Kinetic and Mechanistic Study of the H-Transfer Reduction of Dimethyl Itaconate by a Rh/TPPTS Catalyst under Biphasic Conditions: Evidence for a Rhodametallacycle Intermediate

“…[11] A previous study [7] allowed the extraction of an activation energy of 71 kJ⋅mol -1 , in good agreement with those reported for other hydrogen transfer reductions of olefins. [12] The study also led us to propose the semi-empirical rate model of Equation 3, taking into account all the results obtained during that preliminary study.…”

Microreactors for Dynamic, High Throughput Screening of Fluid/Liquid Molecular Catalysis

“…and benzylamine to yield a mixture of the ketones 6 and 5. [10,11] In the case of tert-butylethylene (2 a), only 5 a was isolated (94 % yield).In conclusion, we identified a chelation-assisted, Rh Icatalyzed ortho-alkylation reaction of ketimines with olefins. This type of ortho-alkylation shows generality as well as efficiency; the reactions of various olefins (including 1-alkenes, a,w-dienes, and even internal olefins) with ketimines result in high yields of the corresponding ortho-alkylated products.…”

Hydrogenation of fast pyrolyis oil and model compounds in a two-phase aqueous organic system using homogeneous ruthenium catalysts

“…In the case mass transfer effects play a major role and interfere with the kinetics, as is well possible in biphasic reactive L-L systems, activation energies below 20-30 kJ/mol are expected [42].…”
