During this study, we report the green synthesis of  magnetic copper ferrite nanoparticles using tragacanth gum as a reducing and stabilizing agent by the sol-gel method. The green synthesized CuFe2O4 MNPs are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and scanning electron microscopy...

The borrowing hydrogen methodology allows for the use of alcohols as alkylating agents for CC bond forming processes offering significant environmental benefits over traditional approaches. Iridium(I)-cyclooctadiene complexes having a NHC ligand with a O- or N-functionalised wingtip efficiently catalysed the oxidation and β-alkylation of secondary alcohols with primary alcohols in the presence...

Diketopyrrolopyrroles are N-alkylated under mild conditions using secondary aliphatic and benzyl type alcohols.

Glycols and ethoxy– propoxy–alcohols are fundamental chemicals in industry, with annual productions of millions tons, still manufactured many cases corrosive unrecoverable catalysts such as KOH, amines BF3•OEt2. Here we show that commercially available, inexpensive, non–toxic, solid recyclable nanotitania catalyzes the hydration alkoxylation epoxides, water primary secondary alcohols but not ph...

Abstract Borrowing hydrogen (BH) reactions are very useful for the sustainable synthesis of C−C and C−N bonds. They generally operate with transition metal‐based catalysts along stoichiometric/catalytic amounts added base. Here we report that two catalytic transformations, carried out BH methodology, i. e. N ‐alkylation amines alcohols β‐alkylation secondary primary alcohols, can be performed e...

Deracemization of racemic chiral compounds is an attractive approach in asymmetric synthesis, but its development has been hindered by energetic and kinetic challenges. Here we describe a catalytic deracemization method for secondary benzylic alcohols which are important synthetic intermediates end products many industries. Driven visible light only, this based on sequential photochemical dehyd...
