Vegetable biomass is generated from CO2 and H2O using sunlight as the energy source,
producing O2 as a subproduct. The primary products formed are C6-and C5-sugars that …

The search for alternative cleaner, safer, and environmentally friendly technologies is one of
the priorities in chemistry. With this objective, the reduction of wastes together with the use of …

An optimized procedure was designed for the preparation of the microporous metal–organic
framework (MOF)[Cu3 (btc) 2](BTC= benzene‐1, 3, 5‐tricarboxylate). The crystalline material …

Heterogeneous acid catalysis by heteropoly acids (HPAs) has the potential for substantial
economic and green benefits. The aim of this chapter is to discuss the perspectives of acid …

Heterogeneous acid catalysis by heteropoly acids (HPAs) has the potential of great
economic rewards and green benefits. Its application, however, has been limited to some …

Citronellal (3, 7-dimethyl-6-octenal, 1, Fig. 1) is a monoterpene, predominantly formed by the
secondary metabolism of plants. It is typically isolated as a non-racemic mixture of its R and …

One-pot continuous synthesis of menthols both from citronellal and citral was investigated
over 5 wt% Ni supported on H-Beta-38-sepiolite composite catalyst at 60–70° C under 10 …

(H2O)} 2 (μ-OH) 2]· 18H2O (Zr2, monoclinic, C 2/c (No. 15), a= 25.3315 (8) Å, b= 22.6699 (7) …

A novel dialuminum-substituted silicotungstate TBA3H [γ-SiW10O36 {Al (OH2)} 2 (μ-OH) 2]·
4H2O (1, TBA= tetra-n-butylammonium) was synthesized by the reaction of the potassium …

Abstract Industrial (−)-menthol production generally relies on the hydrogenation of (−)-
isopulegol, which is in turn produced with high selectivity by cyclization of (+)-citronellal. This …
