an efficient, mild and environmentally friendly method was developed for the strecker reaction to synthesize α-aminonitriles in the presence of methyl imidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([hmim][hso4]) as an efficient catalyst. these syntheses were performed via a one-pot three-component condensation of aldehydes (or ketones), amines, and trimethylsilyl cyanide under mild and solvent free conditions.

Impurities enter the electrolyte mainly from the consumable carbon anode and aluminium oxide. Important impurity elements are iron, silicon, phosphorus and sulfur. Metallic impurities such as iron and silicon tend to codeposit at the cathode, while dissolved phosphorus and sulfur species also affect the current efficiency for aluminium production. In modern industrial cells more impurities end ...

The merit of the Oppenauer oxidation (Oppenauer, 1937; reviewed by Djerassi, 1951) using aluminium alkoxides and a hydrogen acceptor, is that unsaturated alcohols can be converted to aldehydes and ketones without affecting the ethylenic linkages. Applied to vitamin A alcohol it ought to yield retinene, (vitamin A1 aldehyde) as the primary product. Hawkins & Hunter (1944a), using aluminium isopr...

Sulfate-reducing bacteria, like Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough, use the reduction of sulfate as a sink for electrons liberated in oxidation reactions of organic substrates. The rate of the latter exceeds that of sulfate reduction at the onset of growth, causing a temporary accumulation of hydrogen and other fermentation products (the hydrogen or fermentation burst). In addition to hydroge...

Objective(s) The aims of present study were to elucidate the effect of NaHS as a H2S donor on precontracted rat trachea smooth muscle, role of epithelium and nitric oxide in this action. Materials and Methods Tracheal rings from male adult Wistar rats were isolated and mounted in an organ bath containing Krebs–Henseleit solution under 1.5 g resting tension and contractions were recorded isom...

in the present of methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate, the synthesis of arylidene heterobicyclic pyrimidinones is studied by condensation of aromatic aldehyde, cyclopentanone, and urea or thiourea. using solvent-free conditions, non-toxic and inexpensive materials, simple and clean work-up, short reaction times and good yields of the products are the advantages of this method.

in this study, oxidation of some 3,5-diacyl or 3,5-diester 1,4-dihydropyridines to corresponding pyridine derivatives using sodium bromate in the presence of nh4cl, nahso4 and bu4nhso4 under thermal conditions has been investigated. the yield and structure of formed products is similar under all conditions; however, the reaction is accelerated in the presence of bu4nhso4 and nahso4. in addition...
