Palladium-catalyzed carbonylative coupling of benzyl chlorides with terminal alkynes to give 1,4-diaryl-3-butyn-2-ones and related furanones.  

Science.gov (United States)

A general palladium-catalyzed carbonylative Sonogashira coupling of benzyl chlorides with terminal acetylenes has been established. Depending on the alkyne 1,4-diaryl-3-butyn-2-ones or substituted furanones are obtained in moderate to good yields. Best catalytic performance is achieved applying a mixed Pd(PPh(3))Cl(2)/P(OPh)(3) catalyst system. PMID:21968528

Efficient synthesis of unsymmetric diarylalkynes from decarboxylative coupling in a continuous flow reaction system  

British Library Electronic Table of Contents (United Kingdom)

Unsymmetric diaryl alkynes were synthesized from the palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative coupling of aryl halides and propiolic acid using a continuous flow reaction system. This flow chemistry system continuously gave the desired products in moderate to good yields, and produced less byproduct than was formed in the batch reaction.

Palladium-catalyzed combustion of methane: Simulated gas turbine combustion at atmospheric pressure  

Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB)

Atmospheric pressure tests were performed in which a palladium catalyst ignites and stabilizes the homogeneous combustion of methane. Palladium exhibited a reversible deactivation at temperatures above 750 C, which acted to ``self-regulate`` its operating temperature. A properly treated palladium catalyst could be employed to preheat a methane/air mixture to temperatures required for ignition of gaseous combustion (ca. 800 C) without itself being exposed to the mixture adiabatic flame temperature. The operating temperature of the palladium was found to be relatively insensitive to the methane fuel concentration or catalyst inlet temperature over a wide range of conditions. Thus, palladium is well suited for application in the ignition and stabilization of methane combustion.

Carbon pools and flux in the forests of Korea  

Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB)

This paper describes the estimated the rate of carbon accumulation in the woody biomass and total carbon storage in the forests including trees, soil and litter in Korea. The relevant data come from the Statistical Yearbook of Forestry and major results of the studies on forest biomass in Korea. Most of the forests, which has been denuded or degraded during the 2nd World War and the Korean War, were recovered through ``Reforestation Project(1973-1987)`` and natural regeneration. So, now they are mostly young secondary forests and grow rapidly. Total carbon removal by forests is estimated at 8.1 million tonnes of carbon(MtC) and the carbon emission by commercial harvesting at 0.9 MtC. therefore, the forests in Korea play an essential role as a net carbon sink. The annul net carbon removal is 7.2 MtC and accounts for about 11.0% of total carbon emissions in energy sector of Korea. The carbon storage in the forests is 589.9 MtC, 22.4% of that stored in trees, 64.1% in ...

Synthesis and spectral properties of diethyl organylchalcogenoalkyl(alkyl)malonates, RX(CH/sub 2/)/sub n/CR'(COOC/sub 2/H/sub 5/)/sub 2/, and 5-alkyl-5-(organylchalcogenoalkyl)barbiturates, RX(CH/sub 2/)/sub n/C(R')CONHC(Y)NHCO (X = Se, Te)  

Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB)

Barbiturates substituted at the 5-position with organyltelluroalkyl or organylselenoalkyl groups were prepared by ring annulation of appropriately substituted diethyl malonates with urea or thiourea. The substituted diethyl malonates (phenyltellurobutyl(ethyl), i-propyltelluropropyl(ethyl), i-propyltelluropropyl(allyl), i-propyselenopropyl(ethyl), and phenylselenohexyl(methyl)) were prepared in 55-91% yield by reaction of diethyl omega-bromoalkyl(alkyl)malonates with organyltellurolates or selenolates (RXNa; X = Se, Te) in ethanol/benzene. The following barbiturates were obtained in 28-84% yield: phenyltellurobutyl(ethyl), m.p. 100/sup 0/C; i-propyltelluropropyl(ethyl), m.p. 119/sup 0/C; i-propylselenopropyl(ethyl), m.p. 137/sup 0/C; phenyl-selenohexyl(methyl), m.p. 124/sup 0/C. The 5-substituted thiobarbiturates i-propyltelluropropyl(ethyl)-(m.p. 75/sup 0/C) and i-propylselenopropyl(ethyl)thiobarbiturate (m.p. 83/sup 0/C) were isolated in 32 and 20% yield, ...

Induction of biotransformation in the liver of Eel (Anguilla anguilla L. ) by sublethal exposure to dinitro-o-cresol: An ultrastructural and biochemical study  

Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB)

Structural and functional alterations in hepatocytes of the European eel, Anguilla anguilla, following a 4-week-exposure to 5, 50, and 250 micrograms/liter dinitro-o-cresol (DNOC) were investigated by means of electron microscopy and biochemistry and compared to liver pathology in eels exposed to the chemical spill into the Rhine river at Basle in November 1986. Whereas phenological parameters (growth, condition factor) are unaffected, ultrastructural and biochemical alterations are detectable at greater than or equal to 50 and 5 micrograms/liter DNOC, respectively. Structural modifications include: rounding-up of the nuclei; fractionation and reduction of the rough endoplasmic reticulum; proliferation of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER), mitochondria, peroxisomes, and lysosomes; bundles of rod-shaped SER profiles; annulate lamellae; membrane whorls within mitochondria; crystallization of the peroxisomal matrix and glycogen bodies; glycogen depletion and ...
