Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract The kinetics of the liquid phase hydrogenation of 4‐tert‐butylphenol to form cis‐ and trans‐ 4‐tert‐butylcyclohexanol at 1.0–10.0 MPa and 40°C in isopropanol over a Rh catalyst has been studied. The kinetic behavior of this parallel system is described by a proposed reaction network. Keto‐enol tautomeric transformation of adsorbed 4‐tert‐butyltetrahydrophenol and 4‐tert‐butylcyclohexanone is thought to be a key step, which governs the stereoselectivity of the overall complex reaction of alkylphenol hydrogenation.
