Synthesis of propylene carbonate from urea and propylene glycol over zinc oxide: A homogeneous reaction

Abstract: In this work, several metal oxides and zinc salts were used to catalyze propylene carbonate (PC) synthesis from urea and propylene glycol (PG). According to the results of catalytic test and characterization, the catalytic pattern of ZnO was different from that of other metal oxides such as CaO, MgO and La2O3, but similar to that of zinc salts. In fact, the leaching of Zn species took...

A new route for the synthesis of propylene oxide from bio-glycerol derivated propylene glycol.

The synthesis of propylene oxide from propylene glycol, a derivative of bio-glycerol, was firstly realized in the presence of alkali-loaded silica catalysts to achieve 44% conversion and 70% selectivity.

Propylene oxide as sterilizing agent.

Liquid propylene oxide added to a variety of disinfectant solutions resulted in a significant reduction of the bacterial spore content of these solutions.

Propylene Glycol Poisoning From Excess Whiskey Ingestion

One-step catalytic asymmetric synthesis of all-syn deoxypropionate motif from propylene: Total synthesis of (2R,4R,6R,8R)-2,4,6,8-tetramethyldecanoic acid.

In nature, many complex structures are assembled from simple molecules by a series of tailored enzyme-catalyzed reactions. One representative example is the deoxypropionate motif, an alternately methylated alkyl chain containing multiple stereogenic centers, which is biosynthesized by a series of enzymatic reactions from simple building blocks. In organic synthesis, however, the majority of the...
