Pd-loaded hierarchical titanosilicalite-1 catalysts on CO2 cycloaddition with epoxides: Experimental and DFT investigations

Research highlight / By

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the major greenhouse gases that has been increasing rapidly. This has caused directly impacts both humans and the environment. Therefore, the process for converting CO2 into many value-added chemicals can be beneficial because it cannot only reduce the growing CO2 but also accomplish the carbon cyclic utilization. One of …

Micellar Nanoreactors from Amphiphilic Copolymers for Thia-Michael Addition in Water

Research highlight / By

Most chemical reactions are carried out using organic solvents, which are mostly toxic and eventually become problematic from both economic and environmental perspectives. To explore better routes for “Greener” chemical processes, this research aims to develop micellar systems serving as nanoreactors which can dissolve and stabilize organic substrates in water. So that organic syntheis can …

Revisit classical oxidation with NaI-mediated electrochemical process: a mild and green process for synthesis of heterocycles

Research highlight / By

Simple oxidation reaction is one of the most common reactions in industry and academic laboratory. However, it is one of the most polluting and costly. One of the well-known oxidizing agents for constructing C-N bond is iodine. Although the reaction is efficient, they suffered from the use of stoichiometric amounts reagents. Over the past few …

α-Glucosidase Inhibitors from Cold-Pressed Black Sesame (Sesamum indicum) Meal: Characterization of New Furofuran Lignans, Kinetic Study, and In Vitro Gastrointestinal Digestion

Research highlight / By

Cold-pressed black sesame (Sesamum indicum) meal is obtained on an industrial scale after oil removal. Most furofuran lignans were identified using α-glucosidase assay-guided isolation. Five new compounds were investigated. In addition, evaluation of α-glucosidase inhibitory effects, kinetic studies, and gastrointestinal digestion were studied.

An easy-to-use platform for colorimetric determination of dextran: A potential application for the sugar industry

Research highlight / By

Dextran is one of the most undesirable compounds in the sugar production industry since it can cause several deleterious problems in the presence of dextran. This work develops a novel material platform for dextran determination for the first time by improving the traditional phenol-sulfuric acid assay to a ready-to-use material system. The detection procedure is …
