Complexes of porphyrins and of other similar tetrapyrrolic macrocycles are extensively explored as catalysts for different chemical processes, and the development of solid catalysts for heterogeneous processes using molecules with the ability to act as multifunctional catalysts in one-pot reactions is increasing and can lead to the wider use of this class of molecules as catalysts. This mini review focuses on the application of this class of complexes as catalysts in a variety of sequential one-pot reactions.

Lactic acid (LA), one of the important biomass derived platform chemicals, has been used in food and chemical industries, especially in biodegradable polymer as polylactic acid (PLA). The aim of this work is to study the one-pot production of LA from cellulose by using different solid catalysts. The reaction was conducted in a high pressure batch reactor and the catalyst used in this study were ZrO2 and Al2O3. The reaction was carried out at temperature of 200oC for 6 hr. and under nitrogen pressure of 1 MP. It was found that the production yield of LA were 8.02% and 6.63%, when the ZrO2 and Al2O3 catalysts were used respectively. The result indicated that the ZrO2 may effect on the LA production because of the acid and base sites of the ZrO2. Therefore, the reaction pathways for conversion of cellulose into lactic acid have been investigated, and developed the new conditions to achieve the higher yield.

This article describes recent advances in the cyclohydrocarbonylation reactions catalyzed by transition-metal complexes and their applications in organic synthesis as a review covering the relevant literature up to the middle of 2004. The reactions are categorized into four types, i.e., intramolecular amidocarbonylation reactions, intramolecular aminocarbonylation reactions, cyclohydrocarbonylation reactions involving carbon–nucleophiles, and other cyclohydrocarbonylation reactions. Cyclohydrocarbonylation reactions provide efficient routes to various monocyclic, bicyclic, and polycyclic compounds as a one-step cascade process or a one-pot process. Reaction mechanisms for these cascade processes are discussed as needed for clarification. The heterocyclic and carbocyclic compounds, thus obtained, can be further transformed to specific targets. Examples of such applications are also discussed.Key words: catalysis, cyclohydrocarbonylation, hydroformylation, amidocarbonylation, cyclization, regioselectivity, aldehydes, regioselective, cascade, heterocycles, rhodium.

A new one-pot Synthesis of 3-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-1-yl)- isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones by DEAD-promoted oxidative Ugi/Wittig reaction was developed. The sequential reactions of (2-carboxybenzyl)triphenylphosphonium salts, isocyanides and N-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines produced 3-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-1-yl)- isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones in moderate to good overall yields in the presence of DEAD and Et3N.

A review that summarizes the most recent technological developments in the field of ultrafast structural dynamics with focus on the use of ultrashort X-ray and electron pulses follows. Atomistic views of chemical processes and phase transformations have long been the exclusive domain of computer simulators. The advent of femtosecond (fs) hard X-ray and fs-electron diffraction techniques made it possible to bring such a level of scrutiny to the experimental area. The following review article provides a summary of the main ultrafast techniques that enabled the generation of atomically resolved movies utilizing ultrashort X-ray and electron pulses. Recent advances are discussed with emphasis on synchrotron-based methods, tabletop fs-X-ray plasma sources, ultrabright fs-electron diffractometers, and timing techniques developed to further improve the temporal resolution and fully exploit the use of intense and ultrashort X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) pulses.

Theoretical and experimental materials for analyzing the technical capabilities of concrete are generalized and the physicochemical basis for the strength and durability of concrete is developed on the basis of the recent advances in building materials science and other sciences. That may increase the traditional concrete potential use and most importantly – to create the most firm and durable concrete of the new generation.
