A new method for the synthesis of the indolocarbazole alkaloid arcyriaflavin A is described. The synthetic strategy employs a graphite-catalysed alkenation, one-pot oxidation-Wittig reaction, iodine-catalysed electrocyclisation ...

The oxidative cleavage of the C-N bond of aryl and heteroaryl (dimethylamino)methyl groups is achieved by employing molecular iodine as a mild oxidizing agent under ambient conditions in the presence of a mild base. The ...

Although molybdenum(VI) dichloride dioxide (MoO2Cl2) has been known for a long time, [1] it is still exploited as a catalyst for versatile organic transformations. [2] It is an oxo-transfer catalyst, displaying its ability ...

The development of effective and low-cost catalysts for the hydrogenation and stabilization of bio-oils is still a challenge to overcome. Several nanostructured WO3 catalysts were synthesized in this study to investigate ...

We report the synthesis of a naphthalene diimide bolaamphiphile (NDI-1) bearing the peptide segment of Tyr-Glu and studied self-assembly through solvophobic control. NDI-1 is shown to self-assemble into a flower-like ...

This chapter focuses on the potential use of nanocontainers for environmental application, namely, for water treatment, gas sensing, and conservation of art. Although nanocontainers have numerous applications, its utility ...

The investigation under study deals with the combustion synthesis of nanocrystalline Mg substituted Nickel Zinc Ferrites i.e., MgxNi0.6-xZn0.4Fe2O4 (x = 0.0 to 0.6) using malic acid dihydrazide as novel fuel and the effect ...

Soot is a major anthropogenic air pollutant that affects human health and contributes to global warming. To understand its formation pathways and reduce emission, several flame and engine studies exist in the literature, ...

Manganese and Nickel doped Zinc Ferrite powder (Mn0.3 Ni0.3 Zn0.4 Fe2O4) was synthesized by autocatalytic thermal decomposition technique. The average crystallite size in the material powder was found to be of 10-13 nm. ...

Herein we present an in-depth study of precursor derived tungsten sulfides, with a focus on their micro- and local structures. We prepared a new tetrathiotungstate based precursor (N sub(2) H sub(5))sub(2)WS sub(4) and ...
