Catalytic Upgrading of Biomass-Derived Carboxylic Acids to Fuels and Chemicals
Our reliance on fossil fuels, which is unsustainable due to dwindling reserves, has led to various environmental issues. Lignocellulosic biomass could serve as a renewable source of carbon and energy for the production of fuels and chemicals. While several ...
EPFL2019Molecular engineering of enamine-based small organic compounds as hole-transporting materials for perovskite solar cells
Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Michael Saliba, Sanghyun Paek, Kyung Taek Cho
The search for new classes of hole transporting materials (HTMs) is a very important task on the way towards commercialization of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In this work, the synthesis and performance in PSCs of new enamine-based HTMs are presented. Th ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2019Synthesis of Substituted Pyridines from Cascade [1 + 5] Cycloaddition of Isonitriles to
A novel strategy for de novo synthesis of pyridines featuring an unprecedented a-addition of aldehyde and enamide to isonitrile as a key step is described. Under mild conditions, a cascade reaction involving Zn(OTf)(2)-promoted [1 + 5] cycloaddition of iso ...
Amer Chemical Soc2013Lithium bromide-promoted three-component synthesis of oxa-bridged tetracyclic tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives
Heating a toluene soln. of an alpha -(isocyano)acetamide deriv., an aldehyde and a 3-(2-aminophenyl)propenoic acid (aniline) deriv. in the presence of lithium bromide at 60 Deg provides an oxa-bridged tetracyclic tetrahydroquinoline in good to excellent yi ...
