The catalytic performance of thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) functionalized at the terminal position with randomly methylated β-cyclodextrin was demonstrated by the aqueous Rh-catalysed hydroformylation of higher olefins.

In the title compound, C(17)H(19)NO(6), which may serve as a ketone catalyst for the asymmetric epoxidation of olefins, the crystal packing is consolidated by C-H⋯O inter-actions.

ITQ-69 has been synthesized, characterized, and its application as selective adsorbent for light olefins/paraffins tested.

The dechlorination of chlorinated hydrocarbons has been examined in detail. The reaction is catalyzed by cytochrome P-450 and occurs optimally in the presence of oxygen although some dechlorination may occur under anaerobic conditions. Halothane has been shown to undergo an oxidative dechlorination and a reductive defluorination. Enzymatic attack of chlorinated olefins and hydrocarbons is not o...

Shown herein is that polyfunctionalized nitrogen heterocycles can be easily prepared by a visible-light-mediated radical cascade process. This divergent strategy features the oxidative generation of iminyl radicals and subsequent cyclization/radical trapping, which allows the effective construction of highly functionalized heterocycles. The reactions proceed efficiently at room temperature, uti...

Application Note SI-01367 1 of 4 www.varianinc.com Introduction The Varian PIONA+TM Analyzer was developed to characterize the complete hydrocarbon sample composition, including individual oxygenates, in a single analysis of spark ignition engine fuels by multi-dimensional gas chromatography. The sample is separated in the component groups per carbon number and in individual components through ...

We report comprehensive, quantitative, ab initio theoretical estimates for the energetics involved in the Ag-catalyzed epoxidation of olefins. From these estimates, a detailed mechanism is proposed. This mechanism (based on theoretical quantum chemical studies of the interaction of atomic and molecular adsorbates with clusters of Ag atoms) proposes that a surface atomic oxyradical anion is the ...

The dehydroformylation of aldehydes to generate olefins occurs during the biosynthesis of various sterols, including cholesterol in humans. Here, we implement a synthetic version that features the transfer of a formyl group and hydride from an aldehyde substrate to a strained olefin acceptor. A Rhodium (Xantphos)(benzoate) catalyst activates aldehyde carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds with high chemos...

Heteroatom-functionalized polyolefins are of fundamental interest and practical importance. This has spurred investigations of the copolymerization of polar and nonpolar olefins. We report the first syndiospecific polymerization of a series of heteroatom-containing α-olefins and their copolymerization with ethylene catalyzed by half-sandwich rare-earth complexes. We have found that the interact...

Nano-SAPO-34 molecular sieves synthesized in a microwave environment with 20 nm crystal size showed a longer lifetime than SAPO-34 prepared by the conventional hydrothermal method in the reaction of methanol to olefins. It has been found that silicon distribution strongly affects the lifetime and selectivity. Thus, silicon at the border of the silicon islands gives a higher lifetime and lower C...
