Total Synthesis of Aspidosperma Family Indole Alkaloids through the iORC Domino Process
This thesis describes a unified strategy for the synthesis of monoterpene indole alkaloids of the Aspidosperma family. These syntheses feature two key steps: (1) a palladiumcatalyzed decarboxylative vinylation that provides quick access to cyclopentene int ...
EPFL2015Effect of carbon material on Pd catalyst for formic acid electrooxidation reaction
Effect of several usually used carbon materials on Pd catalyst for formic acid electrooxidation reaction is studied by physical characterization and electrochemical measurements. New active sites are formed due to the Pd and carbon interaction which is con ...
Elsevier2014Functionalized Carbon Nanostructures from Oligoyne Carboxylates
Functional nanostructured carbon materials, including two-dimensionally extended nanosheets, offer
intriguing perspectives for applications in emerging technologies such as hydrogen storage, lithium
storage, transition metal free catalysis, or solar abso ...
EPFL2014Synthesis factors affecting the catalytic performance and stability of Ru/C catalysts for supercritical water gasification
Christian Ludwig, Frédéric Vogel, Gaël Peng
Catalytic supercritical water gasification of isopropanol (450 degrees C, 30 MPa) over Ru/C catalysts was carried out in a fixed-bed plug flow reactor. In the absence of Ru, isopropanol decomposed to solid carbon (coke), and H-2 over the carbon support. Th ...
Royal Society of Chemistry2014Sorption kinetics and equilibrium of the herbicide diuron to carbon nanotubes or soot in absence and presence of algae
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are strong sorbents for organic micropollutants, but changing environmental conditions may alter the distribution and bioavailability of the sorbed substances. Therefore, we investigated the effect of green algae (Chlorella vulgaris) ...
Elsevier Sci Ltd2014Solid-state carbon-13 NMR and computational characterization of the N719 ruthenium sensitizer adsorbed on TiO2 nanoparticles
Michael Graetzel, Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Diego Carnevale, Nicola Salvi, Julien Edouard Frey
The ruthenium-containing sensitizing dye N719 grafted on TiO2 nanoparticles was investigated by solidstate NMR. The carbon resonances are assigned by means of 13C cross-polarized dipolar dephasing experiments. DFT calculations of the carbon magnetic shield ...
Royal Society of Chemistry2014Unified Strategy to Monoterpene Indole Alkaloids: Total Syntheses of (±)-Goniomitine, (±)-1,2-Dehydroaspidospermidine, (±)-Aspidospermidine, (±)-Vincadifformine, and (±)-Kopsihainanine A
Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Zhengren Xu, Olivier Wagnières
Total syntheses of (±)-goniomitine, (±)-1,2-dehydroaspidospermidine, (±)-aspidospermidine, (±)-vincadifformine, and (±)-kopsihainanine A were achieved featuring two common key steps: (1) a palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative vinylation that provides quick ...
Amer Chemical Soc2014Identification of the mechanisms responsible for static strain ageing in heavily drawn pearlitic steel wires
Daniele Mari, Aude Marie Agnès Lamontagne
The microstructural changes occurring during drawing and ageing in pearlitic steel wires have been studied using the thermoelectric power (TEP) measurements combined with atom probe tomography (APT) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). APT analysis ...
Taylor & Francis Ltd2014Metal-Free Catalyst for the Chemoselective Methylation of Amines Using Carbon Dioxide as a Carbon Source
Paul Joseph Dyson, Gabor Laurenczy, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Shoubhik Das
N-methylation of amines is an important step in the synthesis of many pharmaceuticals and has been widely applied in the preparation of other key intermediates and chemicals. Therefore, the development of efficient methylation methods has attracted conside ...
Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh2014Efficient reduction of bromates using carbon nanofibre supported catalysts: Experimental and a comparative life cycle assessment study
Structured hierarchical catalysts were developed for efficient reduction of bromates in water. In the catalysts a small amount of active metal, 0.3 wt.% Pd, is supported onto carbon nanofibres grown either on sintered metal fibres or on a carbon cloth. In ...
