Chemist created a niobium-silica catalyst to boost petrochemical reactions
Catalyst reduces the time of alkylation reactions from several hours to just 10 minutes
08-Oct-2020
Alkylation reactions are used in the petrochemical industry to obtain high-octane number components for gasolines. A chemist from RUDN University found a way to speed this process up to 24 times. To do so, he developed a catalyst based on silica and niobium. The results of his work were published ...
Turning alcohols into alkylating agents
Taking a cue from nature
31-Aug-2015
Researchers at Princeton have developed a dual catalyst system that directly installs alkyl groups onto heteroarenes. The new reaction uses simple and abundant alcohols and offers a milder and more widely applicable alternative to existing strategies. The reported transformation is the first to ...

Creating chiral carbons
23-Jan-2009
South Korean scientists have developed a racemisation-resistant substrate that can be selectively alkylated to make new chiral carbon centres. Although there are many ways to make chiral carbon centres by alkylating carbonyl compounds, until now scientists have been unable to asymmetrically ...
Chemistry for a Raney day
02-Dec-2008
Spanish and Mexican scientists have stumbled across a new way to monoalkylate amines that they claim is more environmentally friendly than alternative routes. José García Ruano, at the Autonomous University of Madrid, and colleagues were using Raney nickel to cleave nitrogen–sulfur bonds in ...
