This study focuses on the synthetic approach influence in morphostructural features and catalytic performances for Ni/CeO₂ catalysts. Incipient wetness impregnation, coprecipitation and nitrate combustion were studied as catalyst preparation approach...

A new three-component condensation of β-ketonitriles, 4-fluorobenzaldehyde, and secondary cyclic amines was developed. A possible reaction mechanism has been proposed including Knoevenagel condensation followed by aromatic nucleophilic substitut...

A systematic study of the Diels–Alder reaction of α-nitrocinnamate was performed. The reaction of p-substituted α-nitrocinnamate with 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadienes smoothly proceeded regardless of the p-substituent, which was either a...

Anisole is a straw-colored aromatic compound mainly used in making solvents, flavoring agents, perfumes, fuel additives, and in the synthesis industries. Anisole, also known as methoxybenzene, is synthesized from sodium phenoxide or phenol using vari...

Studies of the processes of the hydrolytic oxidation of disaccharides are the first step towards the development of technologies for the direct conversion of plant polysaccharides, primarily cellulose, into aldonic and aldaric acids, which are widely...

A method is presented to study the decomposition of urea deposited on Cu/HZSM-5 SCR catalysts and therewith the ability of the Cu/HZSM-5 SCR catalyst to be regenerated when being overdosed with SCR urea fluids during operation. This straightforward l...

Bio-oils produced from three different biomass sources, namely cork, pinewood, and olive stones, are evaluated concerning their suitability and prospects of including their electrochemical transformations in a biorefinery scenario for the production...

Alkene epoxidation with TBHP as an oxidising reagent using heterogeneous Mo(VI) catalyst is an environmentally friendly process since it eliminates acid waste and chlorinated by-products often associated with the conventional industrial method that u...

Continuous flow calorimeters are a promising tool in process development and safety engineering, particularly for flow chemistry applications. An isoperibolic flow calorimeter is presented for the characterization of exothermic reactions. The calorim...

A simple, metal-free, cost-effective, and eco-friendly protocol for the preparation of trisubstituted 1,3,5 triazine from metformin using benzotriazole chemistry is reported. Short reaction time, large-scale synthesis, easy and quick isolation of the...

Liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) are an interesting alternative for hydrogen storage as the method is based on the reversibility of hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions to produce liquid and safe components at room temperature. As hydr...
