In this study, renewable products with potentially interesting properties and applications were synthesized by functionalizing linseed oil via epoxidation epoxy ring-opening carboxylic acids anhydrides. LDHs (Layered Double Hydroxides), a well-known class of materials used for wide range reactions, are the catalysts in overall advantages facile separation reusability. our different types anhydr...

A regioselective epoxy alcohol cyclization promoted by the combination of neutral water and a tetrahydropyran template was investigated through a series of mechanistic experiments carried out on an epoxy alcohol containing a tetrahydropyran ring (1a) and its carbocyclic congener (1b). In contrast to 1a, cyclizations of 1b were unselective and displayed significantly faster reaction rates sugges...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to develop a low shrinkage visible light curable nanocomposite dental restorative material without sacrificing the other properties of conventional materials. This nanocomposite was developed by using an epoxy resin 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl-(3,4-epoxy)cyclohexane carboxylate (ERL4221) matrix with 55% wt of 70-100 nm nanosilica fillers through ring-opening p...

Straightforward conversion of (+)-6,8-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydro-3- undecylisocoumarin (3) to the title isocoumarin was carried out. Hydrolytic ring opening of (3) afforded the hydroxy acid (4) which was immediately oxidized to keto acid (5) using chromic acid, Cyclodehydration of (5) afforded the 6,8- dimethoxy-3-undecylisocoumarin (6) which on selective demethylation of 8- methoxy group furni...

The preparation of some ring A and B epoxy steroids derived from testosterone, pregnenolone and epiandrosterone using m-chloroperbenzoic acid is described. The biotransformation of the epoxy products by the fungus Mucor plumbeus are performed. The introduction of the epoxy group into the steroids moiety has affected the biotransformation results and gave only hydrolyzed products.

Modern synthetic methods have revolutionized polymer chemistry through the development of new and powerful strategies for the controlled synthesis of complex polymer architectures.1-5 Many of these developments were spawned by new classes of transition metal catalysts for the synthesis of new polyolefin microstructures,5 the design of highly efficient families of “living” polymerization strateg...

In this research, effect of opening on the buckling of FMLs (Fiber Metal Laminate) is studied. Samples are made of a laminate, epoxy resin reinforced with four layers of woven basalt fibers, inserted between two Al plates. Different samples are prepared, tested and studied; one group without opening and the other two groups with circular openings of radii 10 and 20 mm. In all samples buckling i...

Ever since Nugent first reported a practical, catalytic method for the enantioselective opening of meso-epoxides with trimethylsilyl azide (TMSN3), [1] such desymmetrization reactions of epoxides and aziridines using a variety of nucleophiles have been the subject of extensive research. The less developed ring-opening reactions, those of meso-aziridines by carbon and nitrogen nucleophiles, give...
