	abstract = {<p>Carbonylation of olefins, alcohols and halides using homogeneous as well as heterogeneous catalysts has been discussed. Highlights of contributions on the activity, selectivity and stability of catalysts for carbonylation reactions are discussed. Kinetics and mechanism including characterization of the intermediate catalytic species has also been reviewed. The performance of anchored Pd complexes on mesoporous supports (MCM-41 and MCM-48), water soluble Pd complexes and supported Pd catalysts in carbonylation of aryl alcohols and olefins has been discussed in the context of catalyst-product separation. Some aspects of kinetic modelling and reaction engineering of these multiphase catalytic reactions have also been reviewed.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Reductive alkylation of ortho-, meta- and para-phenylenediamines (PDAs) with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) has been studied in a semi-batch slurry reactor in the presence of a commercial 3\% Pt/Al(2)O(3) catalyst. It was observed that the PDA isomers differ remarkably from each other in their activity in reductive alkylation and product distribution. The activity was found to decrease in the following order: PPDA \&gt; OPDA \&gt; MPDA. To understand the substrate structure-activity correlation, the homogeneous equilibrium reactions involved in the alkylation step and the overall catalytic reactions were studied separately. Kinetics of reductive alkylation of PDAs with MEK as a solvent and alkylating agent with 3\% Pt/Al(2)O(3) catalyst was studied in a semi-batch slurry reactor over a temperature range of 373-453K and pressure range of 2.07-6.21 MPa. Semi-batch slurry reactor models were developed and kinetic parameters were estimated by fitting the integral batch reactor data at different temperatures to understand the influence of different reaction steps on the activity and selectivity of different products.
