The search of new energy sources has motivated during the last few years numerous research projects due to environmental, economical and political reasons. One of the main subjects of these works is the development of fuel cells. Within this framework the ...
The first ene reactions of SO2 and unfunctionalized alkenes are reported. Calculations suggest that the endergonic ene reactions of SO2 with alkenes can be used to generate beta,gamma-unsaturated sulfinyl and sulfonyl compounds. Indeed, in the presence of ...
A series of ruthenium(II) N-heterocyclic carbene chelate complexes were prepd. by using bidentate chelating alkene-carbene, thioether-carbene, carboxylate-carbene and bis-carbene ligands. Metalation of 1-R-3-X-imidazolium salts (1-3, R = Me, X = allyl, MeS ...
The distributions of organic additives in self-leveling flooring compounds (SLCs) were investigated using laser-scanning microscopy for the selective visualization of the additives, which had been previously stained by a fluorescent dye. The distributions ...
A review; microstructured reactors are mainly characterized by their very-high surface to vol. ratio compared to traditional chem. reactors. Multichannel microreactors having channel diams. in the order of ten to several hundred micrometers have sp. surfac ...
By treatment with Br2CF2 and Ph3P, 4 unfunctionalized olefins, 4 enol ethers and 1 bis-enol ether were converted to gem-difluorocyclopropanes. Thus, RCH:CHOPr (R = H, Me) gave difluorocyclopanes I in 73 and 83% yield, resp. The yields were considerably inc ...
Methanol dehydrogenation to formaldehyde was operated in a continuous fixed-bed reactor with external recycling in the presence of sodium carbonate catalyst supported on active carbon. Due to the importance of gas phase decompns. of methanol and mainly for ...
Catalysts based on alkali compds. were active in the dehydrogenation of MeOH in absence of O. Na2CO3 doped with In showed a selectivity of ?75% for MeOH conversion ?60%. [on SciFinder (R)] ...
Sodium salts such as Na2CO3 and Na molybdate are active and selective MeOH dehydrogenation catalysts for the prodn. of water-free HCHO. Profound chem. and structural changes are experienced by the molybdate when employed under normal reaction conditions (5 ...
