Nitrogen ligands effects in the palladium-catalyzed carbonylation reaction of nitrobenzene to give N-methyl phenylcarbamate

The carbonylation reaction of nitrobenzene to methyl phenylcarbamate: highly efficient promoters for the palladium-phenanthroline catalytic system based on phosphorus acids.

Theoretical Study of Zeolite-Catalyzed Dimethoxymethane Carbonylation to Methyl Methoxyacetate

The gas-phase carbonylation of dimethoxymethane (DMM) to form methyl methoxyacetate (MMAc) can be catalyzed by acid zeolites. This reaction is a critical step in the synthesis of monoethylene glycol (MEG), a widely used chemical, from synthesis gas. The mechanism of DMM carbonylation occurring on H-MFI and H-FAU zeolites has been investigated using density functional theory. We find that the re...

Biaryl phosphane ligands in palladium-catalyzed amination.

Palladium-catalyzed amination reactions of aryl halides have undergone rapid development in the last 12 years, largely driven by the implementation of new classes of ligands. Biaryl phosphanes have proven to provide especially active catalysts in this context. This Review discusses the application of these catalysts in C-N cross-coupling reactions in the synthesis of heterocycles and pharmaceut...

Palladium-Catalyzed, Enantioselective Heine Reaction

Aziridines are important synthetic intermediates for the generation of nitrogen-containing molecules. N-Acylaziridines undergo rearrangement by ring expansion to produce oxazolines, a process known as the Heine reaction. The first catalytic, enantioselective Heine reaction is reported for meso-N-acylaziridines where a palladium(II)-diphosphine complex is employed. The highly enantioenriched oxa...

the effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...
