The vanadium-catalyzed oxidative coupling of substituted 2-arylimidiazo[1,2-a]pyridines to N-methylmorpholine oxide, which acts as both a coupling partner and an oxidant, has been achieved. This reaction was applied to various substituted imidiazo[1,2-a]pyridine and indole substrates, resulting in yields as high as 90%. Mechanistic investigations indicate that the reaction may proceed via a Man...

Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass by N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO), a solvent used in the textile industry to dissolve cellulose for production of regenerated cellulose fibers, was observed to enhance significantly enzymatic saccharification and fermentation. The enhancement was speculated to have been caused by reduced cellulose crystallinity after dissolution and precipitation proce...

Ethanol/water organosolv pulping was used to obtain sugarcane bagasse pulp that was bleached with sodium chlorite. This bleached pulp was used to obtain cellulosic films that were further evaluated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A good film formation was observed when temperature of 74 degrees C and ba...

Abstract Several literature reports describe the role of aqueous solutions N -methylmorpholine- -oxide monohydrate (NMMO) as a suitable medium for generation transition metal (nano)particles in or on cellulosic materials and further elaborate its co-reactant salts that are reduced to elemental metal. However, this would assign NMMO reductant, which is contradiction obvious oxidative nature. In ...

Cellulose derivatives (Figure 1) have many important commercial applications in the fiber, paper, membrane, polymer and paints industries. However, there are only a limited number of common solvents in which cellulose is soluble; solvents include, carbon disulfide, N,Ndimethylacetamide/lithium chloride (DMAC/LiCl), concentrated inorganic salt (ZnCl/H2O, Ca(SCN)2/H2O) and mineral acids (H2SO4/H3...

In this work, the reaction of derivatives benzoic acid containing substituents in aromatic ring (1a-o) with 2-chloro-4,6dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine (4) presence N-methylmorpholine (6) has been synthesized active triazine esters carboxylic acids (3a-o). These compounds obtained potassium butylate (7) vinyl acetate (2) have formed corresponding (5a-o). The electronic effect substitutor affects on ca...

We report a detailed investigation into the application of visible light-mediated photocatalysis to a challenging bond construction in a complex pharmaceutical target. The optimized reaction allowed the direct coupling of N-methylmorpholine with an unfunctionalized pyridazine in good yield and selectivity, and with high purity of the product isolated via crystallization. The reaction also facil...

A general analytical method based on capillary electrophoresis with indirect UV detection has been developed to separate and quarntify N-methylmorpholine-N-Oxide (NMMO) and its main degradation products iV-methylmorpboline (NMM) and morpholine (M). The electrolyte is based on the two major components 4-methylbenzylamine and 2hydlroxy-2-methylpropanoic acid (hydroxyisobutyric acid, HIBA), tbe la...
