This study was aimed at determining the effect, if any, that steric factors may have on the diastereoselectivity in the spiroannulation of simple phenols. A series of phenols bearing different size substituents ortho to the phenolic hydroxyl were synthesized and spiroannulated to the corresponding spiroethers in good to excellent yields (76-94%). However, the diastereoselectivity of the reactio...

Pyrolysis of phenolic resins leads to carbon formation. Simulating this resin-to-carbon process atomistically is a daunting task. In this paper, we attempt to model the initial stage of this process by using the ReaxFF reactive force field, which bridges quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical methods. We run molecular dynamics simulations to examine the evolution of small molecules at diff...

The knowledge generated by this stream has increased the wine industry’s capacity for meeting wine specification and consumer expectations and improving profitability. In particular, this stream was undertaken to provide the Australian wine industry with an improved understanding of structures, measurement, formation and function of phenolic compounds in red and white grapes and wines. Compound...

Furfural and cashew nut shell liquid are both renewable resources that can be used for the manufacture of a multitude useful products. Herein this review is studied to made concerning replacement phenol aldehyde compounds in phenolic resin. Cardanol phenol-based by-product having an unsaturated alkyl chain thus promising substitute development This focuses on synthesis process modified resin by...
