The 3 wt% CuI/BNNS catalyst exhibited high efficiency for C–H difluoromethylation reactions and enabled greener synthesis at high yields using cyrene as a solvent. Furthermore, the catalyst could be easily recovered and recycled for at least five cycles.

Boron nitride nanosheets (BNN) were prepared by molten hydroxide-assisted liquid exfoliation from hexagonal boron nitride powder with an effectively high yield, and then modified with hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCP) to obtain HCCP-BNN. The series of samples were applied to prepare flame-retardant cotton fabrics with the impregnation-drying method, and successful treatment was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. The combustion performance of the as-prepared cotton fabrics was tested and evaluated. After coating with HCCP-BNN, the combustion rate of the fabric is reduced in vertical and horizontal combustion conditions and the limiting oxygen-index value of cotton fabric increases to 24.1, becoming less flammable than the blank cotton. The fibrous structure of the BNN and HCCP-BNN coated fabrics is relatively complete after combustion, which indicates that BNN have a certain protective effect on the fabric. The results demonstrate HCCP-BNN as an effective flame-retardant for cotton fabrics.

An easily accessible ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM][PF6]) was synthesized, and characterized using 1H and 13C NMR, and MS. The ionic liquid was demonstrated to be an efficient green solvent for the synthesis of pravadoline, one of non-steroidal drugs. High yield was achieved without the presence of an anhydrous Lewis acid catalyst. The reaction was also successfully carried out using other imidazolium-based ionic liquids, including 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([HMIM][PF6]), and 1-octyl-3- methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([OMIM][PF6]). To our best knowledge, this is the first report in Viet Nam on the synthesis of a pharmaceutical chemical in ionic liquids as green solvents.

Hexaalkylguanidinium-based room-temperature ionic liquids were investigated as solvents for the cyclopropanation of styrene with diazoacetates catalyzed by Rh2(OAc)4 or [Ru2(μ-OAc)2(CO)4]n. While the yields of the formed cyclopropanes are much lower compared to the reactions performed in dichloromethane, the diastereomeric ratio is not significantly affected by the change of the reaction medium. Immobilization of the catalysts is only partially successful. In contrast to this intermolecular reaction, the Ru-catalyzed formation of a β -lactam by an intramolecular carbenoid C-H insertion of an α-methoxycarbonyl-α-diazoacetamide occurs in high yield, similar to the Rh2(OAc)4-catalyzed reaction. The cis → trans isomerization of the resulting 1-tert-butyl-3-methoxycarbonyl-4-phenylazetidin- 2-one is accelerated in the ionic liquid N,N-dibutyl-N’ ,N’-diethyl-N’,N’-dihexylguanidinium triflate.

A requirement for exploiting most of the unique properties of boron-nitride (BN) nanosheets is their isolation from the bulk material.
