A Reaction Calorimetric Investigation of the Hydrogenation of a Substituted Pyrazine
Reaction calorimetry was the primary tool in investigations of the liquid-phase hydrogenation of a substituted pyrazine compound carried out over supported Pd catalysts.In addition to providing information about gas-liquid mass transfer limitations, calorimetric measurements provided a kinetic analysis of how product selectivity in this consecutive reaction network may be tuned by changing reaction conditions.Concentration profiles developed from fitting the heat flow data to a first-order model were compared with analytical measurements of concentration, demonstrating the utility of combining independent measurements of reaction progress as a means of assessing the validity of a kinetic model.

Process for the preparation of optically active piperazine-2-carboxylic acid derivatives
Optically active piperazine-2-carboxylic acid derivatives of the general formula: STR1 in which X is alkoxy or a (substituted) amino group, are prepared by asymmetric hydrogenation of the corresponding pyrazinecarboxylic acid derivatives, catalyzed by optically active rhodium complexes. The compounds of the formula I are intermediates for the preparation of pharmaceutical active substances, for example, HIV protease inhibitors.
