The short lived pincer complex [(C5H3N(CH2P( Bu)2)2)Ir(H)2(py)]BF4 is shown to be active for signal amplification by reversible exchange. This catalyst formulation enables the efficient transfer of polarization from parahydrogen to be placed into just a single molecule of the hyperpolarisation target, pyridine. When the catalysts H nuclei are replaced by H, increased levels of substrate hyperpo...

Using a highly effective binuclear Cu complex as the catalyst, the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions between 16 alkynes and two azides were successfully performed and resulted in the production of 25 new triazole-containing sorafenib analogs. Several compounds were evaluated as potent antitumor agents. Among them, 4-(4-(4-(3-fluorophenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)phenoxy)-N-methylpicolinamide (8...

poly (n-bromosuccinimide) (pnbs) as a mild, efficient, non-acidic, polymeric and heterogeneous catalyst was applied for simple conversion of epoxides into thiiranes by treatment with kscn or (nh2)2cs at room temperature. aliphatic and aromatic epoxides converted into their corresponding thiiranes under mild conditions. all reactions proceeded in short reaction times and afforded the correspondi...

The title compound, C(16)H(14)O(5), was prepared from the reaction of 3-carbethoxy-coumarin with furan in the presence of AlCl(3) as catalyst. In the crystal, inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions between four mol-ecules lead to a tetra-mer in the unit cell. The furan ring is anti-periplanar [C-C-C-O = 167.9 (13)°] and the ethoxy-carbonyl group is (-)anti-clinal [C-C-C-O = -128.6...

8 ABSTRACT: In most envisioned applications, the full 9 utilization of a graphene-carbon nanotube (CNT) construct 10 requires maintaining the integrity of the graphene layer during 11 the CNT growth step. In this work, we exhibit an approach 12 toward controlled CNT growth atop graphene substrates 13 where the reaction equilibrium between the source hydro14 carbon decomposition and carbon satur...

The translation of organometallic reactions into a microwave reactor has numerous advantages. Herein, we describe the application of a previously developed solid-supported Glaser-Hay reaction to microwave conditions. Overall, an array of diynes has been prepared demonstrating the ability to conduct chemoselective reactions in the microwave within 20 min compared to the 16 h thermal conditions. ...

C media, particularly blogs, can help companies increase the visibility of their products without spending millions of dollars in advertising. Although a number of companies realize the potential of blogs and encourage their employees to blog, a good chunk of them are skeptical about losing control over this new media. Companies fear that employees may write negative things about them and that ...

The photocatalytic decomposition of 2-, 3and 4-chlorobenzoic acids (2CB, 3CB and 4CB, respectively) with TiO2 loaded on HZSM-11 zeolite was investigated. The optimum decomposition rate of 2CB was obtained with TiO2/HZSM-11(30%) (TiO2 30 wt.%) catalyst at a concentration of 1 mg mL. 2CB and 3CB decompose at similar rates, but 4CB remains adsorbed on TiO2/HZSM-11(30%) without further degradation....

Dowex-50W-hyodrgen ion exchange resin was used as a reusable catalyst for the synthesis of oxazoline, imidazoline and thiazoline derivatives through condensation reaction between arylnitriles and 2-aminoalcohol, ethylenediamine or 2-aminoethanthiol. This process provides several advantages such as excellent yields of the products, simple operation, convenient separation and inexpensive and recy...

This paper first describes an empirical model to characterize the deactivation of a catalyst used in the production of a specialty chemical based on actual plant data. This model is then used in a novel multiperiod MINLP optimization formulation that incorporates the empirical model in order to determine the optimal catalyst replacement policy and meet time varying product demand.
