Abstract:
... Understanding the interfacial mechanical properties between hydrate and solids is vital to designing and fabricating surfaces for hydrate management. Herein, the role of the surface wettability, the type of solid substrate and temperature on the interfacial adhesion properties of tetrahydrofuran (THF) hydrate and ice were examined by force analysis based shearing measurements and molecular dynamic ...

Abstract:
... In this study, a novel supramolecular solvent based on surface-active ionic liquid was prepared and used as an extraction solvent for dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction of four triazine herbicides in tea samples. The formation mechanism, microstructure and physicochemical properties of supramolecular solvent were studied. Some parameters, including the molar ratio of surface-active ionic liq ...
... The study described the synthesis, characterization, and application of newly prepared sulfathiazole-modified amide/imide co-polymers for the extraction of trace Sb(III) from edible vegetable oils. The method was based on the pH-dependent complexation between Sb(III) and chelators as a result of charge transfer via tautomerization in presence of the mixed ionic surfactants in 5%(v/v) 2-propanol, 1 ...
... We present a new ring-opening reaction of epoxides by pendant silanols, catalyzed by either Ph₃C⁺BF₄– or BINOL-phosphoric acid. Silanol epoxides derived from trans-allylic alcohols, cis-allylic alcohols, trans-homoallylic alcohols, and cis-homoallylic alcohols were all compatible and gave products from either endo- or exo-ring opening. With silanol epoxides derived from 4-alkenyl silanols, an unus ...
... Oxygen heterocycles are units that are abundant in a great number of marine natural products. Among them, marine polyketides containing tetrahydrofuran rings have attracted great attention within the scientific community due to their challenging structures and promising biological activities. An overview of the most important marine tetrahydrofuran polyketides, with a focused discussion on their i ...

Abstract:
... A highly stereoselective asymmetric total synthesis of (−)-jimenezin (1), a potent anticancer acetogenin, was efficiently completed with the key feature being a sequential intramolecular amide enolate alkylation (IAEA). Our investigation to probe the origin of the complete stereoselectivity in the second IAEA step to form the conformationally flexible tetrahydrofuran with perfect stereocontrol ide ...

Abstract:
... A straightforward and modular sequence for the synthesis of substituted spirocyclic tetrahydrofurans is described. The strategy relies on a reductive cobalt-catalyzed three-component reaction between a cyclic ketone, an acrylate, and a vinylic bromide followed by an intramolecular iodoetherification of the resulting γ-hydroxyalkene. Some functional group interconversions allowed the preparation of ...

Abstract:
... Although the synthesis of thiophenol-pendant polymers was reported in the 1950s, the polymers generally suffered from oxidation and became insoluble in organic solvents, hampering detailed characterization and further applications. Dithiocatechol-pendant polymers, which have one additional ortho-thiol group than thiophenol-pendant polymers, have never been synthesized, despite their promise in var ...

Abstract:
... The fluorescence quenching phenomenon commonly found in two-dimensional COFs is due to either the strong interlayer π–π stacking or the non-radiative decay caused by intramolecular rotation. Here, we report a rigidity–flexibility balance strategy for constructing highly photoluminescent 2D COF nanosheets via the integration of rigid fluorescent molecular nodes with flexible non-planar building blo ...

Abstract:
... The umpolung activity of hemiacetals serving as α-carbon nucleophiles has been reported via dinuclear zinc cooperative catalysis. This umpolung strategy has been applied to catalytic asymmetric tandem reactions of 1-tosylindoline-2,3-diols with β,γ-unsaturated-α-keto compounds, providing a broad series of structurally diverse tetrahydrofuran spirooxindoles and dihydrofurans, respectively. In addit ...

Abstract:
... Cyclic bottlebrush polymers are macrocycles that contain pendent side-chain polymers on nearly every repeat unit. We leveraged a method to generate cyclic bottlebrush polymers utilizing ring-expansion polymerization (REP) followed by subsequent grafting-from via atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) to produce core–shell cyclic bottlebrush polymers and investigated their self-assembly behavi ...

Abstract:
... In this paper, in the presence of trimethylsilyl iodide, the direct ortho-C–H hydroxyalkylation/methylation of aryl iodines was effectively realized via palladium/norbornene cooperative catalysis when low-cost tetrahydrofuran and 1,2-dimethoxyethane were used as alkyl sources. Heck, Suzuki, and Sonogashira coupling and hydrogenation were all compatible with the reaction as termination steps. In ad ...

This protocol affords an efficient and practical approach for solvent-controlled divergent synthesis of α,β-unsaturated δ-lactams in dimethylformamide and β,γ-unsaturated δ-lactams in tetrahydrofuran in good to excellent yields. Significantly, the step- and atom-economical reactions are m ...

Abstract:
... The catalytic conversion of cellulose to levoglucosenone (LGO) was studied using dilute sulfuric acid and propylsulfonic acid functionalized SBA-15 (PS-SBA-15) in tetrahydrofuran (THF). We show that the addition of small amounts of a liquid acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid complements the use of a solid acid catalyst for the conversion of cellulose. Sulfuric acid promotes the depolymerization o ...
