Among the bases of DNA, guanine is the most easily oxidized. Imidazolone (Iz) is a guanine oxidative damage, and we sought to generate Iz-containing oligomers. In this paper, we describe the methods and conditions to increase the yield of Iz by emplo...
One-pot reactions offer advantages like easy automation, higher product yields, minimal waste generation, operational simplicity, and thus reduced cost, time and energy. This review presents a comprehensive overview of one-pot reactions including tri...
Recent studies have shown that chlorophyll sensitization can improve the performance of semiconductors like TiO2 in photocatalytic reactions and light-harvesting technologies, such as solar cells. Faced with the search for renewable energy sources an...
Epoxy thermosets need to be designed for simple recycling and biomass resource utilization in order to be fully sustainable building materials. The development of covalent adaptive networks (CANs) using adaptive covalent chemistry (ACC) may be helpfu...
N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide (commonly named paracetamol or acetaminophen) is a target molecules for many industries that produce chemicals for pharmaceutical applications. The industrial processes, however, use multistep procedures with low overall...
Epithelial tissue regeneration may be favored if the tissue receives both therapeutic agents such as recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) and, simultaneously, antibacterial materials capable of reducing the risk of infections. Herein, we...
A simple proportional integral (PI) controller with scheduled gain has been developed and implemented in a catalytic membrane reactor (CMR) to obtain pure hydrogen from a methanol steam reforming process. The controller is designed to track the setpo...
The aim of the present research is to investigate the effect of different operation variables in the hydrogenolysis of glycerol to 1-propanol and to develop a simple kinetic model useful for the design of the reactor. For this purpose, a carbon-based...
Alkyl levulinates are promising and versatile biomass-derived chemicals, which are utilized as fuel additives, flavoring agents, fragrances, solvents, and precursors for synthesizing valuable γ-valerolactone. A method for synthesizing alkyl lev...
Organotitanium compounds find application in diverse reactions, including carbon–carbon bond formation and oxidation. While titanium (IV) compounds have been used in various applications, the potential of bis(cyclopentadienyl)diaryltitanium in...
With the development of microfluidics, there are increasing reports of syntheses using not only conventional laminar flow at the microscale, but also the dissociation and aggregation of microdroplets. It is known, to some extent, that the microfluidi...
LiAlH4 is a potential solid-state H2 storage material, where safe and efficient H2 storage is of critical importance for the transition towards a sustainable emission-free economy. To improve the H2 release and storage properties of LiAlH4, confineme...
Biomass allows us to obtain energy and high-value-added compounds through the use of different physical and chemical processes. The glycerol obtained as a by-product in the synthesis of biodiesel is considered a biomass compound that has the potentia...
Phytoremediation has been considered a sustainable environmental technology for heavy metals decontamination. In this work, we evaluated the metal contents by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) of three plant species c...
