Microwave-Mediated Continuous Hydrogen Abstraction Reaction from 2-PrOH Catalyzed by Platinum on Carbon Bead

We developed a microwave-mediated continuous hydrogen production method from 2-PrOH using platinum on a spherical carbon-bead catalyst. The catalyst cartridge consisted of helical glass part, and straight glass part (helix−straight cartridge) was newly developed for the effective microwave heating of 2-PrOH in the presence of 5% Pt/CB. The microwave resonance was properly adjusted within 2.4−2.5 GHz using the helix−straight cartridge with the glass resonance-adjuster tube. The reaction was conducted by the irradiation of only 10 W of single-frequency microwaves and the catalyst was used continuously for at least 13 h without any loss of catalyst activity.

Glass bead-catalyzed depolymerization of poplar wood lignin into low-molecular-weight products

A kind of non-precious glass bead catalyst was prepared by a subcritical water treatment method for the depolymerisation of poplar lignin.

Facile synthesis of a novel CeO2/glass bead catalyst with enhanced catalytic oxidation performance

A tripodal peptide ligand for asymmetric Rh(ii) catalysis highlights unique features of on-bead catalyst development

A tridentate eq-eq-ax peptide ligand for rhodium(ii) complexes, discovered by high-throughput on-bead screening, is an efficient and selective catalyst for asymmetric cyclopropanation reactions.
