Chlorination of Phenols Revisited: Unexpected Formation of α,β-Unsaturated C4-Dicarbonyl Ring Cleavage Products

Urs von Gunten

Despite decades of research on the fate of phenolic compounds when water is disinfected with hypochlorous acid (HOCl), there is still considerable uncertainty regarding the formation mechanisms and identity of ring cleavage products, especially at higher c ...

Comparison of the impact of ozone, chlorine dioxide, ferrate and permanganate pre-oxidation on organic disinfection byproduct formation during post-chlorination

Urs von Gunten

Pre-oxidation is commonly used to mitigate the formation of byproducts during post-disinfection. A comparative study of the impact of four pre-oxidants, ozone (O-3), chlorine dioxide (ClO2), permanganate (Mn(vii)) and ferrate (Fe(vi)), on the formation of ...

Protection Group Effects During α,γ-Diol Lignin Stabilization Promote High-Selectivity Monomer Production

Jeremy Luterbacher, Masoud Talebi Amiri, Wu Lan, Christopher Marc Hunston

Protection groups were introduced during biomass pretreatment to stabilize lignin's α,γ-diol group during its extraction and prevent its condensation. Acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde stabilized the α,γ-diol without any aromatic ring alkylation, which sign ...

Lewis acid catalyst-steered divergent synthesis of functionalized vicinal amino alcohols and pyrroles from tertiary enamides

Jieping Zhu, Shuo Tong

We report herein two Lewis acid catalyst-steered distinct reaction pathways of N-formylmethyl tertiary enamides. In the presence of a catalytic amount of AlCl3 and 4 angstrom molecular sieves, the stable N-formylmethyl tertiary enamides underwent sequentia ...
