An Unprecedented Use for Glycerol: Chemoselective Reducing Agent for Sulfoxides†
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new application for glycerol that expands its possibilities apart from green solvent and precursor of value-added products has been demonstrated. Simple, easily available, and environmentally friendly dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes are highly efficient catalysts for the chemoselective sulfoxide deoxygenation with this biomass-derived chemical feedstock. Both refined glycerol and crude glycerin 10

Pinacol as a New Green Reducing Agent: Molybdenum- Catalyzed Chemoselective Reduction of Sulfoxides and Nitroaromatics
Pinacol is described as a new chemoselective and environmentally benign reducing agent for sulfoxides and nitroaromatics assisted by readily available dichlorodioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes as catalysts. A wide range of substrates including those bearing challenging functional groups have been efficiently and selectively reduced being acetone and water the only byproducts of these reactions.
متن کاملMicrowave Assisted Rapid, Efficient and Chemoselective Deoxygenation of Sulfoxides to Thioethers Using Zn / AcOH on Silica Gel
Zn/AcOH on silica gel converts a range of structurally different sulfoxides to their corresponding thioethers in excellent yields under microwave irradiation. It has been found that chemoselective deoxygenation of sufoxides can be achieved in the presence of other reducible functional groups such as acetals, acids, amides, esters, ketones and nitriles.
متن کاملInvestigation of Different Glycerol and Egg Yolk Concentration on Freezing Bakhtiari Ram Semen
Purpose: Glycerol has been the most widely used cryopreservation agent for spermatozoa and a wide range of factors affects its action on sperm viability and fertilizing capacity. Moreover egg yolk is a common constituent of semen diluents, protects the spermatozoa against cold shock and confers protection during freezing and thawing .The aim of this study was to investigate of different glycero...
متن کاملHighly chemoselective metal-free reduction of tertiary amides.
This communication describes the chemoselective metal-free reduction of tertiary amides to the corresponding amines. Hantzsch ester is used as a mild reducing agent for the reduction of trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride activated amides providing the tertiary amines with high functional group tolerance.

Crude glycerol (CG) is an abundantly available and cheap by-product from biodiesel production. Value-added applications for CG are highly wanted by industry and several processes such as the use of CG for enhanced oil recovery have been proposed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sulfide production of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) indigenous to oil reservoirs using CG as substrate. Th...
