In the present study, the effects of calcium doping on the performance of the co-precipitated Cu-MgO catalysts prepared with different calcium loadings in the selective hydrogenation of furfuraldehyde were investigated. The results proved that the addition of this promoter had a remarkable impact on the catalytic performance. The conversion of furfuraldehyde enhanced up to 83% and the furfuryl ...

The title compound, C(12)H(9)NO(2), was prepared by an Aldol reaction of furfuraldehyde with 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizin-1-one. The mol-ecule is almost planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.045 Å, excluding the methyl-ene H atoms. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked via weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding and aromatic π-π stacking [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6151 (9) Å].

Onions contain high antioxidants compounds that fight inflammation against many diseases. The purpose was to investigate some selected bioactive activities of onion varieties (Yellow, Red, Green, Leek, and Baby). Antioxidant assays anti-inflammatory such as NO production with the addition components were determined analyzed by using a spectrophotometer. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC–...

Measuring the concentration of furfuraldehyde (FFA) within oil samples taken periodically from power transformers is usually carried out as a means of condition monitoring. Normally, laboratory-based techniques such as high performance liquid chromatography are applied for this measurement. We report the construction of a novel optoelectronic sensor for the determination of FFA in transformer o...

Certain 2-(1'-iminothioimido substituted)-1'-substituted phenybenzoic acids (P(1-9)) were synthesized by reaction of phthalic anhydride with benzotriazole, 2-mercapto benzothiazole and 2-p-amino phenyl benzimidazole, respectively (A(1-3)) followed by imine formation with Schiff bases of thiourea with salicylaldehyde, furfuraldehyde and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone. Antiulcer activity was eval...

Oxazoline is one of the 5 membered heterocycle ring can be synthesized in many ways and various activities like analgesic, antimicrobial and antidiabetic activity are well documented. In the present study analgesic activity screened by tail flick and tail immersion model.The synthesized compounds are ideally characterized spectrophotometrically. Chlorinated and methoxylated oxazolines found to ...

The one-pot acid-catalysed conversion of mono/di/polysaccharides (inulin, xylan, cellobiose, sucrose, glucose, fructose, xylose) into 2-furfuraldehyde (FUR) or 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in the presence of aluminium-containing mesoporous TUD-1 (denoted as Al-TUD-1, Si/Al = 21), at 170 degrees C was investigated. Xylose gave 60% FUR yield after 6 h reaction; hexose-based mono/disaccharides ga...
