Thanks to the well-recognized role of benzaldehyde in industry, nowadays research new and sustainable approaches selectively synthesize such an interesting product is receiving great attention from chemists’ community. In this paper, a V-based catalytic biphasic system adopted perform toluene oxidation benzaldehyde. Importantly, pursue sustainability, organic solvents have been avoided, so used...

A review of the current literature shows there is no clear consensus regarding reaction mechanisms air-borne aromatic compounds such as toluene by photocatalytic oxidation. Potential oxidation reactions over TiO2 or TiO2-based catalysts under ultraviolet and visible (UV/VIS) illumination are most commonly considered for removal these pollutants. Along pathways from a model pollutant, toluene, t...

polypyrrole is one of the most useful conductive polymers, but green synthesis of this polymer has been restricted until now. the objective of the present paper is green synthesis of nano polypyrrole (ppy) by oxidative polymerization using urea-hydrogen peroxide. it was found that conductivity and morphology of polypyrrole are highly dependent on the reaction conditions such as the molar ratio ...

Saturation mutagenesis was used to generate eleven substitutions of toluene-o-xylene monooxygenase (ToMO) at alpha subunit (TouA) positions F176 and F196 among which nine were novel: F176H, F176N, F176S, F176T, F196A, F196L, F196T, F196Y, F196H, F196I, and F196V. By testing the substrates phenol, toluene, and naphthalene, these positions were found to influence ToMO oxidation activity and regio...

Reduction of [U(Ts(Tol))(Cl)(μ-Cl)U(Ts(Tol))(THF)2] [2, Ts(Tol) = HC(SiMe2NAr')3; Ar' = 4-MeC6H4)] with KC8 in toluene afforded the new arene-bridged diuranium complex [{U(Ts(Tol))}2(μ-η(6):η(6)-C6H5Me)] (3); combined structural, spectroscopic, magnetic, and computational analyses unambiguously confirm that the uranium centres in 3 are in the +5 oxidation state and the toluene is a 10π-tetraanion.

Alpha-subunit position M180 of toluene-o-xylene monooxygenase influences the regiospecific oxidation of aromatics (e.g., from o-cresol, M180H forms 3-methylcatechol, methylhydroquinone, and 4-methylresorcinol, whereas the wild type forms only 3-methylcatechol). Position E214 influences the rate of reaction (e.g., E214G increases p-nitrophenol oxidation 15-fold) by controlling substrate entrance...

A kinetic mechanism to predict secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from the photo-oxidation of toluene was developed and aerosol phase chemistry that includes nucleation, gas-particle partitioning and particle phase reactions as well as the gasphase chemistry of toluene and its degradation products were represented. The mechanism was evaluated against experiments obtained from a Universit...

In this study, the ability of ozone to oxidise toluene present in low levels into CO and CO2 was studied. The catalytic ozonation carried out a micro-fixed bed reactor. oxidation done two steps: adsorption on catalyst followed by sequential desorption. Toluene breakdown at temperature atmospheric pressure achieved using γ-Al2O3 supported transition metal oxides impregnated with reduced noble me...

Extensive hydrogen-bonds between the hydroxyl-rich BiOCl surface and phosphoric acid significantly facilitate oxygen vacancy formation, O2 activation, deep toluene oxidation.
