In this article, the catalytic activity of bis[2-(p-tolyliminomethyl)phenolato] copper(II) complex was studied, for the first time, in the oxidation of various primary and secondary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones. The effect of different solvent was studied in the oxidation of benzyl alcohol and methanol was chosen as the reaction medium. Also the effect of different oxidant...

The secondary hydroxyl ion (alkoxide) ion for cyclodextrin (CD) may affect the decomposition of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) in alkaline solutions. The equilibrium and kinetic parameters involved in the reaction processes were measured. It was found that the interaction between the alkoxide ion for CD and the included AITC occurred more than pKa 12.7. From the identified kinetic parameters and d...

copper matrix composite reinforced by 1wt.% tib2 particles was prepared using in situ reaction of cu-1.4wt.% ti and cu-0.7wt.% b by rapid solidification and subsequent heat treatment for 1-20 hrs at 900ºc. high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (hrtem) characterization showed that primary tib2 particles were formed in liquid copper. heat treatment of as-solidified samples led to the f...

however, the conventional gold recovery process is cyanidation, due to the recent environmental laws; researchers are looking for alternative methods for the recovery of gold. furthermore, the copper anode slime is one of the most important secondary sources of gold (about 1200 ppm). so, the main objective of the current work is gold separation from copper anode slime as a rich secondary source...

A catalytic Mitsunobu reaction system is described in which the azo reagent is used as an organocatalyst and iodosobenzene diacetate is used as the stoichiometric oxidant. In this system, iodosobenzene diacetate oxidizes the formed hydrazine byproduct to regenerate the azo reagent. Yields obtained in the catalytic reactions using a variety of carboxylic acids and alcohols were slightly lower th...
