Convenient Synthesis of 7H-Naphtho-[1,8-gh]quinolin-7-one

7H-Naphtho[1,8-gh]quinolin-7-one was prepared by the glycerol condensation of 3-aminophenalenone in good yields. This method provides a new and convenient synthesis of the compound. NMR spectra of its related compounds were measured, and the rapid interchange between two equivalent α-enone structures was found, which is well known as the phenomenon for the formation of carboxylic acid dimer or hydrogen difluoride ion.

Robust CoAl Alloy: Highly Active,Reusable and Green Catalyst in the Hydrogenolysis of Glycerol

CoAl alloy catalyst is found, for the first time, to be highly active, selective and reusable for the synthesis of diols via the hydrogenolysis of glycerol under mild conditions. The products and the catalyst could be self‐separated from the reaction system through a simple reactor.     

Controlled Array of Ferritin in Tubular Nanostructure

We have demonstrated that uniform and continuous poly(2‐acrylamido‐2‐methyl‐1‐propane sulfonic acid) (PAMPS) tubular core‐shell nanostructures containing linear features of ferritin nanoparticles can be directly fabricated using two immiscible solutions employing coaxial electrospinning. By adjusting the concentration of PAMPS as the outer solution in the coaxial electrospinning process, the width of a one dimensional (1D) array of ferritin could be accurately controlled. We demonstrate the formation of a nearly linear chain of individual ferritin particles encapsulated in a PAMPS nanofiber of 40 nm diameter. The ability to accurately control the width of the ferritin 1D arrays encapsulated in tubular nanostructures is a key component in determining the efficiency and performance of nanodevices. The demonstrated method of forming tubular nanostructures containing inner 1D particle arrays can also be extended to other materials with potential applications in nanoelectronic devices, such as nanobiosensors and batteries.

     

ATRP of Silylated Glycerol Monomethacrylate in Organic Medium for Convenient Synthesis of Amphiphilic Copolymers

A synthetic method with broad spectrum of application in the preparation of self‐organizing amphiphilic copolymers having poly(glycerol monomethacrylate) (PG2MA) as a hydrophilic part is herein reported. The approach relies on the facile preparation of silylated glycerol monomethacrylate (G2MA‐TMS) monomer, and its controlled atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in organic media, which produced well‐defined (co)polymers with predictable molar mass and low dispersity, followed by desilylation. The wide scope of such a strategy was demonstrated by the successful synthesis of original polycaprolactone‐b‐poly(glycerol monomethacrylate) (PCL‐b‐PG2MA) diblock copolymers with the ability to self‐assemble into ordered structures (micelles and vesicles) in an aqueous medium.

     

Optimisation of Glycerol and Itaconic Anhydride Polycondensation

Glycerol polyesters have recently become objects of interest in tissue engineering. Barely known so far is poly(glycerol itaconate) (PGItc), a biocompatible, biodegradable polyester. Due to the presence of a C=C electron-acceptor moiety, it is possible to post-modify the product by Michael additions to change the properties of PGItc. Thus, using PGItc as one of the elements of cellular scaffold crosslinked in situ for bone tissue regeneration seems to be a very attractive yet unexplored solution. This work aims to optimize the synthesis of PGItc to obtain derivatives with a double bond in the side chain with the highest conversion rates. The experiments were performed with itaconic anhydride and glycerol using mathematical planning of experiments according to the Box-Behnken plan without solvent and catalyst. The input variables of the process were the ratio of the OH/COOH, temperature, and reaction time. The optimised output variables were: the degree of esterification (ED_titr), the degree of esterification calculated from the analysis of ¹H NMR spectra (ED_NMR), and the degree of itaconic anhydride conversion—calculation based on ¹³C NMR spectra (%X_13C^NMR). In each of statistical models, the significance of the changed synthesis parameters was determined. Optimal conditions are when OH/COOH ratio is equal to 1.5, temperature is 140 °C and time of reaction is 5 h. The higher OH/COOH ratio, temperature and longer the experiment time, the higher the value of the degree of esterification and the degree of anhydride conversion.

Selective Oxidation of Glycerol via Acceptorless Dehydrogenation Driven by Ir(I)-NHC Catalysts

Iridium(I) compounds featuring bridge-functionalized bis-NHC ligands (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene), [Ir(cod)(bis-NHC)] and [Ir(CO)₂(bis-NHC)], have been prepared from the appropriate carboxylate- or hydroxy-functionalized bis-imidazolium salts. The related complexes [Ir(cod)(NHC)₂]⁺ and [IrCl(cod)(NHC)(cod)] have been synthesized from a 3-hydroxypropyl functionalized imidazolium salt. These complexes have been shown to be robust catalysts in the oxidative dehydrogenation of glycerol to lactate (LA) with dihydrogen release. High activity and selectivity to LA were achieved in an open system under low catalyst loadings using KOH as a base. The hydroxy-functionalized bis-NHC catalysts are much more active than both the carboxylate-functionalized ones and the unbridged bis-NHC iridium(I) catalyst with hydroxyalkyl-functionalized NHC ligands. In general, carbonyl complexes are more active than the related 1,5-cyclooctadiene ones. The catalyst [Ir(CO)₂{(MeImCH₂)₂CHOH}]Br exhibits the highest productivity affording TONs to LA up to 15,000 at very low catalyst loadings.     

Glycerol Valorization—The Role of Biochar Catalysts

The conversion of renewable feedstocks into new added-value products is a current hot topic that includes the biodiesel industry. When converting vegetable oils into biodiesel, approximately 10% of glycerol byproduct is produced. Glycerol can be envisaged as a chemical platform due to its chemical versatility, as a scaffold or building block, in producing a wide range of added-value chemicals. Thus, the development of sustainable routes to obtain glycerol-based products is crucial and urgent. This certainly encompasses the use of raw carbonaceous materials from biomass as heterogeneous acid catalysts. Moreover, the integration of surface functional groups, such as sulfonic acid, in carbon-based solid materials, makes them low cost, exhibiting high catalytic activity with concomitant stability. This review summarizes the work developed by the scientific community, during the last 10 years, on the use of biochar catalysts for glycerol transformation.
