in ziegler-natta olefin polymerization, the pore architecture of catalysts plays a crucial role in catalyticperformances and polymer properties. while the type of preparation routes (such as chemical reaction andsolution precipitation) greatly affects the catalyst pore architecture as a result of different solidification mechanisms,the modification of the pore architecture within a given route ...

The synthesis of a broad range enantioenriched amines by the direct Fe-catalysed coupling with alcohols through borrowing hydrogen strategy, while at least one these substrates is achiral reported. When starting from α-chiral and alcohols, wide amine products, including N-heterocyclic moieties can be obtained complete retention stereochemistry power this method demonstrated in one-step known ph...

A porous phenolsulphonic acid-formaldehyde resin (PAFR) was developed. The heterogeneous catalyst PAFR was applied to the esterification of carboxylic acids and alcohols, affording the carboxylic acid esters in a yield of up to 95% where water was not removed from the reaction mixture. Surprisingly, the esterification in water as a solvent proceeded to afford the desired esters in high yield. P...

Aluminum-containing mesoporous silica with hierarchical macroporous architecture (Al-MMS) was successfully prepared using a solvent evaporation method through the combination of precursor solution for synthesis of Al-containing mesoporous silica (Al-MS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) colloidal crystals as a hard template. The porous structure and the state of aluminum were investigated us...

BACKGROUND Fermentative aromas play a key role in the organoleptic profile of young wines. Their production depends both on yeast strain and fermentation conditions. A present-day trend in the wine industry consists in developing new strains with aromatic properties using adaptive evolution approaches. An evolved strain, Affinity™ ECA5, overproducing esters, was recently obtained. In this study...

Due to the increasing concerns about limited fossil resources and environmental problems, there has been much interest in developing biofuels from renewable biomass. Ethanol is currently used as a major biofuel, as it can be easily produced by existing fermentation technology, but it is not the best biofuel due to its low energy density, high vapor pressure, hygroscopy, and incompatibility with...

Logic programs can be synthesized as a by-product of the planning of their verification proofs. This is achieved by using higher-order variables at the proof planning level, which become instantiated in the course of planning. We illustrate two uses of such variables in proof planning for program synthesis, one for synthesis proper and one for the selection of induction schemes. We demonstrate ...

A novel and efficient Pd-catalyzed intermolecular [3 + 2] carbocyclization of alkynols and electron-deficient alkynes for the synthesis of halo-cyclopentadienes (Cps) has been developed. The present protocol employs simple propargyl alcohols as the C3 group to participate in the cyclization reaction, providing a highly convenient and atom-economical entry to the halo-cyclopentadiene framework.

A hydroxyl group-directed, highly regio- and stereoselective transposition of allylic alcohols based on rhenium catalysis has been developed. The method is suitable for a direct isomerization of acetals into the thermodynamically preferred isomer as long as one of the hydroxyl groups is allylic. This method will expand the scope of rhenium-catalyzed alcohol transpositions for complex molecule s...
