Construction of Functional Superhydrophobic Biochars as Hydrogen Transfer Catalysts for Dehydrogenation of N-Heterocycles

Zhaowen Dong

To endow metal-free materials with the high catalytic activity that is typically featured by a metal-based catalyst is yet a constant pursuit in the field of catalytic chemistry. In this work, novel functional biochars (DCNs) were prepared from wheat straw ...

Catalytic (3+2) annulation of donor-acceptor aminocyclopropane monoesters and indoles

Jérôme Waser, Emma Gabrielle Louise Robert, Vincent Géry C Pirenne

The efficient catalytic activation of donor-acceptor aminocyclopropanes lacking the commonly used diester acceptor is reported here in a (3 + 2) dearomative annulation with indoles. Bench-stable tosyl-protected aminocyclopropyl esters were converted into c ...

Highly Efficient Activation of HCl Dissociation on Au(111) via Rotational Preexcitation

Rainer Beck

The probability for dissociation of molecules on metal surfaces, which often controls the rate of industrially important catalytic processes, can depend strongly on how energy is partitioned in the incident molecule. There are many example systems where th ...
