Gold nanoparticles supported on cerium(IV) oxide powder showing strong absorption at around 550 nm due to surface plasmon resonance oxidized aromatic alcohols to corresponding aldehydes almost quantitatively in an aqueous suspension under irradiation of green light.

Crude cell-free preparations of Botrytis cinerea were found to oxidize straight-chain primary alcohols (except methanol), aromatic primary alcohols, and unsaturated primary alcohols. The resulting products were the corresponding aldehydes and an equal molar quantity of hydrogen peroxide.

A multicomponent reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyls with 1,2-diamines and aromatic aldehydes is described for the direct stereoselective synthesis of 1,4-diazepane derivatives. Various reaction conditions were tested, including an efficient, user-friendly solvent- and catalyst-free procedure.

Abstract 4-(2-Pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR) sodium salt reacts with aromatic aldehydes and malononitrile in aqueous ethanol to form 2-amino-4-aryl-5-hydroxy-6-(2-pyridylazo)-4 H -chromene-3-carbonitriles.

Wine models with or without a dearomatised and lyophilized red wine extract containing young aroma base (control) plus one vector several compounds (unsaturated-aldehydes, saturated-aldehydes, benzaldehyde, isoamyl-alcohol, methoxypyrazines (Z)-1,5-octadien-3-one) were prepared. Models spiked increasing amounts of acetaldehyde whose headspace concentrations controlled. Odour nasal chemesthesic ...

Transketolase has significant industrial potential for the asymmetric synthesis of carboncarbon bonds with new chiral centres. Variants evolved on propanal were found previously with nascent activity on polar aromatic aldehydes 3-formylbenzoic acid (3-FBA), 4-formylbenzoic acid (4-FBA), and 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde (3-HBA), suggesting a potential novel route to analogues of chloramphenicol. Here w...

Sodium triacetoxyborohydride is presented as a general reducing agent for the reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones. Procedures for using this mild and selective reagent have been developed for a wide variety of substrates. The scope of the reaction includes aliphatic acyclic and cyclic ketones, aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes, and primary and secondary amines including a variety of wea...

Aromatic aldehydes are efficiently condensed with 2'-hydroxyacetophenone by polymer-supported basic ionic liquid as an excellent heterogeneous catalyst utilizing the Claisen–Schmidt reaction. Microwave irradiation has been employed, providing flavanone in good yield and short reaction time.

An efficient and eco-friendly protocol for the preparation of 2-amino-4H-chromenes employing a multi-component, one-pot condensation reaction between aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile and1-naphthol has been developed. The reaction of 1-naphthol with malononitrile and various aromatic aldehydes was carried out i...

Flavor is one of the most essential indicators for determining quality cocoa beans, especially fine flavor cocoa. The volatile compound in beans affect mechanism emergence. Therefore, this study aimed to identify aromatic and non-aromatic groups as FFCs indicator. It was conducted at Indonesian Coffee Cocoa Research Institute, Jember, East Java, Indonesia. Furthermore, genetic material used con...
