The stereoselective reduction of imines with trichlorosilane catalyzed by chiral Lewis bases is a well-established procedure for the synthesis of enantio-enriched amines. Five supported cinchona-based picolinamides have been prepared and their activity tested in a model reaction. The comparison of different supporting materials revealed that polystyrene gave better results than silica in terms ...

a convenient, one-pot method for the synthesis of diazonium salt has been developed by the sequential diazotization of aromatic amines with nano2, polymer- supported periodic acid (ppia) and 2-naphthole under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. by using this method, several types of aromatic amine, containing electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups, were rapidly converted to ...

The dinuclear complex Cp*2Os2Br4 (Cp* ) pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) and related mono(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)osmium compounds are catalysts for the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of norbornene. The most active catalyst prepared to date is made by treatment of Cp*2Os2Br4 with methylaluminoxane. This catalyst polymerizes norbornene with yields up to 167 kg of polymer per mol o...

Due to the feasibility of ethanol production in the United States, ethanol has become more attractive as a fuel source and a possible energy carrier within the hydrogen economy. Ethanol can be stored easily in liquid form, and can be internally pre-formed prior to usage in low temperature (200 o C – 400 o C) solid acid and polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. However, complete electrochemic...

sio2-supported silyl chromate catalyst is an important industrial catalyst for production of high grade hdpepipe materials. the control of the short chain branch (scb) distribution using this catalyst system is still a greatchallenge. in this work, ethylene and 1-hexene copolymers were synthesized using sio2-supported silyl chromatecatalyst combined with triisobutylaluminium (tiba), triethylalu...

p2o5-sio2 (30% w/w) was found to be a useful catalyst for the synthesis of various 2-substituted aryl benzimidazoles under solvent-less and in solvent conditions from o-phenylenediamine and aldehydes. the products were directly recrystallized from methanol.
