An efficient, simple and convenient route is described for the synthesis of biscoumarin (3,3'-(arylmethylene) bis (4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one)) by using of recyclable catalyst TiO2@KSF. In this Method, we synthesis biscoumarin derivatives via 3multi-component reactions (3MCRs) of two equivalent 4-hydroxycoumarin with one equivalent of aromatic aldehydes using 20 mg nano TiO2@KSF as homogeneous ...

Biodiesel, produced by the transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fats with methanol, is a promising alternative diesel fuel. In this study, a series of strong base anion resins with different basicity, pore structure, degree of cross-linking, and particle size were investigated as heterogeneous catalysts for the transesterification of soybean oil with methanol. A trace amount of CH3ON...

Papain, modified at Cys-25 with a monodentate phosphite ligand and complexed with Rh(COD)2BF4, is an active catalyst in the hydrogenation of methyl 2-acetamidoacrylate.

The light-assisted co-generation of carbon monoxide and hydrogen from carbon dioxide and water is reported. The combination of a homogeneous CO-evolving electrocatalyst and a heterogeneous H(2)-evolving photoelectrode surface provides for tunability of the H(2)/CO ratio. A total Faradaic efficiency of 102 ± 5% and a H(2)/CO ratio of 2:1 were achieved at a low homogeneous catalyst concentration ...

Improved electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are critical for the advancement of fuel cell technologies. Herein, we report a series of 11 soluble iron porphyrin ORR electrocatalysts that possess turnover frequencies (TOFs) from 3 s-1 to an unprecedented value of 2.2 × 106 s-1. These TOFs correlate with the ORR overpotential, which can be modulated by changing the E1/2 of th...

There is a widespread interest in developing methods to recover homogeneous catalysts, particularly chiral catalysts, from a reaction mixture. The impetus to recover and reuse homogeneous catalysts stems not only from an economic standpoint but also from the need to eliminate contamination of the transition metal catalyst in the product and in the waste streams. The challenge is to recover the ...

A series of MnOx-CeO₂ and MnOx-TiO₂ catalysts were prepared by a homogeneous precipitation method and their catalytic activities for the NO oxidation in the absence or presence of SO₂ were evaluated. Results show that the optimal molar ratio of Mn/Ce and Mn/Ti are 0.7 and 0.5, respectively. The MnOx-CeO₂ catalyst exhibits higher catalytic activity and better resistance to SO₂ poisoning than the...
