We report on the synthesis of C60 and C70 monoadducts at room temperature through Bingel reaction; employing acetylacetone as ligand; in presence DBU (1,8-Diazabicyclo [5.4.0] undec-7-ene), carbon tetrabromide (CBr4), o-dichlorobenzene. Diacetylmethane-[C60-Ih]-fullerene-[5,6] diacetylmethane-[C70-D5h]-fullerene-[5,6] were obtained with yields 69% 44%, respectively. The products purified by col...

Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and glycidol are considered industrially important chemical entities there is a great benefit if these moieties can be synthesized from biomass-derived feedstocks such as glycerol or its derivatives. In this report, both DMC were in an integrated process derived 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol CO2 through metal-free reaction approach at mild conditions. Initially, the chlorinat...

The electron-donor and unique redox properties of the tetrathiafulvalene (TTF, 1) moiety have led to diverse applications in many areas of chemistry. Monopyrrolotetrathiafulvalenes (MPTTFs, 4) and bispyrrolotetrathiafulvalenes (BPTTFs, 5) are useful structural motifs and have found widespread use in fields such as supramolecular chemistry and molecular electronics. Protocols enabling the synthe...

The cleavage of decanethioacetate (C10SAc) has been studied by (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) imaging of in situ prepared decanethiolate self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au(111). Solutions of C10SAc (46 mM) and previously reported cleavage reagents (typically 58 mM) in CD(3)OD were monitored at 20 degrees C by NMR spectroscopy. Clea...

Copolymerization is the general approach to combine properties of different polymers in a single material. We prepared first trimethylene carbonate (TMC) phosphoester (PE) copolymers by statistical copolymerization using either stannous octanoate or 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) as respective catalyst. Variation comonomer feed, reaction temperature and solvent, resulted library with ...

This work aims to develop a new ionic liquid, used as an aprotic green ä solvent, to dissolve kraft lignin from black liquor. The kraft lignin was extracted through precipitation with carbon dioxide at atmospheric pressure. 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene-based ionic liquids were obtained by quaternization of the nitrogen atom with a hydrogen atom or an alkyl chain. The yields of the synthes...
