The aerobic oxidation of alcohols was efficiently completed in high conversion and selectivity using Cu3/2[PMo12O40]/SiO2 as catalyst under mild reaction condition. This reaction provides a new environmentally friendly rout to the conversion of alcoholic function to carbonyl groups.

Highly dispersed iron oxide supported catalysts, prepared using HNO3-treated CMK-3 mesoporous carbons as supports, exhibit relatively high catalytic activity in selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol with oxygen.

Pt and Pd nanotubes could be prepared rapidly with high yields and good uniformity through the reduction of metal precursors in the presence of ZnO nanowires as inexpensive sacrificial templates. The prepared nanotubes showed efficient electrocatalytic properties toward alcohol oxidation.

Methods for conversion of the lignin β-O-4 models into amide derivatives and phenols have been developed, which is achieved via chemo-selective oxidation of the secondary benzylic alcohol and subsequent Cu-catalyzed aerobic amide bond formation.

OBJECTIVE We sought to investigate whether a polymorphism in the alcohol dehydrogenase 1c (ADH1C) gene modifies the association between alcohol consumption and type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In nested case-control studies of 640 women with incident diabetes and 1,000 control subjects from the Nurses' Health Study and 383 men with incident diabetes and 382 control subjects from t...

Long-term heavy alcohol consumption is considered to be one of the main causes of left ventricular dysfunction in alcoholic cardiomyopathy (ACM). As previously suggested, high-dose alcohol induces oxidation stress and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes. However, the underlying mechanisms are yet to be elucidated. In this study, we found that high-dose alcohol treatment stimulated expression and activi...

A method for the continuous preparation of alcohols by hydroboration/oxidation of olefins using flow techniques is described. The process allows the isolation of up to 120 mmol h−1 of the desired alcohol in a very rapid manner with good functional group tolerance. The flow setup can be modified to perform a continuous extraction of the desired alcohol from the biphasic mixture produced by the r...

This review selectively summarizes the latest developments in the Pd-based cataysts for low temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells, especially in the application of formic acid oxidation, alcohol oxidation and oxygen reduction reaction. The advantages and shortcomings of the Pd-based catalysts for electrocatalysis are analyzed. The influence of the structure and morphology of the Pd ma...

A method for the continuous preparation of alcohols by hydroboration/oxidation of olefins using flow techniques is described. The process allows the isolation of up to 120 mmol h(-1) of the desired alcohol in a very rapid manner with good functional group tolerance. The flow setup can be modified to perform a continuous extraction of the desired alcohol from the biphasic mixture produced by the...

Iridium catalyzed primary alcohol oxidation triggers reductive C-O bond cleavage of isoprene oxide to form aldehyde-allyliridium pairs that combine to form products of tert-(hydroxy)-prenylation, a motif found in >2000 terpenoid natural products. Curtin-Hammett effects are exploited to enforce high levels of anti-diastereo- and enantioselectivity in the formation of an all-carbon quaternary cen...
