In1938, whileOttoRoelenwasstudyingtheFischer-Tropsch reaction, which converts H2/CO
into alkanes and alkenes, and was trying to improve the yields by recycling ethylene, the …

Organocobalt compounds in organic synthesis have three characteristic reactions. The first
occurs because cobalt has a high affinity to carbon–carbon π‐bonds or carbon–nitrogen π …

In this perspective, a personal journey from solvent to solvent is presented to demonstrate
how environmentally friendly solvents can be part of the solution of various chemical …

Hydrocarbonylation of conjugated dienes is one of the most promising yet challenging
methods for the synthesis of carbonyl compounds. Herein, we reported the development of …

Herein, we presented a novel approach involving molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2) promoted
in-situ generation of active cobalt catalyst for alkoxycarbonylation reaction, an industrial …

A novel cobalt-catalysed hydroformylation of epoxides to β-hydroxyaldehydes was
developed. Compared to previous works this methodology proceeds under significantly …

The base-assisted Pd (cod) Cl 2/Xantphos-catalyzed methoxycarbonylation of 1, 3-
butadiene (BD) to methyl-3-pentenoate (MP) was explored. Mechanistic studies suggest the …

The mechanism of the addition of acetylacetone to β-nitrostyrene catalyzed by a cinchona
based squaramide catalyst was studied in detail under synthetically relevant conditions. The …

By grafting nitrogen-containing complexes onto ZSM-5 mesoporous material and then
supporting a cobalt catalyst in situ, the methoxycarbonylation of diisobutylene (DIB) was …

This study proves that the non-food dedicated sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) can be a
possible source and/or raw material of platform molecules such as levulinic acid (LA) and 5 …
