Kinetics of the catalytic hydrogenation of 1-methoxy-2-(4-nitrophenyl)-ethane

Hydrogenation of MNPE using 4% Pd/C has been studied usind a batch slurry reactor. In the range of the operation conditions, MNPE is converted to MAPE via two reactive nitroso and hydroxy compound inetrmediate according to the Haber reaction scheme. A kinetic model was developed to predict the concentration-time profile. The predicted and observed results were found to agree very well.
