Silver nanoparticles supported on microcrystalline cellulose (Ag NPs@MCC), an active catalyst, has been discovered for the direct carbonylation of terminal alkynes with CO2 into carboxylic acid under mild and sustainable reaction conditions.
Ferrite nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs)
supported
on microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) are introduced as an active nanocatalyst
for the preparation of the α-keto thioglyoxamides via a microwave
(MW)-assisted protocol. This prepared catalyst shows consistent particle
size of Fe3O4 NPs as characterized by PXRD,
XPS, SEM, EDS, EDX, TEM, HR-TEM, and FT-IR analysis. A wide variety
of thioglyoxamindes are synthesized under optimized reaction conditions
to afford a good yield in a short time. Importantly, the presented
catalyst can be recycled up to five cycles with no major loss in its
activity and is equally relevant for the gram-scale synthesis of thioglyoxamides.
This environmentally benign approach offers several advantages and
displays good green chemistry metrics (GCM), namely, process mass
intensity (PMI), E-factor and atom economy (AE), and reaction mass
efficiency (RME).
Four novel tri-substituted supramolecular materials (CTGC1-CTGC4) have been synthesized by converting cyclotriveratrylene to cyclotriguaiacyclene followed by esterification using 4-n-alkoxy derivatives of trans cinnamic acid (B1-B4). The compounds were characterized by...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
