The first nitrile reductive couplings beyond stoichiometric metals or metalloids are described. Using a ruthenium catalyst derived from RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3 and Cy‐BIPHEP, 2‐propanol‐mediated reductive coupling of phenyl acrylate with aromatic or aliphatic nitriles delivers α,β‐unsaturated β‐amino esters.

Synthesis and Polymerization of a Lactone Building Block Derived From Cashew Nut Shells
Cardanol as a renewable substituted phenol feedstock was selectively transformed into the corresponding cyclohexanone derivative by means of a partial metal‐catalyzed hydrogenation. Subsequent conversion via Baeyer–Villiger oxidation gave a lactone product consisting of a mixture of regioisomers, which has been readily converted into its homopolymer ...

Oxidant‐Expedited Synthesis of H‐Phosphonates
An exceptionally mild method for synthesis of alkyl and aryl H‐phosphonates from phosphites is reported, requiring only water and O2 (including air) as reagents. Mechanistic experiments indicate that the role of O2 (and other oxidants) in the transformation is to promote a radical mechanism, and that H2O functions to provide both the hydrogen and the ...

From end‐of‐life pultruded CFRP profiles (1) to second life composites (7) through mild solvolysis (2,3), wet‐laid nonwoven mat fabrication (4), resin impregnation (5), and compression molding (6). ABSTRACT The growing use of carbon fiber–reinforced thermosets has led to the accumulation of significant composite waste, posing environmental and economic
