Kinetic model for cyclohexene hydromethoxycarbonylation catalyzed by RuCl3

Resumo

A kinetic model for hydromethoxycarbonylation of cyclohexene in methanol in the presence of RuCl₃ at 463 K was developed. The model shows a combined influence of different reactants on the reaction rate; it takes into account side reactions of cyclohexene and it satisfactorily describes the experimental data obtained at conversions of cyclohexene up to 75%.
