Chemistry research and applications

Background: Biocatalysis in organic solvents is nowadays a common practice with a large potential in Biotechnology. Several studies report that proteins which are co-crystallized or soaked in organic solvents preserve their ...

The nitrofuran compounds exhibit a wide spectrum of biological action, and the understanding of their reduction mechanism can contribute to a better comprehension of their biological action. In this sense, the electrochemical ...

Perfluorobutylation of a series of benzo(hetero)aromatic compounds without formal leaving groups is achieved efficaciously in organic solvent-water mixtures under photostimulation. The methodology is compared with previously ...

Aqueous Mizoroki–Heck coupling reactions under microwave irradiation (MW) were carried out with a colloidal Pd nanocatalyst stabilized with poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). Many stilbenes and novel heterostilbenes were ...

Fluorinated radicals in water are shown to enable a useful array of synthetic organic transformations, reflecting these intermediates' distinct behavior in water or aqueous media. The enhanced reactivities of perfluroalkyl ...
