Organometallic Compounds and Homogeneous Catalysis

Transition-Metal-Free Coupling Reactions

“…Transition-metal-catalyzed reactions have been studied since the very beginning of the past century and represent a great success in organic chemistry, along with the birth and growth of organometallic chemistry . Transition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions, which were initiated in 1960s as a major topic in organometallic chemistry, have made significant progress in the last half century and become one of the most efficient and direct strategies for carbon–carbon bond formation .…”

Catalytic Biorefining of Natural Oils to Basic Olefinic Building Blocks of Proven Chemical Valorization Schemes

“…Concerning the practicability of our approach, it is encouraging to note that both alkenolysis reactions [45] and olefin isomerizations [46,47] are both viable on an industrial scale (though as seperated processes and with substrates different than the feedstocks used here), as are processes in supercritical media at elevated pressures. [48,49] Further improvements of catalyst performance are desirable to improve competitiveness with highly optimized traditional petrochemical procedures.…”

Synthesis, characterization and study the biological evaluation of some Schiff base derivatives in the presence of lemon juice catalyst

“…The green solvent is normally derived from renewable resources, often naturally occurring product. Recently fruit juice is used in chemical reactions for the synthesis of compounds [31,32]. Fruit juices are inimitable solvent and catalyst.…”
