The hydroformylation of alkenes is a major commercial process used for the production of oxygenated organic compounds. Commercial hydroformylation processes may produce significant quantities of waste material. When the hydroformylation reaction is performed using a homogeneous catalyst, an organic or aqueous solvent is employed and a significant effort must be expended to recover the catalyst ...

Application of SiO2@FeSO4 nanocomposite as a new nanocatalyst in reduction area was investigated. Carboxylic acid simple and convenient reduction to alcohol by 0.75 mol of the nanocomposite, 3 mol sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as reduction reagent under a solvent-free condition at 30-65 min. The reaction happens in two stages - first to form an aldehyde and the...

In this work, the characterization of several reversed-phase and HILIC chromatographic systems is presented by means Abraham's solvation parameter model, focusing on impact solute polarizability, dipolarity, hydrogen bonding, molecular volume retention. Although retention times in octadecylsilane columns are clearly dependent nature content organic modifier mobile phase, similar selectivities r...

A novel analysis and representation of the protein surface in terms of electrostatic binding complementarity and selectivity is presented. The charge optimization methodology is applied in a probe-based approach that simulates the binding process to the target protein. The molecular surface is color coded according to calculated optimal charge or according to charge selectivity, i.e., the bindi...

Chirality-induced spin selectivity is a recently-discovered effect, which results in spin selectivity for electrons transmitted through chiral peptide monolayers. Here, we use this spin selectivity to probe the organization of self-assembled α-helix peptide monolayers and examine the relation between structural and spin transfer phenomena. We show that the α-helix structure of oligopeptides bas...

A degradation study of polystyreneepolybutadieneepolystyrene and polyisopreneepolystyrenee polyisoprene in both dichloromethane and hexane solvents is presented. Alternative solvents for metathetic degradation provide the potential for greener chemistry, better selectivity, and control over the products. The catalyst concentration and solvent selection both determine the products formed. The de...

in the present study, the synthesis of diethylene triamine supported on cellulose biopolymer as a biodegradable solid basic heterogeneous catalyst was suggested. then, the applicability of the synthesized catalyst cellulose bonded n-propyl diethylene triamine (cbpdeta) was tested for the synthesis of oxindole derivatives, an important class of potentially bioactive compounds. a various series o...

cr2o3 nanoparticles were prepared using cr(no3)3.9h2o as starting material, triethanolamine (tea) as template and water as green solvent under microwave irradiation. the products were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), transmission electron microscopy (tem), fourier transform infrared (ft-ir), photoluminescence (pl) and raman spectroscopy. the size distribution of individual particles we...
