Abstract: Olefins such as propylene can be oxidized to their epoxides by contacting gaseous olefin with oxygen in the presence of an unsupported silver catalyst. This catalyst is promoted with 30 to 1300 ppm (weight) magnesium relative to the silver.
Abstract: Selectively produce methane under Fischer-Tropsch conditions using a catalyst consisting essentially of ruthenium supported on an oxide of tantalum, niobium, vanadium or mixtures thereof, the support preparation including calcination at a temperature such that essentially no crystalline metal oxide is detectable by X-ray diffraction prior to deposition of the catalytic metal.
Abstract: Cyclic peptides, such as 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-5,12-dione, that are useful chelation agents for metals are prepared by contacting an acrylic acid ester and a 1,2-alkylenediamine.
Abstract: Allyl derivatives of phenols, thiophenols and arylamines are prepared by contacting such aromatic reactant with an allyl lower alkyl carbonate in the presence of a molybdenum, tungsten or Group VIII metal.
