Abstract:
Reducing the cost of RuO2/TiO2 catalysts is still one of the urgent challenges in catalytic HCl oxidation. In the present work, a Ce-doped TiO2 supported RuO2 catalyst with a low Ru loading was developed, showing a high activity in the catalytic oxidation of HCl to Cl2. The results on some extensive characterizations of both Ce-doped TiO2 carriers and their supported RuO2 catalysts show that the doping of Ce into TiO2 can effectively change the lattice parameters of TiO2 to improve the dispersion of the active RuO2 species on the carrier, which facilitates the production of surface Ru species to expose more active sites for boosting the catalytic performance even under some harsh reaction conditions. This work provides some scientific basis and technical support for chlorine recycling.

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...

Acid Halides to Alcohols: LiAlH4 Reduction
The mechanism proceeds in three steps. First, the nucleophilic hydride ion attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acid halide to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Next, the carbonyl group is re-formed, and the halide ion departs as a leaving group, generating an aldehyde. A second nucleophilic attack by the hydride yields an alkoxide ion, which, upon protonation, gives a primary alcohol as...
