The conversion of end-of-life plastics to useful chemicals can contribute a resource-conserving and environmental-benign society. In this regard, we studied the depolymerization via methanolysis poly(1,2-propylene carbonate) using straightforward metal salts as precatalysts. more detail, in presence catalytic amounts Zn(OAc)2 or NaOAc methanol 1,2-propylene carbonate (generated by ring closing ...

The modern catalytic or enzymatic advances allow the production of novel biofuel. Among them, 1,3-dioxolane can be produced from formaldehyde and ethylene glycol, both obtained biomass. In this study, oxidation is studied at stoichiometric conditions. ignition delay times 1,3-dioxolane/O2/inert mixtures were measured in a shock tube rapid compression machine pressures 20 to 40 bar temperatures ...

In the title compound, C(12)H(12)N(2)O(3), the five-membered ring attached to the aromatic ring adopts an envelope conformation with a C atom in the flap position. The spiro-linked five-membered ring adopts a twisted conformation. In the crystal, C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into C(5) chains propagating in [001].

The [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between carbonyl ylides generated from epoxides and ketones (ethyl pyruvate, ethyl phenylglyoxylate, isatin, N-methylisatin and 5-chloroisatin) to give substituted dioxolanes and spirocyclic dioxolane indolinones was investigated. The effect of microwave irradiation on the outcome of the reaction was studied. The thermal reaction between 2,2-dicyano-3-phenylox...

Brassinosteroids are important phytohormones that affect many aspects of plant growth and development. In order to manipulate brassinosteroid levels in plant tissues by using specific biosynthesis inhibitors, we have carried out a systemic search for specific inhibitors of brassinosteroid biosynthesis. Synthesis of triazole derivatives based on the ketoconazole scaffold revealed a series of nov...

Tungstophosphoric acid (H3PW12O40) supported on silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles has been prepared and used as a heterogeneous catalyst (Fe3O4@SiO2@HPW) in the condensation of benzaldehyde (B) with glycerol (Gly) for production cyclic acetals. Physicochemical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), X-ray ...

This work reports the mid-IR spectroscopy and reaction kinetics of 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane (2M13DO). We carried out spectroscopic measurements to deduce temperature-dependent absorption cross-sections 2M13DO over a broad wavelength range 8.4–10.5 ?m (950–1190 cm?1). For these measurements, we employed rapidly tuning MIRcat-QT™ laser that can be operated either at fixed or scanned mode wide regio...

Low-temperature ozonation (-78 degrees C) of 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane (1a) in acetone-d6, methyl acetate, and tert-butyl methyl ether produced both the corresponding acetal hydrotrioxide (3a, ROOOH) and the hemiortho ester (2a, ROH) in molar ratio 1:5. Both intermediates were fully characterized by 1H, 13C, and 17O NMR spectroscopy, and they both decomposed to the corresponding hydroxy ester at h...

The title compound, C7H8N2O2, formed by dehydration of the corresponding dicarboxamide, crystallizes as rectangular prisms. The mol-ecules have a C 2 axis of symmetry through the C atom bearing the methyl groups and the mid-point of the ring C-C bond, and the 1,3-dioxolane ring adopts the extreme twist conformation of the two possible with this symmetry. This brings the two nitrile groups neare...

Carcinoma cell mitochondria preferentially accumulate and retain certain cationic dyes to a much greater extent than most normal cells. Thus, they can potentially serve as targets for highly selective photochemotherapy. We evaluated 10 rhodamine and cyanine dyes as carcinoma-specific mitochondrial photosensitizers in vitro. The most effective, N,N'-bis(2-ethyl-1,3-dioxolane)kryptocyanine (EDKC)...
