Pyrazolium Ionic Liquid Co-catalysts for the Electroreduction of CO2

Paul Joseph Dyson, Dmitry Vasilyev, Erfan Shirzadi

Pyrazolium ionic liquids (Pz ILs) were employed as co-catalysts for electrochemical conversion of CO2 to CO on a silver disk electrode, leading to a significant decrease in the onset potential for the reduction (ca. 500 mV). The electrochemical conversion ...

Mild synthesis of mercaptonitriles from vinyl nitriles and their cyclization reactions

Frank Nüesch, Antonia Neels

Thiol-ene addition of thioacetic acid A is widely used in the synthesis of thiols from vinyl precursors, but so far has not been conducted on non-conjugated vinyl nitriles. The challenge when vinyl nitriles are used is to selectively conduct the thiol-ene ...
