”
