Biodiesel primarily consists of mixtures of long-chain fatty acid methyl esters(FAMEs).The recent large amounts of utilization of biodiesel are motivating intense research efforts to achieve a compreh
The direct catalytic amination of(biomass-derived) alcohols is an attractive transformation from the standpoint of green chemistry,because it is atom-economic and only water is generated as by-product
Carbon dioxide(CO2)is one of the mam reasons for global warming.The catalysts for hydrogenation of CO2 have been developed in order to convert CO2 into formate,a uscful chcmical feedstock.
Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer(ESIPT) between two highly electronegative atoms for example oxygen and nitrogen has been intensively studied experimentally and computationally;however,the
The first theoretical study on the mechanism of [RhCl(CO)2]2-catalyzed [5+1] cycloadditions of 3-acyloxy-1,4-enyne(ACE) and CO has been performed using density functional theory(DFT) calculations.
The activation and transformation of aromatic carbon-oxygen(CAr-O) bonds in lignin to useful chemical building blocks have great potential in chemical industry.
The purpose of this exploratory investigation is to characterize,contrast and explain the differences between efficient Ni(π-allyl)2 and inefficient Pd(π-allyl)2 systems in the catalyzed cross-couplin
