In this paper, a novel catalyst (MgAl2O4@SiO2-PTA) was proposed for the green oxidation of aliphatic alcohols. The resultant composite was characterized by different techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, FT-IR, EDX and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis. The prepared nanocomposite was used as a catalyst for oxidation of aliphatic alco...

The current review critically summarizes recent developments in transformations of syngas to higher alcohols. Although alcohols have found applications as fuel additives, detergents and plastics for a long while, transformation jet has attained interest due an urgent need develop fuels from sustainable sources. Fermentation lignocellulosic-based sugars ethanol technology does not compete with t...

dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (dbsa) was used as an efficient, cheap and stable brønsted catalyst for acetylation of alcohols and phenols and formylation of alcohols under solvent-free conditions. various primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols were acetylated with acetic anhydride as an acetylating agent under solvent-free conditions in the presence of catalytic amount of dbsa at room temperatu...

The development of new fluorine-containing building blocks and their efficient synthetic access is currently a challenging research field. Herein, the highly regio- stereoselective addition large range aldehydes onto trifluoromethylated benzofulvenes was achieved using simple La/I2/DIBAL-Cl system via selective C?F bond activation process. This versatile methodology provided homodienyl alcohols...

In this study, the adsorption behavior of the primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols over nanoscale (1 0 0) surface of defect spinel γ-alumina was investigated with the aid of density functional theory (DFT) at BLYP/DNP level of calculation. The influence of different substituents including alkyl, cycloalkyl, allyl and aryl were analyzed for free and adsorbed alcohols to shed light the adsorp...

The vapor-phase dehydration of 1,3-butanediol (1,3-BDO) to produce 1,3-butadiene (BD) was investigated over yttrium zirconate, Y2Zr2O7, which prepared through a hydrothermal aging process. 1,3-BDO initially dehydrated three unsaturated alcohols, namely 3-buten-2-ol, 3-buten-1-ol, and 2-buten-1-ol, followed by the further BD. catalytic activity Y2Zr2O7 strongly dependent on calcination temperatu...

Vesicles formed from synthetic, double-tailed amphiphiles are often used as mimics for biological membranes. However, biological membranes are a complex mixture of various compounds. In the present paper we describe a first attempt to study the importance of additives on vesicular catalysis. The rate-determining deprotonation of 5-nitrobenzisoxazole (Kemp elimination) by hydroxide ion is effici...
