Epoxidation of the C=C double bond in unsaturated norlignans derived from hydroxymatairesinol was studied. The intermediate epoxides were formed in up to quantitative conversions and were readily further transformed into tetrahydrofuran, aryltetralin ...

Epoxidation of Terminalia catappa L. Seed oil: Optimization reaction
Unsaturated fatty acids contained in vegetable oils can be used as a raw material to produce epoxy through epoxidation reactions. This study aims to obtain the optimum conditions for the epoxidation reaction of Terminalia catappa L. (local name “ketapang”

Structure and Energetics of Graphene Oxide Isomers: Ab Initio Thermodynamic Analysis [PDF]
Graphene oxide (GO) holds significant promise for electronic devices and nanocomposite materials. A number of models were proposed for GO structure, combining carboxyl, hydroxyl, carbonyl and epoxide groups at different locations. The complexity and variety of GO isomers, whose thermodynamic stability and formation kinetics depend on applied conditions,

Flavoprotein monooxygenases for oxidative biocatalysis: recombinant expression in microbial hosts and applications [PDF]
External flavoprotein monooxygenases comprise a group of flavin-dependent oxidoreductases that catalyze the insertion of one atom of molecular oxygen into an organic substrate and the second atom is reduced to water. These enzymes are involved in a great

Generation of Molecular Complexity from Cyclooctatetraene: Preparation of Aminobicyclo[5.1.0]octitols [PDF]
A series of eight stereoisomeric N-(tetrahydroxy bicyclo-[5.1.0]oct-2S*-yl)phthalimides were prepared in one to four steps from N-(bicyclo[5.1.0]octa-3,5-dien-2-yl)phthalimide (±)-7, which is readily available from cyclooctatetraene (62 % yield).

Lignin modification by epoxidation
The chemical modification of lignin through hydroxymethylation and epoxidation is a way to develop new application fields and improvement of lignin performances. In this paper the influence of reaction conditions was studied using different samples of unmodified and modified lignins from annual plants (Wheat straw and Sarkanda grass).

Computationally Designed Zirconium Organometallic Catalyst for Direct Epoxidation of Alkenes without Allylic H Atoms: Aromatic Linkage Eliminates Formation of Inert Octahedral Complexes [PDF]
We used density functional theory to computationally design a Zr organometallic catalyst for selectively oxidizing substrates using molecular oxygen as oxidant without coreductant. Each selective oxidation cycle involves four general steps: (a) a peroxo or weakly adsorbed O2 group releases an O atom to substrate to form substrate oxide and an oxo group,

Enantioselective Synthesis of 5-epi-Citreoviral Using Ruthenium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Ring-Closing Metathesis [PDF]
Chiral ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts can perform asymmetric ring-closing reactions in ≥90% ee with low catalyst loadings. To illustrate the practicality of these reactions and the products they form, an enantioselective total synthesis of 5-epi ...
