in this study fullerene functionalized using oleum (h2so4·so3), followed by the hydrolysis of the intermediate cyclosulfated fullerene as well as  an oxidizing agent was employed to functionalize the fullerenes. ruthenium was then added by the impregnation method or deposited on the functionalized fullerene. subsequent to this step, response surface methodology (rsm) was used to study the cumul...

Synthesis of ultrafine noble metal with sizes down to nanoscale and even atomic scale is great significance for heterogeneous catalysis. However, the loading usually kept below 2 wt% due aggregation tendency at higher contents. Herein, by mimicking multicentered sulfur cluster metalloenzyme, a bioinspired synthesis isolated atoms on metal-organic sulfide (MOS) framework was reported. The sulfur...

The efficient depolymerization and hydrodeoxygenation of enzymatic hydrolysis lignin are achieved in cyclohexane solvents over a gamma-alumina supported nickel molybdenum alloy catalyst single step. Under initial 3 MPa hydrogen at 320 °C, the highest overall cycloalkane yield 104.4 mg/g with 44.4 wt% selectivity ethyl-cyclohexane was obtained. reaction atmosphere temperature have significant ef...

The cleavage of C−O linkages in aryl ethers biomass-derived lignin compounds without hydrogenation the aromatic rings is a major challenge for production sustainable mono-aromatics. Conventional strategies over heterogeneous metal catalysts require addition homogeneous base additives causing environmental problems. Herein, we propose Ru/C catalyst modified by Br atoms selective direct bonds dip...

A formal total synthesis of (-)-cephalotaxine (1) has been achieved. The key step is an intramolecular aldol condensation of the diketone 9, which in turn was obtained in three steps from the azabicyclic compound 6 derived from D-proline according to Seebach's procedure. Treatment of 9 with a catalytic amount of sodium 2-methyl-2-butanolate in benzene at room temperature gave the alpha, beta-un...

Enzymes are a source of inspiration for chemists attempting to create versatile synthetic catalysts. In order to arrive at a polymeric chain carrying catalytic units separated spatially, it is a prerequisite to fold these polymers in water into well-defined compartmentalized architectures thus creating a catalytic core. Herein, we report the synthesis, physical properties, and catalytic activit...
