Alkyne carboxylic acid derivatives are stable, non-toxic, inexpensive, and commercially available. They are prevalent intermediates for various synthetic transformations. In recent years, decarboxylative oxidative alkynylation reactions involving direct C−H bond activation of diverse carbo- and hetero-cycles with alkyne carboxylic acid have attracted more and more interest from the synthetic community. The joy and challen Read More

The synthesis of organoboron compounds was accomplished using borylation catalyzed by palladium. This reaction is ubiquitous due to its widespread utility in coupling reactions and allied applications in synthesis. The attraction of borylation in organic synthesis has been attributed to moderate conditions associated with the reactions and tolerance to different types of functional groups. Their applications spread acros Read More

Iron-catalyzed C–H amination reactions have emerged as a potent tool in synthetic organic chemistry in recent years. These reactions are eco-friendly, highly catalytic efficient, and show good functional group tolerance. The organonitrogen products of the reaction have found wide applications in agricultural chemistry, medicinal chemistry, industrial chemistry, and natural product synthesis. This review focuses on th Read More

Introduction: Alumina-supported nickel-iron-ruthenium-based catalyst with a high surface area (200 m2 g-1) was synthesized via an impregnation method and tested for dry reforming of methane. Methods: The prepared catalyst was characterized by different analytical techniques, such as Xray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, N2 sorption, environmental scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (X Read More
