Highly efficient conversion of crude Jatropha oil to biodiesel was realized under mild conditions via a synergistic catalytic system consisting of acid (MICPHPW) and base (MICPOH) catalysts using a ‘one-pot, two-step’ strategy.
An efficient bimetallic ZnO/Co@N-CNT catalyst was designed for selective hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation of lignin and its derived components in water.
A highly efficient, catalyst-free and one-pot procedure for the direct synthesis of amides from aldehydes and amines under mild conditions has been developed.
We describe the selective hydrogenation of furfural (FAL) into tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) under mild conditions (30 °C) in aqueous media using a Rh-loaded carbon (Rh/C) catalyst in a one-pot fashion.
The water-soluble Pd nanoparticles are highly-efficient catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanone in water under mild conditions.
Here we developed a highly efficient solvent-free, one-pot procedure for synthesizing α-ketoamides from ethylarenes and amines, by oxidizing a C–H bond sp3 center.
