Figure 4-14. Effect <strong>of</strong> hydrogen pressure.<br />

Experiment 1: 5 mg (13 μmol Pt) D- type <strong>of</strong> catalyst, [EP 0 ] =2.571 mol l -1 , no free<br />

cinchonidine, P H2 = 2 bar. Full squares (left axis) – ethyl pyruvate conversion, crossed<br />

squares (right axis) – actual EE, line – linear approximation <strong>of</strong> actual ee decrease.<br />

Experiment 2: 4 mg (13 μmol Pt) D- type <strong>of</strong> catalyst, [EP 0 ] = 2.571 mol l -1 , no free<br />

cinchonidine, P H2 = 10 bar. Full triangles (left axis) – ethyl pyruvate conversion,<br />
