What to Do When Your Chemical Reaction Fails?

kilomentor | 02 February, 2007 06:20

Chemical transformations and chemical separations are the building blocks of process synthesis. It is chemical transformations that create the reaction intermediates that connect postulated starting materials to desired final product. What information might we have as pointers to decide how to achieve a conversion:

  • 1. thermodynamic bond energy calculations.
  • 2. model studies using other substrates
  • 3. kinetic data on the reaction type
  • 4. a proposed or established mechanistic pathway
  • 5. results of initial attempts
  • 6. physical characteristics of the substrate, reagent and proposed solvents
  • 7. possible or known stoichiometry
  • 8. reaction database results
