4-Nitrobenzylidenedimethylsulfurane 4-Nitrobenzylidenedimethylsulfurane, a semi-stabilized sulfonium ylide has been generated by the attack of methylsulfinyl carbanion in dimethyl sulfoxide and reacted with a series of substituted benzaldehydes, furfural and benzylideneacetophenone to afford <mns-l,2-disubstituted epoxides in fair to good yields. The structural assignments of the products are b...

Two Pseudomonas strains known to utilize furan derivatives were shown to respond chemotactically to furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, furfuryl alcohol, and 2-furoic acid. In addition, a LysR-family regulatory protein known to regulate furan metabolic genes was found to be involved in regulating the chemotactic response.

The aim of this study was to degrade furfural by a new nanotube system. To degrade some organic pollutants as well as to reduce the amount of furfural which is a well-known pollutant in oil industry, the photocatalytic process along with ultraviolet (UV) irradiation may be employed. In this study, the UV/TiO2/Pd system in which the nanoparticles of palladium doped into the titanium dioxide was ...

Furfural is one of the most promising chemical platforms with bright perspective with respect to the production of biobased chemicals and fuels from lignocellulosic material. Globally, the majority of this biomass derived chemical is converted into furfuryl alcohol, a building block in polymers industry. The vapor-phase hydrogenation of furfural over copper species dispersed on two types of sil...

there are adequate sources for wood adhesives, but scarcity of oil resources can affect the cost and future availability of oil based resins. for avoiding of this process, seeking for feasibility of replacement of these oil feedstocks is necessary. in present work, thermal behavior of urea formaldehyde resin modified by furfural was investigated. the thermo-gravimetry was used for this purpose,...

In this study the effects of autoclave, microwave and ultrasonic pretreatments with or withoutacid addition were investigated on the amount of glucose, soluble and insoluble lignin, furfural, yeast viabilityand bioethanol. The findings showed that autoclave-acid impregnated sample, has the highest glucose releasefrom lignocellulose materials (14.61 and 14.95 g/l for solvent exposed and untreate...

The gas-phase hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of furfural, a model compound for bio-based conversion, was investigated over transition metal phosphide catalysts. HDO activity decreases in the order Ni2P ? MoP > Co2P WP ? Cu3P Fe2P. Nickel phases (e.g., Ni2P, Ni12P5, Ni3P) are most promising catalysts furfural HDO. Their selectivity to gasoline additives 2-methylfuran and tetrahydro-2-methylfuran can b...

Electrocatalytic hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol (FAL) and 2-methylfuran (MF) using a zinc catalyst represents greener pathway produce value added chemicals as compared the chemo-catalytic hydrogenation.

The valorisation of biomass-derived platform chemicals via catalytic hydrogenation is an eco-friendly tool which allows us to recover bio-based building blocks and produce fine with high industrial appeal. In the present study, a novel surfactant-type triazolyl-thioether ligand was prepared, showing excellent activity in presence bis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)diiridium(I) dichloride [Ir(COD)Cl]2 for f...
