Simultaneous Generation of Methyl Esters and CO in Lignin Transformation

Paul Joseph Dyson, Mingyang Liu

Lignin is an abundant renewable carbon source. Due to its complex structure, utilization of lignin is very challenging. Herein, we describe an efficient strategy for the simultaneous utilization of lignin, in which the methoxy groups in lignin react with c ...

Halide removal from aqueous solution by novel silver-polymeric materials

Urs von Gunten

The objective of this study was to analyze the behavior of a new material, silver-doped polymeric cloth (Ag-cloth), in the removal of bromide and iodide from waters. Silver is immobilized on the cloth, guaranteeing selective adsorption of the halide ions a ...

Functional, Hyperbranched Polyesters Via Baylis-Hillman Polymerization

Harm-Anton Klok, Frederik Roman Wurm, Sanhao Ji

Hyperbranched polyesters are among the most common hyperbranched polymers. One of the interesting features of hyperbranched polyesters is that they contain unreacted hydroxyl and carboxylic acid groups at the linear and terminal structural units, which can ...

Dual role of isocitrate lyase 1 in the glyoxylate and methylcitrate cycles in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

John McKinney

The role of isocitrate lyase (ICL) in the glyoxylate cycle and its necessity for persistence and virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been well described. Recent reports have alluded to an additional role for this enzyme in M. tuberculosis metabolis ...

Development of a new carbon-carbon bond forming reaction. New organic chemistry of sulfur dioxide. Asymmetric four-component synthesis of polyfunctional sulfones

Pierre Vogel, Kurt Schenk

At low temperature 1-alkoxy-1,3-dienes add to sulfur dioxide activated by a Lewis or Bronstedt acid and generate zwitterionic intermediates that can be quenched by enoxysilanes. The resulting beta,gamma -unsaturated silyl sulfinates can be desilylated and ...
