The use of fiber reinforced plastics (FRPs) has significant potential to reduce the weight components. As regards sustainability these components, thermoplastic matrices offer more for recycling than thermoset ones. A possible manufacturing process production FRPs is resin transfer molding (T-RTM). In this very moisture-sensitive process, ε-caprolactam in addition an activator and catalyst poly...

Abstract In this work we studied the reactivity of Trifluoroacetic acid hydroxylamine system in one step salt free synthesis amides from ketones. A particular regards was paid to caprolactam because its industrial relevance. Synthesis, and characterization trifluoroacetate is given. Fast oximation reaction several ketones gained at room temperature (1 h quantitative conversion for ketones). sam...

A highly efficient, asymmetric synthesis of telcagepant (1), a CGRP receptor antagonist for the treatment of migraine, is described. This synthesis features the first application of iminium organocatalysis on an industrial scale. The key to the success of this organocatalytic transformation was the identification of a dual acid cocatalyst system, which allowed striking a balance of the reaction...

We recently isolated a Pseudomonas sp. strain W15Feb9B from Ochlockonee River, Florida and demonstrated potent biodegradative activity against two commonly used pesticides - Alachlor [(2-chloro-2',6'-diethylphenyl-N (methoxymethyl)acetanilide)] and Endosulfan [(6,7,8,9,10,10-hexachloro-1,5,5a,6,9,9a-hexahydro-6,9methano-2,3,4-benzo(e)di-oxathiepin-3-oxide], respectively. To further identify the...
