The synergistic actions between an inexpensive bulk Ni–Sn(1.5) alloy, hydrogen gas, and an ethanol/H2O solvent mixture selectively assisted the one pot conversion of C5-furan compounds to 1,4-pentanediol with outstanding yields up to 92%.
This paper reports the selective conversion of alkyl azido groups at the carbonyl α-position into oximes, and one-pot triple click conjugation is demonstrated.
A novel one-pot approach selects a hydrothermally synthesized Cu/SiO2 catalyst (consisting of Cu2O·SiO2 and Cu0 surface species) to convert of coconut oil to fatty alcohols at 240 °C in methanol without hydrogen, attaining 85% conversion and 100% selectivity.
