The oxidation of n-pentanol by tetramethylammonium fluorochromate in acidic solution wasstudied using spectrophotometric technique. The reaction was arranged to be under pseudo firstorderconditions respect to the oxidant. A Michaelis-Menten type kinetic was observed respect tothe substrate. The reaction is catalyzed by hydrogen ions. Dependences of the reaction rates ontemperature and different...

An efficient method for palladium-catalyzed homocoupling reaction of terminal alkynes in the synthesis of symmetric diynes is presented. The results showed that both Pd(OAc)(2) and CuI played crucial roles in the reaction. In the presence of 2 mol % Pd(OAc)(2), 2 mol % CuI, 3 equiv of Dabco, and air, homocoupling of various terminal alkynes afforded the corresponding symmetrical diynes in moder...

modification of natural polymers like protein by graft co-polymerization is an important method to incorporate the desired properties into the backbone. soy protein concentrate (spc) was grafted with ethylmethacrylate (ema) using ascorbic acid /potassium persulphate as redox initiator system under pressure. different reaction parameters such as reaction time, reaction pressure, solvent amount, ...

1,8-Dioxo-decahydroacridines have been synthesized by the three-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, aromatic amines (or ammonium acetate), and dimedone in the presence of sulfonic acid functionalized nanoporous silica (SBA-Pr-SO3H) under solvent-free conditions. Excellent yields, short reaction times, mild reaction conditions, an...

Two-component reaction of 2-aminobenzophenones with acetylenic esters in the presence of γ-Al2O3 and Cu/ZnO as suitable heterogeneous catalysts has been studied. Nano γ-Al2O3 and Cu/ZnO showed high activities when used as surface catalysts for the synthesis of quinoline derivatives. After completion of the reaction, the catalyst was ...

An improved, simple, and facile synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones by employing three-component, one-pot condensation reaction of β-keto ester, aromatic aldehydes, and urea or N-methylurea using LaCl3/ClCH2COOH as an inexpensive and green chemistry catalyst system under solvent-free conditions described. Compared with the classicalBiginelli reaction conditions, this method has the adv...

Gold exhibits catalytic activity when it is in the form of fine particles having a size of less than 10 nm and is tightly supported on specific metal oxides such as TiO2, etc [1]. To reveal its mechanism, dynamic observation of the sample structures during the reaction by the transmission electron microscope (TEM) is quite essential. “Environmental-cell (E-cell) TEM” technique [2], which enable...
