The highly selective electrocatalytic activation of N-2 and CO2 to synthesize value-added urea via a C-N coupling reaction is an extremely challenging reaction that is largely inhibited by the poor chemisorption and coupling abilities of the reactant molecules. Herein, the novel conductive MOF Co-PMDA-2-mbIM (PMDA = pyromellitic dianhydride; 2-mbIM...

Visible-light photoredox catalysis has been regarded as an extremely powerful tool in organic chemistry, bringing the spotlight back to radical processes. The versatility of photocatalyzed reactions has already been demonstrated to be effective in providing alternative routes for cross-coupling as well as multicomponent reactions. The photocatalyst...
© 2021 American Chemical Society.A new method for the synthesis of N-H imines from α-azidocarboxylic acids was developed, which proceeds through decarboxylative C-C bond cleavage catalyzed by a commercial diruthenium complex ([CpRu(CO)2]2) under visible light irradiation at room temperature within several minutes. The reactive products undergo cond...

Through a two-way control of hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and hydrochloric acid (HCl), the PdCu nanoalloys with branched structures are synthesized in one step by hydrothermal reduction and used as electrocatalysts for formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR). In this two-way control strategy, the CTAB is used as a structure-oriented su...
Production of aviation fuel is promising but challenging in the field of biomass utilization. Here we proposed a route to produce highly branched alkanes by the self-aldol condensation of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), followed by the one-step hydrodeoxygenation (HDO). The catalytic activities of magnesium-aluminum mixed oxides (MgAl-O) were carefu...

Levulinic acid (LEV) has been identified as a key building block chemical produced entirely from biomass. Its derivatives can be used to synthesize a variety of value-added chemicals, such as 2-butanone, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, and so on. LEV has carbonyl and carboxyl functional groups, which makes it flexible, diverse, and unique during drug synt...
