Conjugated dienes were produced with complete regio- and stereoselectivity by the titanocene(ii)-promoted alkylation of propargyl carbonates via the formation of 2,3,4-trisubstituted titanacyclobutenes.

Several low-cost opportunities exist for scrubbing CO2 from waste gas streams, utilizing spontaneous chemical reactions in the presence of water and inexpensive or waste alkaline compounds. These reactions convert CO2 to bicarbonate or carbonate in dissolved or solid form, thus providing CO2 capture and low-risk CO2 storage underground, in the ocean, or in some cases on land. Useful by-products...

Bicarbonate species in the aqueous phase is the primary source for CO2 for the growth of microalgae. The potential of carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation by Chlorella pyrenoidosa in enriched bicarbonate medium was evaluated. In the present study, effects of parameters such as pH, sodium bicarbonate concentration and inoculum size were assessed for the removal of CO2 by C. pyrenoidosa under mixotrophi...

The first Lewis base-catalysed chemoselective asymmetric N-allylic alkylation of enamides with Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates has been developed, which affords multifunctional products in moderate to high enantioselectivity (up to 92% ee).

Reported herein is the iridium-catalyzed regio- and enantioselective allylic substitution reactions of unstabilized silyl dienolates derived from dioxinones. Asymmetric allylic substitution of a variety of allylic trichloroethyl carbonates with these silyl dienolates gave γ-allylated products selectively in 60-84% yield and 90-98% ee.

Samples of frozen serum of human or bovine origin have been used as an additional standard for blood acid-base analysis. The serum was used to check and compare the performance of two pH electrodes and microequilibration systems. A mean buffer line for the serum was determined at the start of the series. Daily estimations of base excess and standard bicarbonate were made. When any analysis was ...

obtained from five rich variable star fields at or near the galactic center. In these regions classical Cepheids with periods of less than ten days are infrequent. Five of the eight of shortest period are bright or highly reddened Cepheids, not near the galactic nucleus but in the neighborhood of the Sun. An examination of the distribution of the periods, magnitudes and longitudes of all the 34...

The concentration of bicarbonate was measured in serum samples from 106 children with gastroenteritis and dehydration. A concentration less than 22 mmol/l was more common in children with severe dehydration, but the magnitude of bicarbonate reduction was not significantly different with increasing degrees of dehydration. Doctors should not rely on the serum bicarbonate concentration when assess...

We describe a method to produce bicarbonate-based dialysates containing approximately 100 mg/dl ethanol by introducing the alcohol into one of the dialysate concentrate solutions geared for the production of bicarbonate-based dialysates.

This contribution presents the hydrochemical and isotopic characterisation of the phreatic aquifer located in the Partido de la Costa, province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. In the sand-dune barrier geomorphological environment, groundwater is mainly a low-salinity Ca-HCO3 and Na-HCO3-type, being in general suitable for drinking, whereas in the continental plain (silty clay sediments), groundwate...
