In this study, we show that core/shell microgels with multiple layers can be created via a one-pot precipitation polymerization, in which monomers are added to the reaction flask multiple times once most of the previous monomer has been consumed.
Complete and selective hydrodeoxygenation of biomass-derived furfural-acetone aldol adducts to liquid alkanes was achieved over Ru/5WO3–ZrO2 catalyst at 150 °C and 2 MPa H2, attributed to the synergistic cooperation of Ru and WO3–ZrO2 support.
Photolabile protecting groups (PPGs) control the release of a protected group both spatially and temporally. In the PPG para-hydroxyphenyl deprotonation at basic pH accelerates the photoinitiated release to less than 1 ps.
The conversion of biomass into fuels or fuel intermediates is a useful technique to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels.
The aldol condensation of low-molecular-weight biogenic carbonyl compounds plays a pivotal role in constructing longer-chain intermediates for the production of furanic jet fuels.
