Out with convention! The use of borosalicylic acid, derived from boric and salicylic acids, as the acid promoter in methoxycarbonylation ethylene to give methyl propionate has been investigated (see scheme). Not only was moderate catalyst activity observed, but much lower formation phosphonium salts occurred than conventional acids.

Tin oxide (SnO2) nanocrystals (NCs) based phosphor was synthesized by a green chemistry microwave-assisted hydrothermal method at different reactor pressures. The x-ray diffraction analysis showed that single rutile SnO2 phase with tetragonal lattice structure formed. photoluminescence emission measured for He-Cd laser excitation 325 nm and it broad band from 400 to 800 all the spectra were due creation of various oxygen tin defects as confirmed photoelectron spectroscopy data. origin in NCs...
The preparation of a variety β-ketoesters was achieved in high yields from methyl acetoacetate under neutral conditions through the utilization magnetic CuFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>nanoparticles as catalyst.
An efficient and economical approach to functionalized furo[3,2-<i>c</i>]coumarin pyrano[3,2-<i>c</i>]coumarin derivatives has been developed from 4-hydroxy-3-(prop-2-ynyl)coumarin through organocatalysis or metallo-organocatalysis. Selective '5-<i>exo</i>-dig' '6-<i>endo</i>-dig' cyclization of the substrates could be achieved under organocatalytic {1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene} metallo-organocatalytic (<i>N</i>-methylmorpholine/CuBr) conditions, respectively, yield potentially...

Epoxidation of a series polyoxygenated chalcones with H2O2 in the presence poly(α-amino acid) catalysts, followed by Lewis acid-catalysed phenylmethanethiol ring-opening and cyclization, afforded trans- cis-dihydroflavonols moderate to high enantiomeric excess yield.
The absolute configuration of (αR)-α,2′-dihydroxy-4,4′-dimethoxydihydrochalcone from the heartwood Pterocarpus angolensis D.C. is established. Its structure substantiated by synthesis and photochemical conversion its α-O-tosyl derivative into an α-tosyloxymethyldeoxybenzoin hence to α-methyldeoxybenzoin analogue. step also leads, amongst others, α-hydroxymethyldeoxybenzoin, β-hydroxydihydrochalcone, 2-benzylbenzofuran-3-one analogues depending on conditions photolysis.
