Polypyrrole is one of the most useful conductive polymers, but green synthesis of this polymer has been restricted until now. The objective of the present paper is green synthesis of nano polypyrrole (PPy) by oxidative polymerization using urea-hydrogen peroxide. It was found that conductivity and morphology of polypyrrole are highly dependent on the reaction conditions such as the molar ratio ...

The title compound, C(26)H(25)NO, was obtained via a one-pot synthesis from the reaction of 2-naphthol, 1-(p-tol-yl)ethyl-amine, p-toluene-sulfonic acid and benzaldehyde. There are three mol-ecules per asymmetric unit, all having similar conformations. There are intra-molecular O-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, with only van der Waals forces found between mol-ecules.

The enzymatic degradability of poly(vinyl acetate) was investigated in toluene solutions at various temperatures with hog pancreas lipase. The polymer degraded by specific scission to yield oligomeric products with a molecular weight of 700. Continuous distribution kinetics were used to determine the rate coefficients. The variation of the rate coefficients with the temperature indicated an opt...

A simple synthetic route affording 27%-85% yields of benzo[6,7][1,5]diazocino[2,1-a]isoindol-12(14H)-one ring systems from readily available 3-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl) isobenzofuran-1(3H)-ones and 2-(aminomethyl)aniline starting materials in toluene and catalysed by p-toluene-sulfonic acid is developed. The ¹H- and (13)C-NMR spectra of the final products were assigned using a variety of one and tw...

The title compound, C(10)H(9)NO(3), was synthesized by the condensation reaction of isatin (systematic name 1H-indole-2,3-dione) with glycol in presence of p-toluene-sulfonic acid. The indol-2-one ring system is essentially planar [N-C-C-C torsion angle = 3.1 (2)°], and the 1,3-dioxolane ring is slightly distorted. The crystal structure exhibits inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Single step pretreatment-saccharification of corn stover was investigated in aqueous p-toluenesulfonic and sulfuric acid media. Dilute aqueous solution of p-toluenesulfonic acid was a better catalyst than aqueous sulfuric acid of the same H(+) ion concentration for single step pretreatment-saccharification of corn stover at moderate temperatures and pressures. For example, 100mg corn stover hea...

Multifunctional products have been developed to combine the benefits of functional components and terpinen-4-ol (TP) delivery systems. In this way, p-toluene sulfonic acid modified titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles and TP, an antioxidant, have been incorporated in liquid-crystalline formulations for photoprotection and controlled release of the TP, respectively. By X-ray powder diffraction ...
