Iodobenzene diacetate was employed as a mild and efficient reagent for one-pot oxidative decarboxylation of tetrahydro-β-carboline acids and dehydrogenation of tetrahydro-β-carbolines to access the corresponding aromatic β-carbolines. To the best of our knowledge this is the first synthesis of β-carbolines via a one-pot oxidative decarboxylation at ambient temperature. The utility of this proto...

For the first time, we demonstrated that combining oxidative and non-oxidative dehydrogenation of iso-butane in one reactor system is an attractive approach for iso-butene and hydrogen production. Iso-butene yields above 40% at iso-butene selectivity above 80% and CO(x) selectivity below 2% were achieved over SiO(2)-supported highly-dispersed VO(x) species during at least 20 h on-stream at 833 K.

We report the synthesis and characterization of new V2O5/Al2O3-MgO catalysts and their application in oxidative dehydrogenation and epoxidation reactions. The materials were prepared by wet impregnation under excess acid conditions. Anchoring of the desired species on the support occurs via an exchange reaction between the vanadium complex and surface hydroxyl groups. The IR and UV-Vis spectra ...

MXenes: The structural vacancies of a Ti2CTx MXene-based catalyst played key role in the thermal oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) butane. electronic properties final catalyst, which was mixture anatase and rutile titania, favoured production olefins compared to materials similar composition – oxidised TiC or TiO2 samples.

Steady-state metabolite (ADP, ATP, P(i), PCr, and NADH) concentrations usually differ little between different workloads with significantly different oxygen consumption rates in the heart. However, during transitions between steady states, metabolite concentrations may in some cases change transiently, exhibiting a significant overshoot or undershoot, whereas in other cases they approach near-e...

The catalytic properties of Al2O3-supported vanadia with a wide range of VOx surface density (1.4-34.2 V/nm) and structure were examined for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane and propane. UV-visible and Raman spectra showed that vanadia is dispersed predominately as isolated monovanadate species below ~2.3 V/nm. As surface densities increase, two-dimensional polyvanadates appear (2.3-7.0 ...
