(3Z)-Hexenol, which is commonly called leaf al­ cohol, and (2£)-hexenal, also called leaf aldehyde, are widely distributed in fresh leaves, vegetables and fruits. They are mainly responsible for the socalled “green odour” characteristic of leaves, along with other C6-compounds such as (3£")-, and (2£)-hexenols, their corresponding aldehydes (3Z)-, (3£")-hexenals, «-hexanol and «-hexanal. Thus, ...

A new material system that can produce very high green strength and green density has been developed for conventional compaction processing. The system, which uses a zincless lubricant, is based on the optimization of the bonding mechanism and binder chemistry. This approach permits the bonding of copper particles in a FC-0208 mix. Examples of the binder-treatment of FN-0208, Ancorstee145P, and...

biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles with small size and biostability is very important and used in various biomedical applications. in the present work, we describe the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (ag-nps) using seed aqueous extract of olea europaea (oe) and its antibacterial activity. uv–visible spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (xrd), transmission electron microscopy (tem), scanning elec...

R ecent years have seen a disheartening string of revelations in which everyday items once considered safe—food packaging, toys, clothes, furniture, electronic components, and many more products—are found to contain carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, and other harmful chemicals. Growing demand for healthier alternatives, already seen in food production and housing construction, is also happenin...

Green chemistry is a tool, which when implemented right, can help the industry achieve its environmental goals. Broadly defined as the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances, green chemis t ry a l lows companies to develop better products through sustainable processes. In this article, we will summarize the dr ivers towa...

The scientific community’s general interest in using mechanical energy to trigger or facilitate chemical reactivity has been growing at a speedy pace. In particular, in recent years, organic chemistry has witnessed a constant flow of examples where the use of mechanochemical techniques proved not only to outperform traditional solution-based methodologies, but also enabled access to otherwise i...

A novel, green chemistry, glycosylation strategy was developed based upon the use of ionic liquids. Research studies demonstrated that thiomethyl glycosides could readily be activated with methyl trifluoromethane sulfonate, using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate as a solvent. This green chemistry glycosylation strategy provided disaccharides with typical yields averaging 75%. The i...
