Biolubricant base oils, 9,12-hydroxy-10,13-oleioxy-12-octadecanoic acid (HYOOA) was synthesized based on the esterification reaction of Monoepoxide linoleic acid 9(12)-10(13)-monoepoxy 12(9)-octadecanoic acid (MEOA) with oleic acid (OA) and catalyzed by p-Toluenesulfonic acid. The optimum conditions for the experiment using D-optimal design to obtain high yield% of 84.61, conversion% of 83.54 a...

2-[¹⁸F]Fluoroethyl azide ([¹⁸F]FEA) can readily be obtained by nucleophilic substitution of 2-azidoethyl-4-toluenesulfonate with [¹⁸F]fluoride (half-life 110 min), and has become widely used as a reagent for 'click' labeling of PET tracers. However, distillation of [18F]FEA is typically required, which is time-consuming and unpractical for routine applications. In addition, copper(I)-catalyzed ...

Layered double hydroxide represents a class of materials for selective adsorption and catalysis. In the present work, anionic p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) was successfully incorporated into interlayer domain Mg-Al layered (LDH), synthesized by co-precipitation route. Materials were characterized X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman magic angle nuclear ...

In the present research, activated carbon-supported sulfonic acid catalysts were synthesized and tested as pretreatment agents for conversion of switchgrass into glucose. The by reacting sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic p-toluenesulfonic with carbon. characterization suggested an increase in surface acidities, while area pore volumes decreased because sulfonation. Batch experiments performed 125 ...

Reactions of 4-hydroxycoumarin 1 with heterocyclic aldehydes 2-4 led to bis-4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives 5-7 under microwave irradiation as well the classical heating. The subsequent reactions products are described. 4,4’-Epoxydicoumarins 8, 9 were prepared by reaction in acetic acid / p-toluenesulfonic medium. Compound 10 was 5 anhydride presence sodium acetate. Dioxocine-1,15-dione 11 6 dich...

Sludge palm oil (SPO) is an attractive feedstock and a significant raw material for biodiesel production. The use of SPO can lower the cost of biodiesel production significantly. In this study biodiesel fuel was produced from SPO by esterification process using P-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) as acid catalyst in different dosages in presence of methanol to convert free fatty acid (FFA) to fatty a...

Previous work from this laboratory (1, 2) has demonstrated that the vasopressin from beef posterior pituitary lobes, after partial purification by the procedure of Kamm et al. (3), can be obtained in a high degree of purity by means of countercurrent distribution with the system 0.09 M p-toluenesulfonic acid-n-butyl alcohol. Although no detectable difference was observed in the physical propert...
