Popis: | Deuterium gas exchanges slowly with liquid methanol over Raney nickel catalyst at 35 deg . The reaction is zero order with respect to deuterium pressure and has a low activation energy. The influences of catalyst weight, catalyst treatment, and of the presence of certain nitro compounds were studied. Since active Raney nickel can liberate hydrogen directly, a method for determining the origin of hydrogen which undergoes exchange with the deuterium gas was developed. It was shown that the exchanged hydrogen does originate from the hydroxyl hydrogen of methanol. The results are discussed in the light of the mechanism of catalytic exchange and catalytic hydrogenation reactions. (auth) |
