Aqueous-phase hydrogenation of alkenes and arenes: The growing role of nano scale catalysts

Paul Joseph Dyson, Zhaofu Fei, Ning Yan, Sviatlana Siankevich, Safak Bulut

In this article we highlight some of the recent developments in the aqueous-phase hydrogenation of alkenes and arenes. The traditional types of water-soluble catalysts applied in aqueous media are outlined together with recent trends towards the developmen ...

Massively parallel molecular dynamics simulation of formation of clathrate-hydrate precursors at planar water-methane interfaces: Insights into heterogeneous nucleation

Simone Meloni

The formation of methane-hydrate precursors at large planar water-methane interfaces has been studied using massively parallel molecular dynamics in systems of varying size from around 10 000 to almost 7 x 10(6) molecules. This process took two distinct st ...

Pd(0)-Catalyzed Alkene Oxy- and Aminoalkynylation with Aliphatic Bromoacetylenes

Jérôme Waser, Stefano Nicolai, Raha Sedigh-Zadeh

Tetrahydrofurans and pyrrolidines are among the most important heterocycles found in bioactive compounds. Cyclization-functionalization domino reactions of alcohols or amines onto olefins,constitute one of the most efficient methods to access them. In this ...

Morphological investigation of polylactide/microfibrillated cellulose composites

Pierre-Etienne Bourban, John Christopher Plummer, Carole Boissard

Optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy have been used to investigate the morphology of polylactide (PLA)/microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) composites prepared by: compression molding of wet-comingled MFC and PLA latex or powder, twin-screw ...

The synthesis of the alkoxide [OC(tBu)(CF3)2]− by the reaction of tBuM-reagents (M = Li; MgX) with hexafluoroacetone was attempted. This alkoxide was anticipated to be a good building block for novel weakly coordinating anions. However, in all attempted sy ...
