Much effort has been devoted to the synthesis of gold nanoparticles with different shapes, including the zero-dimensional nanospheres, one dimensional nanorods, and two-dimensional nanoplates. Compared to zero or one dimensional nanostructures, the synthesis of two-dimensional nanostructures in high yield has always been more involved, often requiring complex and timeconsuming steps such as mor...

the condensation of benzylamine with glyoxal leads to hexabenzylhexaazaisowurtzitane (hbiw) in acetonitrile solvent with citric acid as a green catalyst under both conventional stirring and ultrasonic irradiation conditions. the influence of four variables, including the amount of catalyst, solvent, reaction time and ultrasonic power, on the reaction yield was investigated. the results showed t...

Enzymatic synthesis of sugar fatty acid esters was performed in an organic solvent using an immobilized Candida antartica lipase and various sugars and oleic acid as substrates. A high solubility of the sugar in the solvent was needed for a high sugar ester yield. Among the sugars and solvents tested in this study, the highest yield (98 %) was obtained when xylitol and 2-methyl 2-butanol were u...

Herein we demonstrate selective fluorescence detection of palladium in the presence of platinum by altering the pH of the reaction medium of a Pd(0)/Pt(0)-catalyzed Tsuji-Trost type reaction to yield a fluorescent compound.

The cesium carbonate-mediated reaction of 2-bromoallyl sulfones and ortho-hydroxychalcones furnished 3-arylsulfonyl-4H-chromene derivatives in 58-67% yield (18 examples). 2-Bromoallyl sulfones functioned as synthetic surrogates for allenyl sulfones in the reaction.

Retro-reaction of radical monoadducts of a paramagnetic endohedral metallofullerene, La@C(2v)-C(82), is shown using thermal reaction in the presence of a radical trapping reagent, affording pristine La@C(2v)-C(82) in high yield (96%).

Based on the {S+, I-} pathway, the concentration of surfactant and surface charge density of silanolate groups control the phase transition from lamellar, to hexagonal through cubic form. The high surface charge density of silanolate groups was observed for the lamellar phase. With decrease of molar concentration of surfactant on the gel, the yield of...

In this research we used Heavy Propylene Tetramer (HPT) and A1C13 —BF3 (Lewis acids) ascatalyst and ethanol, n-propanol and n-butanol as co-catalyst. Using Lewis acids as catalyst, theHPTs form molecules with higher molecular weight. Since the raw materials of the reaction are byproducts of other reactions, are not pure and contain various compounds with different M.W andalso different chemical...

Kinetics of lipase-catalyzed esterification of hexanoic acid and ethyl alcohol using the solvent-free system, surface coated lipase from Candida rugosa, had been studied. The effect of various parameters such as reaction time, reaction temperature, reaction kinetics, water removal and feasibility of solvent-free system had been focused. Candida Rugosa lipase was more effective than other li...

This article describes one-pot synthesis of new fluorinated hexahydroquinoline derivatives via unsymmetric Hantzsch reaction involving 5-trifluoromethyl-1,3cyclohexanedione, aldehydes, acetoacetate ester, and ammonium acetate in trifluoroethanol (TFE). The reaction is simple and rapid with high yield.
