Electrooxidation of N-aminopyrazoles.

Approaches towards the synthesis of 5-aminopyrazoles

The biological and medicinal properties of 5-aminopyrazoles have prompted enormous research aimed at developing synthetic routes to these heterocyles. This review focuses on the biological properties associated with this system. Various synthetic methods developed up to 2010 for these compounds are described, particularly those that involve the reactions of β-ketonitriles, malononitrile, alkyli...

Synthesis of aminopyrazoles from sydnones and ynamides.

Aminopyrazoles are prepared from readily accessible sydnones and sulfonyl ynamides using either a copper-mediated sydnone alkyne cycloaddition (CuSAC) or in situ generated strained cyclic ynamides.

Methanol and CO electrooxidation

The methanol oxidation reaction has been the subject of a large number of studies in the past.[1, 2] Early work revealed a complex reaction mechanism,[3–6] indicating the electrocatalysis of methanol oxidation as the most difficult task in the realization of a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). Several metal catalysts were proposed for the reaction, most of them based on modifications of Pt with...

Electrooxidation as a Pretreatment Process Before Cyanidation

Electrooxidation of methanol on doped polypyrrole films in acidic media

Electrooxidation of methanol was realised on platinum and perchlorate anion doped polypyrrole film electrodes in acidic media. A systematic kinetic investigation was performed and optimum experimental conditions for the preparation of the electrocatalytic system were determined. The presence of ClO4 − anions was confirmed by XPS analysis of the doped polymer matrix. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V....
