Adhesion of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer onto galvanized steel

When a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) is applied onto galvanized steel by a hot melt process, the subsequent adhesion and its durability are very sensitive to the chemical bonds created at the interface. The effects of several surface treatment ...

Why are (NN2)Ni pincer complexes active for alkyl-alkyl coupling: ß-H elimination is kinetically accessible but thermodynamically uphill

Rosario Scopelliti, Xile Hu, Oleg Vechorkin, Jan Breitenfeld

Isomerization and olefin exchange experiments show that β-H elimination is kinetically viable but thermodynamically unfavorable in [(MeNN2)Ni-alkyl] complexes. The intermediacy of Ni-hydride species was corroborated by a trapping experiment. The alkyl comp ...

Hydrogen storage and delivery: immobilization of a highly active homogeneous catalyst for the decomposition of formic acid to hydrogen and carbon dioxide

Paul Joseph Dyson, Gabor Laurenczy, Weijia Gan

The homogeneous catalytic system, based on water-soluble ruthenium(II)– TPPTS catalyst (TPPTS = meta-trisulfonated triphenylphosphine), selectively decomposes HCOOH into H2 and CO2 in aqueous solution. Although this reaction results in only two gas product ...

A Post-Modification Strategy for the Synthesis of Uniform, Hydrophilic/Hydrophobic Patterned α-Hydroxy Acid Oligomers

Harm-Anton Klok, Laure Menin, Nadja Franz

Hydrophilic/hydrophobic patterning is a well-established design strategy to guide secondary structure formation of both natural as well as non-natural oligomers and polymers. This contribution explores the feasibility of a new approach for the synthesis of ...

Chemoselective C-H Bond Activation: Ligand and Solvent Free Iron-Catalyzed Oxidative C-C Cross-Coupling of Tertiary Amines with Terminal Alkynes. Reaction Scope and Mechanism

Pierre Vogel, Chandra Mouleeswara Rao Volla

FeCl2 catalyzes the oxidative C-C cross-coupling of tertiary amines with terminal alkynes into propargylamines using (t-BuO)2 as oxidant. The reaction can be applied to aromatic and aliphatic amines and alkynes without solvent. High chemoselectivity for am ...

Discovery of 6alpha-Ethyl-23(S)-methylcholic Acid (S-EMCA, INT-777) as a Potent and Selective Agonist for the TGR5 Receptor, a Novel Target for Diabesity

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

In the framework of the design and development of TGR5 agonists, we reported that the introduction of a C(23)(S)-methyl group in the side chain of bile acids such as chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) and 6-ethylchenodeoxycholic acid (6-ECDCA, INT-747) affords s ...
