This study compared oxidative delignification of birch kraft pulp fibers to from acid hydrotropic fractionation (AHF) using p-toluenesulfonic (p-TsOH). Under oxygen at 20% consistency, AHF pulps with lower hemicellulose content showed higher than similar lignin despite its residual (cellulosic enzymatic lignin, CEL) being less reactive fewer ?-O-4 ether aryl linkages based on 2D13C-1H nuclear m...

An anthracene-based tripodal ligand was synthesized from the condensation of tren with 9-anthraldehyde, and the subsequent reduction with sodium borohydride. The neutral ligand was protonated from the reaction with p-toluenesulfonic acid to give a triply charged chemosensor that was examined for its anion binding ability toward fluoride, chloride, bromide, sulfate and nitrate by the fluorescenc...

The synthesis 2-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol is of great significance because its wide application in industry, and the development a highly efficient catalyst necessary for alkylation p-cresol tert-butyl alcohol. Here, an mild method was established. Caprolactam chosen as hydrogen-bonding acceptor; p-toluenesulfonic acid employed donor, deep eutectic solvent (DES) prepared to catalyze reaction. s...

TsaR is the putative LysR-type regulator of the tsa operon (tsaMBCD) which encodes the first steps in the degradation of p-toluenesulfonate (TSA) in Comamonas testosteroni T-2. Transposon mutagenesis was used to knock out tsaR. The resulting mutant lacked the ability to grow with TSA and p-toluenecarboxylate (TCA). Reintroduction of tsaR in trans on an expression vector reconstituted growth wit...

The specific deamidation of 2-acetamido-1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranose is achieved by p-toluenesulfonic acid-promoted hydrolysis of 2-methyl-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-1,2-dideoxy-alpha-D-glucopyrano)-[2,1 -d]-2- oxazoline 2 to give quantitative formation of the 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-amino-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranose p-toluenesulfonate (5d). This two-step procedure provides an amino...

Jatropha curcas oil is one of interesting renewable resources for preparation biolubricants. However, direct application this as a biolubricant restricted due to its low oxidative stability. This drawback can be overcome by molecule structural redesign through chemical modification process at unsaturated functional groups. was modified via epoxidation, ring opening and esterification processes....
