Herein we describle a facile synthesis of sulphonic acid oxime esters in acetonitrile from the corresponding sulphonic acids and oximes catalyzed by the environmental friendly 2-(1H-benzotriazole-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TBTU) in the presence of triethylamine (TEA) under mild conditions. The present approach offers the advantages of a clean reaction, simple methodology, employing readily available catalyst, short reaction duration, high selectivity and high yield.

We have described simple, high-yield, protocols, which require only commonly accessible equipment, to synthesize a wide range of β-CD derivatives mono-substituted at the secondary face. These derivatives may be useful in their own right, and they are also scaffolds for further modification, and examples of the far broader array of derivatives that may be accessed by these procedures.

AbstractThe regioselective 1,4-conjugate aza-Michael addition of dienones with benzotriazole catalyzed by potassium acetate is described. A series of 3-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,5-diarylpent-4-en-1-ones were efficiently synthesized under mild conditions. This protocol has advantages of transition-metal free catalyst, high yield and high regioselectivity.

Carboncones, a special family of all-carbon allotropes, are predicted to have unique properties that distinguish them from fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphenes. Owing to the absence of methods to synthesize atomically well-defined carboncones, however, experimental insight into the nature of pure carboncones has been inaccessible. Herein, we describe a facile synthesis of an atomically well-defined carboncone[1,2] (C70H20) and its soluble penta-mesityl derivative. Identified by x-ray crystallography, the carbon skeleton is a carboncone with the largest possible apex angle. Much of the structural strain is overcome in the final step of converting the bowl-shaped precursor into the rigid carboncone under mild reaction conditions. This work provides a research opportunity for investigations of atomically precise single-layered carboncones having even higher cone walls and/or smaller apex angles.

Coal tar pitch (CTP), a by-product of coking industry, has a unique molecule structure comprising an aromatic nucleus and several side chains bonding on this graphene-like nucleus, which is very similar to the structure of graphene quantum dots (GQDs). Based on this perception, we develop a facile approach to convert CTP to GQDs only by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide under mild conditions. One to three graphene layers, monodisperse GQDs with a narrow size distribution of 1.7 ± 0.4 nm, are obtained at high yield (more than 80 wt. %) from CTP. The as-produced GQDs are highly soluble and strongly fluorescent in aqueous solution. This simple strategy provides a feasible route towards the commercial synthesis of GQDs for its cheap material source, green reagent, mild condition, and high yield.

<a></a><a>Herein, we report the catalytic use of multifunctional CuO nanoparticles (NPs) to oxidatively fractionate lignocellulosic feedstock with dioxygen in aqueous NaOH under mild conditions . In presence of CuO NPs, lignocellulose is fractionated into three parts, overall yielding 90% carbon efficiency. Lignin is converted to up to 45.6 wt% in organic soluble aromatic aldehyde monomers, rich in vanillin and syringaldehyde, the value surpassing the theoretical one based on b-O-4 bond content, indicating significant cleavage of other ether bonds. All hemicellulose is selectively converted into water soluble small (di)acids, mainly to oxalic acid. Up to 81% of cellulose, in contrast, is obtained as a white crystalline residue with high cellulose purity (over 95%), which can readily be transformed into high quality nanocellulose, useful in many applications.</a>
