In recent years, biochar has emerged as a remarkable biosourced material for addressing global environmental, agricultural, biomedical, and energy challenges. However, the performances of rest in part on finely tuning its surface chemical properties, intended to obtain specific functionalities. this review, we tackle treatment with silane other coupling agents such diazonium salts, titanates, i...

Two-dimensional (2D) black phosphorus (BP) represents one of the most appealing 2D materials due to its electronic, optical, and chemical properties. Many strategies have been pursued face environmental instability, covalent functionalization being promising. However, extremely low degrees limitations in proving nature still represent challenges many these sheet architectures reported date. Her...

Three bench-stable difluoromethylene phosphonate hydrazones were prepared from simple diethyl(difluoromethyl)phosphonate within two steps in good yields. The [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of these diazo precursors with aryl diazonium salts has been accomplished under metal-free conditions exclusive regioselectivity. This transformation provides practical access to a broad panel 2-aryl-2 H -tet...

Tetrazolone (5-oxotetrazole) was synthesized by a moderate strategy through three steps (addition, cyclization and catalytic hydrogenation) avoiding the unstable intermediate diazonium, as reported during the previous preparation. Alkali and alkaline earth metal salts with lithium (1), sodium (2), potassium (3), rubidium (4) caesium (5), magnesium (6), calcium (7), strontium (8) and barium (9) ...

The synthesis of benzoates from aryl electrophiles and carbon monoxide is a prime example of a transition-metal-catalyzed carbonylation reaction which is widely applied in research and industrial processes. Such reactions proceed in the presence of Pd or Ni catalysts, suitable ligands, and stoichiometric bases. We have developed an alternative procedure that is free of any metal, ligand, and ba...

Symmetric 2,5-bisazopyrroles 2(a-d) were synthesized by a one-step reaction of substituted phenyl diazonium salts [R'(Ph)N2(+)Cl-] [a, R' = 4-N(CH3)2; b, R' = 2-OH; c, R' = 2-CO2H; d, R' = 4-NO2] with pyrrole under basic conditions. Asymmetric 2,5-bisazopyrroles 3(a-d) were synthesized by reacting substituted phenyl diazonium salts [R''(Ph)N2(+)Cl-] (a, R'' = 4-OCH(3); b, R'' = H; c, R'' = 4-Br...
