In this study, volatile compounds were analyzed in five samples of home-made spirit beverage made by the distillation of fermented fruits of cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.). The major volatile compounds, besides ethanol, identified and quantified were: methanol, acetaldehyde, 1-propanol, ethyl acetate, 2-methyl-1-propanol, 1-butanol, amyl alcohols, 1-hexanol and 2-phenylethanol. The minor vola...

The aerobic oxidation of 1-phenylethanol over a carbon nanotube supported palladium catalyst was improved with an ionic liquid additive [emim][NTf(2)], showing an excellent TON of 149,000 which can be maintained for 5 recycle runs.
