Role of Carbonyl Compounds for N-Nitrosamine Formation during Nitrosation: Kinetics and Mechanisms

Urs von Gunten, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Yishuai Pan

N-Nitrosamines are potential human carcinogens frequently detected in natural and engineered aquatic systems. This study sheds light on the role of carbonyl compounds in the formation of N-nitrosamines by nitrosation of five secondary amines via different ...

From defect to effect: controlling electronic transport in chevron graphene nanoribbons

Oleg Yazyev, Kristians Cernevics

While bottom-up synthesis allows for precise control over the properties of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), the use of certain precursor molecules can result in edge defects, such as missing benzene rings that resemble a 'bite'. We investigate the adverse eff ...

Optical properties and photochemical production of hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen after ozonation of dissolved organic matter

Urs von Gunten, Frank Jonathan Leresche

This study focuses on the effects of ozonation on the optical and photochemical properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM). Upon ozonation, a decrease in light absorption properties of DOM was observed concomitantly with a large increase in singlet oxyge ...

Cobalt phosphide nanowires with adjustable iridium, realizing excellent bifunctional activity for acidic water splitting

Yun Tong, Pengzuo Chen

The exploration of highly active bifunctional electrocatalysts for acidic electrochemical water splitting has attracted wide attention due to their importance in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzers. However, existing catalysts normally suffer ...

Anhydrous Conditions Enable the Catalyst-Free Carboxylation of Aromatic Alkynes with CO2 under Mild Conditions

Paul Joseph Dyson, Marinella Mazzanti, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Davide Toniolo

The direct carboxylation of aromatic alkynes with CO2, a cheap and widely available C1 source, is the most attractive method for the synthesis of carboxylic acids. Here we show that direct carboxylation of terminal alkynes can be simply performed in near-q ...

C-Terminal Bioconjugation of Peptides through Photoredox Catalyzed Decarboxylative Alkynylation

Jérôme Waser, Franck Le Vaillant, Marion Marie-Agnès Garreau

We report the first decarboxylative alkynylation of the C-terminus of peptides starting from free carboxylic acids. The reaction is fast, metal-free, and proceeds cleanly to afford alkynylated peptides with a broad tolerance for the C-terminal amino acid. ...

Catalytic Upgrading of Biomass-Derived Carboxylic Acids to Fuels and Chemicals

Jher Hau Yeap

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 ...

Effects of water-soluble organic carbon on aerosol pH

Athanasios Nenes

Water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) is a ubiquitous and significant fraction of fine particulate matter. Despite advances in aerosol thermodynamic equilibrium models, there is limited understanding on the comprehensive impacts of WSOC on aerosol acidity (p ...

Deoxygenative trifluoromethylthiolation of carboxylic acids

Xile Hu, Runze Mao, Srikrishna Bera, Alexis Baptiste Cheseaux

Here we describe a deoxygenative trifluoromethylthiolation method that yields trifluoromethyl thioesters from readily available carboxylic acids. The method is built upon an "umpolung" strategy where triphenylphosphine is used to first activate an electrop ...

1,3-Difunctionalization of Aminocyclopropanes via Dielectrophilic Intermediates

Jérôme Waser, Mingming Wang

We report an oxidative ring-opening strategy to transform acyl, sulfonyl or carbamate protected aminocyclopropanes into 1,3-dielectrophilic carbon intermediates bearing a halide atom (Br, I) and a N,O-acetal. Replacing the alkoxy group of the N,O-acetal ca ...
