In this paper, the applicability of immobilized lanthanum (III) triflate on amine grafted graphene oxide [La(OTf)2-amine grafted-GO] as the first multifunctional catalyst is described for the efficient synthesis of α-aminophosphonates by one-pot three-component reaction of carbonyl compounds, substituted anilines and trialkyl phosphites. Various α-aminophosphonates were synthesized in good to h...

5-Amino-2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-dione (Luminol 1) reacted with some organophosphorus reagents such as phosphonium ylides, trialkyl phosphites, and tris(dialkylamino)phosphines to afford the corresponding olefinic products 5a-e, alkoxy-, dialkylamino derivatives of Luminol 6a-e. 4-Thioxo-3,4-dihydrophthalazin-1(2H)-one derivative 7 was synthesized from reaction (1) thiating Lawesson Japanese ...

Post-translational modifications (PTM) of proteins can control complex and dynamic cellular processes via regulating interactions between key proteins. To understand these regulatory mechanisms, it is critical that we can profile the PTM-dependent protein-protein interactions. However, identifying these interactions can be very difficult using available approaches, as PTMs can be dynamic and of...

Consumption of industrially produced trans-fatty acids (TFAs) is a well-established health risk factor that correlates with the increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The recommended TFA intake is as low as possible, within the context of a nutritionally adequate diet. Different countries have introduced different measures to minimize the exposure of their population to TFAs. Prev...

We have developed highly efficient, ambient temperature, solid-state ionic conductors (SSICs) for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) by doping a molecular plastic crystal, succinonitrile (SN), with trialkyl-substituted imidazolium iodide salts. High performance SSICs with enhanced ionic conductivity (2-4 mScm⁻¹) were obtained. High performance solid-state DSSCs with power conversion efficiency ...

An electrochemical version of the Corey-Winter reaction was developed giving excellent results in aqueous methanol media (MeOH/H2O (80:20) with AcOH/AcONa buffer 0.5 M as supporting electrolyte), using a reticulated vitreous carbon as cathode in a divided cell. The electrochemical version is much more environmentally friendly than the classical reaction, where a large excess of trialkyl phosphi...
