Recently development of high-performance polymer composites made from natural resources in the various sectors is increasing tremendously due to environmental issues and health hazard possessed by synthetic fibers during disposal manufacturing. Among many different types resources, kenaf have been extensively investigated as an alternative reinforcement for over past few years their low cost, g...

The scope of the NHC-redox amidation has been expanded to include a variety of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, including α-fluoro α,β-unsaturated aldehydes which give rise to enantioenriched α-fluoroamides in good to excellent yield and enantioselectivity (up to 97% ee). Enantioenriched amines may be elaborated to either diastereomer of the product in high diastereoselectivity (up to 99:1). Function...
