Abstract

The kinetics of transalkylation and isomerization of meta‐diethylbenzene in the presence of benzene using triflic acid as a catalyst has been investigated. High catalytic activity of the triflic acid catalyst was observed in homogeneous liquid‐phase reactions. On the basis of the product distribution obtained, transalkylation, disproportionation, and isomerization reactions have been considered and the main product of the reaction was ethylbenzene. These reactions are conducted in a closed liquid batch reactor with continuous stirring under dry nitrogen and atmospheric pressure over the temperature range of 288–308 K. The main transalkylation, disproportionation, and isomerization reactions occurred simultaneously and were considered as elementary reactions. The apparent activation energy of the transalkylation reaction was found to be 35.5 kJ/mol, while that of disproportionation reaction was 42.3 kJ/mol. The reproducibility of the experimental product distribution occurred with an average relative error of ±2%. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 35: 555–563, 2003

Diperiodatoargentate(III) oxidizes nitrilotriacetic acid in a mildly basic medium to produce formaldehyde and ammonia. This reaction follows a complex kinetic behaviour. The axial binding of NTA to silver(III) complex takes place on the millisecond time-scale with a second-order rate constant of (4.

The kinetics of the reaction between nitric acid and formaldehyde have been studied by spectrophotometry. The reaction is autocatalytic. A two-step mechanism is proposed, which accounts for this behavior and describes the effect of reactant concentrations on the characteristics of the kinetic curves
