This study introduces iron-rich biochar to selectively adsorb some volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from asphalt-surfaced areas. Adsorption and retention of VOCs can improve the air quality while reducing asphalt's mass loss which compromises durability. The was made a hybrid feedstock Cyanidioschyzon merolae (CM) algae swine manure (SM) with blend 20:80 CM/SM, showing highest yield 27 wt % metal content Fe (21.8 g kg–1). Comparison VOC adsorption low-iron shows significant role in...

E–pH (Pourbaix) diagrams provide an important graphical link between the thermodynamic calculations of potential, pH, equilibrium constant, concentration, and changes in Gibbs energy experimentally observed behavior species aqueous solutions. The utility is extended with introduction additional variable, X, which a property one pertinent such as concentration. By allowing investigator to visualize interdependence three variables, these three-dimensional E–pH–X plots increase interpretive...

Amide synthesis is one of the most widely practiced chemical reactions, owing to its use in drug development and peptide synthesis. Despite importance these applications, attendant effort eliminate waste associated with protocols has met limited success, pernicious α-epimerization often minimized but not eliminated when targeting challenging amides (e.g.,

Abstract Thallium cyclopentadiene (Cp) salts are important precursors for the synthesis of a variety compounds having materials and commercial applications. The 5,6-fused ring thallium Cp pyridazines 2a–d from previously reported is described herein. This route was quite general, features an efficient convenient two-step series TlCp in THF solution ethoxide. Full characterization newly formed 3a–d reported.

The accessibility of bromonitromethane has declined in recent years, limiting its viability as a reagent for chemical synthesis. reinvestigation and optimization variety preparations, the development safe operating principles, are described. reproducible protocol described here leverages effectiveness hydroxide nitromethane bromination while respecting incompatibility with product it forms. This careful balance was achieved at scales up to 56 g, resulting procedure that provides...

A general Fe photocatalyzed Giese reaction was developed using a unique analytical technique for synthetic organic chemistry: Thermal Gravimetric Analysis-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (TGA-FTIR). The optimized conditions proceed with low loadings of simple salt commercial amine ligand and obviates the need traditional large excess one coupling partner to facilitate radical capture. This protocol enables successful primary, secondary, tertiary carboxylic acids sterically hindered,...
