Base‐Mediated N‐Acetylation of Anilines/Amines: Nitriles as a Surrogate of the Acetyl Group

Abstract

A base‐mediated protocol has been established for the N‐acetylation of anilines/amines at room temperature. Reaction utilizes acetonitrile as a solvent as well as a surrogate of the acetyl group. Apart from acetonitrile, trifluoroacetonitrile could also be utilized in the reaction. The advantages of the reactions are simple operation, transition‐metal‐free approach, short reaction time, high functional group tolerance, and gram‐scale synthesis, which show the reaction‘s utility. The developed strategy represents a valuable approach in synthetic organic chemistry.

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Photocatalytic Activity of NiTiO3 for the Degradation of Malachite Green under Visible Light Irradiation

“…From these results, it is clear that the surface‐bound (OH*) radicals and holes have the principal role in the oxidation of MG in the presence of a titanium‐based photocatalyst ($${{{\rm N}{\rm i}{\rm T}{\rm i}{\rm O}}_{3})}$$ . Moreover, the degradation process occurred mainly on the external surface rather than the catalyst used [74,75] …”

Synergistic fabrication, characterization, and prospective optoelectronic applications of DES grafted activated charcoal dispersed PVA films

“…While PVA is an insulator, its semiconducting potential can be unlocked through doping 26,27 . The dopant materials added to PVA alter its electronic properties, allowing for the creation of free charge carriers leading to electrical conductivity 28,29 . Modifying the dopant type and concentration can achieve various levels of conductivity, transforming insulating PVA into valuable semiconducting material for optoelectronic applications 30–32 …”

Modified eco‐friendly and biodegradable chitosan‐based sustainable semiconducting thin films

“…DES, derived from choline chloride, glycerine, and ethylene glycol, garners acclaim for its distinct features, comprising low toxicity, nature‐friendly, and unique solvent properties, positioning it as a compelling candidate for various applications. In contrast, activated carbon with its microscale architecture, boasts excellent electrical, thermal, and mechanical characteristics, presenting prospects such as solar cells, photovoltaics, 12,13 photodetectors, and light‐emitting devices 14–16 …”
