Abstract:
In the present work, tin-sulfur based catalysts were prepared using Na2SO3 and (CH3SO3)2Sn and were tested in acetylene hydrochlorination. Based on the analysis of experiments results, the acetylene conversion of (CH3SO3)2Sn/S@AC is still over 90%after a 50 h reaction, at the reaction conditions of T = 200 oC, VHCl/VC2H2 = 1.1:1.0 and C2H2-GSHV = 15 h-1. According to the results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), HCl adsorption experiments, and acetylene temperature programmed desorption (C2H2-TPD), it is reasonable to conclude that the interaction between Sn and S not only can retard the oxidation of Sn2+ in catalysts but also strengthen the reactant adsorption capacity of tin-based catalysts. Furthermore, results obtained from nitrogen adsorption/desorption and XPS proved that the CH3SO3- can effectively decrease the coke deposition of (CH3SO3)2Sn/AC and thus prolong the lifetime of (CH3SO3)2Sn/AC.

Reduction of Alkynes to cis-Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.

Reduction of Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Metals like palladium, platinum, and nickel are commonly used in their solid forms — fine powder on an inert surface. As these catalysts remain insoluble in the reaction mixture, they are referred to as heterogeneous catalysts.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
