Thiol-ene 'click' reactions have been initiated for a range of primary alkenes using ultrasound in both toluene and water. The method is particularly effective in aqueous solutions in the presence of air.
Aqueous solutions of salts or dyes have been contained in sonochemically produced lysozyme microspheres by encapsulating an inverse emulsion in tetradecane. Release can be triggered by chemically disrupting crosslinking in the protein shell or by mechanical disruption using high intensity ultrasound.
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.
