An effective and highly selective protocol has been realized for the synthesis of asymmetric
organic carbonates using dimethyl carbonate (DMC) as a reactant and solvent. Herein, the …

Basic sites are important to promote carbonyl sulfide (COS) and carbon disulfide (CS 2)
hydrolysis activity while improving the oxidation resistance of hydrolysis catalysts is a …

Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) were produced by transesterification of vegetable oil
triglycerides, using a cheap, available, and strongly basic catalyst: NaAlO2 (sodium …

The use of supported metal-based heterogeneous catalysts is very ubiquitous in the modern
chemical industry. Although high reactivity has been achieved, conventional supported …

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is the most effective photocatalysts for low-cost degradation of
organic pollutant; however, the wide band gap and the high recombination rate of the …

Strongly basic sodium aluminate (NaAlO 2) was supported on titanium dioxide, γ-alumina,
and hydrotalcite by impregnation. The resulting catalysts showed improved specific activity …

In this work, we explored a scale-up procedure to non-commercially available or expensive
dialkyl carbonates via transcarbonylation reaction of an alcohol with dimethyl carbonate …

Ursolic acid is a triterpene plant extract that exhibits significant potential as an anti-cancer,
anti-tumour, and anti-inflammatory agent. Its direct use in the pharmaceutical industry is …

The different acid-modified MIL-101 (Cr) MOF materials have been exploited for the Lewis
acid-catalyzed carboxymethylation (CM) of bio-alcohols to asymmetric organic carbonates …

An organocatalytic continuous flow process is presented for the preparation of non-
symmetric benzyl carbonate derivatives. The procedure relies on dimethyl carbonate as a …
