a highly efficient method for the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids using polyvinylpolypyrrolidone supported - boron trifluoride (pvpp-bf3) in the presence of 35% hydrogen peroxide has been developed in acetonitrile at 60 °c. this procedure cleanly oxidizes variety of aldehydes to the corresponding carboxylic acids. oxidative esterification of benzaldehyde utilizing pvpp-bf3/h2o2(35%) ...

Vilsmeier Several diamide derivatives containing 2-chloroquinoline scaffolds were synthesized via Ugi reaction of 2-chloroquinoline-3-carboxaldehydes, amines, carboxylic acids and isocyanides. The diversity of these quinolinyl Ugi-adducts was increased by using 2-chloroquinoline-3-carboxylic acids as a source of acid. Among them, compounds 2d, 2n, 2p, 4a, 4c and<strong...

aqueous polyurethane dispersions (puds) have recently emerged as important alternatives to their solvent-based counterparts for various applications due to increasing health and environmental awareness (green chemistry). anionic polyester-polyurethane dispersions were synthesized by three steps. in the first step, macromonomer diisocyanate having carboxylic acid was prepared by isophorone diiso...

Increasingly, crudes of high acidity are observed in production of petroleum reserves. Naphthenic acids, which are generally cyclic and branched aliphatic carboxylic acids, are interfacially active and adsorb at water–oil interfaces to form monolayers, liquid crystalline films, and other colloidal structures. A serious challenge in petroleum production is the resulting stabilization of water-in...
