A heterogeneous catalyst containing manganese Schiff base complex (derived from 2,4-dihydroxybenzadehyde and 1,2-phenylenediamine) is produced by covalent anchoring in MCM-41 matrix. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), inductivity coupled plasma (ICP), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, N2 sorbtion-desorbtion isotherm and by tr...

4-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (dbsa) has been shown to be an efficient, mild, green, stable and chemoselective brønsted acid catalyst for the synthesis of 1, 1-diacetates (acylals) of aldehydes under solvent-free conditions. the mild condition, eco-friendly, excellent yields, short reaction times and using an easily available, inexpensive and reusable catalyst are important features of this met...

effects of water on the catalytic performances of movtenbo catalyst in the oxidation of propane to acrylic acid have been investigated at different reaction temperatures and different steam contents. obtained results show that both catalytic performances and catalyst structure are very sensitive to the presence of water vapor in the reaction feed. presence of water induces some structural modif...

The combination of a boronic acid and a Lewis base, both employed in substoichiometric amounts, enables the regioselective silylation of cis-diol groups in alkylpyranoside substrates. The proposed mode of activation involves the formation of a tetracoordinate adduct that displays enhanced nucleophilicity at the boron-bound alkoxide groups.

Production of lactic acid from glycerol is a cascade catalytic procedure using multifunctional catalysts combined with oxidative and acidic catalytic sites. Therefore, a series of silver-exchanged phosphomolybdic acid catalysts (AgxH3-xPMo12O40, x = 1 ~ 3, abbreviated as AgxPMo) was designed and applied in glycerol oxidation with O2 as an oxidant to produce lactic acid (LA) without adding any b...

ABSTRACT: Six new organosoluble ruthenium(II) complexes bearing dibasic tetradentate Schiff base ligands of the general formula [Ru(CO)(PPh3)(L)] (where L = dibasic t...

Coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks are appealing as synthetic hosts for mediating chemical reactions. Here we report the preparation of a mesoscopic metal-organic structure based on single-layer assembly of aluminium chains and organic alkylaryl spacers. The material markedly accelerates condensation reactions in water in the absence of acid or base catalyst, as well as organoca...

In this paper, a model based control of a fed batch process used for catalyst support synthesis is proposed. The considered model is derived from mass balances and an algebraic equilibrium equation identified using titration experiments. The catalyst quality requires that three variables are controlled during the production process: pH, volume and concentration. A global control structure enabl...

The base-free dimethyl scandium complex supported by the bulky beta-diketiminato ligand ArNC((t)Bu)CHC((t)Bu)NAr (Ar = 2,6-(i)Pr(2)C(6)H(3), 1) reacts with various equivalencies of the strong organometallic Lewis acid B(C(6)F(5))(3) to give scandium alkyl cations. With 0.5 equiv, a monocationic mu-methyl dimer (2) was observed spectroscopically. Reaction with a further 0.5 equiv of borane gives...
