Regioselective Hydrogenation of Unsaturated Alcohol Using Platinum–Alumina Modified with Carboxylic Acid

Copper-catalyzed regioselective synthesis of furan via tandem cycloaddition of ketone with an unsaturated carboxylic acid under air.

A catalytic decarboxylative annulation has been developed for the regioselective synthesis of trisubstituted furans by the cycloaddition of ketones with α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids under ambient air. A library of furan derivatives were obtained in good yields from the readily available substrates in the combination of a catalytic amount of Cu-salt and a stoichiometric amount of water. Wate...

Neutral iridium catalysts with chiral phosphine-carboxy ligands for asymmetric hydrogenation of unsaturated carboxylic acids.

We developed neutral iridium catalysts with chiral spiro phosphine-carboxy ligands (SpiroCAP) for asymmetric hydrogenation of unsaturated carboxylic acids. Different from the cationic Crabtree-type catalysts, the iridium catalysts with chiral spiro phosphine-carboxy ligands are neutral and do not require the use of a tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate (BArF-) counterion, which is ne...

Rapid and Regioselective Hydrogenation of a,b-Unsaturated Ketones and Alkylidene Malonic Diesters Using Hantzsch Ester Catalyzed by Titanium Tetrachloride

detection of volatile compounds of medicinal plants with some nano-sorbents using modified or new methodologies and investigation of antioxidant activity of their methanolic extracts

in this work, a novel and fast method for direct analysis of volatile compounds (davc) of medicinal plants has been developed by holding a filament from different parts of a plant in the gc injection port. the extraction and analysis of volatile components of a small amount of plant were carried out in one-step without any sample preparation. after optimization of temperature, extraction time a...

surface roughness of linear chain carboxylic acid anhydride modified wood

this study was carried out to investigate the effect of esterification on the surface roughness of eastern cottonwood. eastern cottonwood was modified without using any catalyst and solvent at different temperatures and times with two linear chain carboxylic acid anhydrides (acetic anhydride or propionic anhydride). different weight percentage gains (wpgs) were obtained at different conditions....
