The growing accumulation of waste lubricating oil presents serious environmental issues, calling for sustainable management solutions. This research discusses the creation of FeNi/TiO₂ nanocatalysts that were synthesized through an eco-friendly metho...

Nerol ((Z)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-ol), (C₁₀H₁₈O), is a monoterpene alcohol that belongs to the family of BVOCs emitted naturally by means of vegetation and is found in various medicinal plants. This species attracted attention in the field of at...

Two new long-chain N-alkyl imidazole derivatives, 2-(1-octadecyl-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine and 2-(furan-2-yl)-1-(octadecane-1-yl)-1H-imidazole, were synthesized via the Radziszewski reaction followed by N-alkylation. This is the first report of furan-im...

Strategic scaffolds in molecules increase the possibility of obtaining derivatives with potential uses in scientific and industrial areas. The regio- and stereoselective reactions can be considered to gain these tactical motifs. Natural diterpenes ar...

The NAD⁺-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase AdhB from Aromatoleum aromaticum EbN1 belongs to family III of Fe-dependent alcohol dehydrogenases. It was recombinantly produced in Escherichia coli and biochemically characterized, showing activity only with...

Carbon dioxide is naturally present in the Earth’s atmosphere and plays a role in regulating and balancing the planet’s temperature. However, due to various human activities, the amount of carbon dioxide is increasing beyond safe limits,...

The nitrogen electroreduction reaction (NRR) has emerged as a promising and sustainable alternative to the Haber–Bosch process for NH₃ production. This study investigated the NRR in alkaline medium using Pd/C, Rh/C, and PdRh/C electrocatalysts,...

Cycloadditions are among the most efficient chemical processes because they combine atom economy and high levels of selectivity—particularly regio- and stereoselectivity—with the ability to generate molecular complexity in a single step [...

A new series of 6-arylaminoflavones was synthesized via the Buchwald–Hartwig cross-coupling reaction, aiming to functionalize the flavone core efficiently. Reaction optimization revealed that Pd₂(dba)₃/XantPhos with Cs₂CO₃ in toluene provided t...

Polycyclic aromatic compounds can often be made by a sequence featuring an initial Diels–Alder [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction, followed by cheletropic extrusion of carbon monoxide. These reactions normally require heating the diene and dieneoph...

Aluminothermic reduction is an alternative processing route for the circular economy because Al is produced electrochemically in the Hall–Héroult process with minimal CO₂ emissions if the electricity input is sourced from non-fossil fuel...

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have emerged as a promising technology for converting sunlight into electricity at a low cost; however, it is still necessary to find a photostable, low-cost, and efficient photosensitizer. In this sense, the natura...

The disposal of wastewater resulting from petroleum industries presents a major environmental challenge due to the presence of hard-to-degrade organic pollutants, such as oils and hydrocarbons, and high chemical oxygen demand (COD). In this study, an...
