    • The carbonylation of allylic halides 

      Payne, Marc J. (University of St Andrews, 1997) - Thesis
      [RhCl(CO)(Pet₃)₂] or a compound prepared in situ from [Rh₂(OAc)₄] and Pet₃ have been shown to be active catalysts for the carbonylation of allylic halides under relatively mild conditions. This reaction is of considerable ...

    • Novel group 9 catalysts for the carbonylation of methanol 

      Marr, Andrew Craig (University of St Andrews, 1998) - Thesis
      The carbonylation of methanol catalysed by Group 9 metals is the principle industrial route to acetic acid. It has been one of the most important applications of homogeneous catalysts for thirty years. In that time the ...

    • The solubility of gases in aqueous alcohols 

      Cargill, Robert Wilson (University of St Andrews, 1974) - Thesis
      Extensive measurements have been made of the solubilities of the five gases helium, hydrogen, argon, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, in ethanol/water and in t-butanol/water mixtures over the whole of their concentration range, ...

    • Synthesis of long-chain fatty acids and some derivatives 

      Vedanayagam, Hannah Sumathi (University of St Andrews, 1975) - Thesis
      An attempt has been made to compare anodic synthesis, malonation, and chain-extension with enamines as procedures for converting readily-available acids to higher homologues. Anodic synthesis was successfully employed to ...

    • Synthetic, degradative, analytical and configurational studies of long chain epoxy and hydroxy acids 

      Morris, Lindsay Johnston (University of St Andrews, 1958) - Thesis
      Part I. Synthetic studies. cis-Hydroxylation of Long-chain Olefins. The Woodward cis-hydroxylation procedure, involving the use of iodine and silver acetate in wet acetic acid, has been adapted and applied to the ...
