Reaction of zearalenone and α-zearalenol with allyl isothiocyanate, characterization of reaction products, their bioaccessibility and bioavailability…
2017
This study investigates the reduction of zearalenone (ZEA) and α-zearalenol (α-ZOL) on a solution model using allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) and also determines the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of the reaction products isolated and identified by MS-LIT. Mycotoxin reductions were dose-dependent, and ZEA levels decreased more than α-ZOL, ranging from 0.2 to 96.9% and 0 to 89.5% respectively, with no difference (p⩽0.05) between pH 4 and 7. Overall, simulated gastric bioaccessibility was higher than duodenal bioaccessibility for both mycotoxins and mycotoxin-AITC conjugates, with duodenal fractions representing ⩾63.5% of the original concentration. Simulated bioavailability of reaction pro…
Functionality transfer from C8 to C9 in sesquiterpenes. Synthesis of the named Herbolide E from artemisin.
1992
Abstract The key intermediate 6 was obtained in five steps from artemisin (1). The spectroscopic characteristics of the synthetic product 7a reveal that the proposed structure for the natural herbolide E must be revised.
A Solar Photothermocatalytic approach for the CO2 conversion: Investigation of different synergisms on CoO-CuO/Brookite TiO2-CeO2 catalysts
2022
Abstract The photoactive features of the least common polymorph of TiO2, i.e. brookite, were combined with the thermocatalytic redox ones of cerium oxide, focusing on the effects of the addition of small amounts of Co-Cu oxides for the solar CO2 conversion. By considering the characterization data, a surface segregation of the hosted metal oxides on the TiO2-CeO2 composite was evidenced, and their presence increased the amount of oxygen vacancies and improved the charge carriers separation. The bimetallic oxides-based sample was the most performing one in the photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction at room temperature. The formation of carbon monoxide and methane was 5 and 0.5 μmol g−1h−1, …
Origin and significance of the production of carbon dioxide during the ozonization of 13C-labeled D-glucose at different pH values.
2001
Abstract [1- 13 C], [2- 13 C] and [6- 13 C] d -glucose were, respectively, ozonized in a semi-batch reactor in acidic and basic conditions. The composition of the gas phase was evaluated by on-line mass spectrometry measurements. The quantitative and isotopic analyses of the carbon dioxide formed during ozonization are presented and discussed. The data, correlated with previous literature results, clearly show that at pH 2.5 the production of carbon dioxide from C-6 and C-1 carbon atoms is nearly equivalent. Conversely, at higher pH values, CO 2 is released with a greater selectivity from the reducing end. The importance of the decarboxylation reaction in the formation of by-products with f…
Pressurized CO2 Electrochemical Conversion to Formic Acid: From Theoretical Model to Experimental Results
2019
To curb the severely rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, new approaches to capture and utilize this greenhouse gas are currently being investigated. In the last few years, many researches have focused on the electrochemical conversion of CO2 to added-value products in aqueous electrolyte solutions. In this backdrop, the pressurized electroreduction of CO2 can be assumed an up-and-coming alternative process for the production of valuable organic chemicals [1-3]. In this work, the process was studied in an undivided cell with tin cathode in order to produce formic acid and develop a theoretical model, predicting the effect of several operative parameters. The model is based on …
Polymer Synthesis in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
2003
It is current opinion of most of the people involved in supercritical fluids (SCFs) technology that as the end of the twentieth century has been devoted to enlarge exploitation of compressed gases in separation processes the beginning of the twenty-first will be mainly aimed to improve their utilisation as solvents for reactions.
ELECTROCHEMICAL CONVERSION OF CARBON DIOXIDE TO FORMIC ACID IN A PRESSURIZZED FILTER PRESS CELL
2018
To limit the negative effect of carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas, an interesting approach is the utilization of Carbon Capture and Conversion (CCC) methodology, which is focused on the use of CO2 waste as a feedstock to produce added-value product by using the excess electric energy from renewable source [1]. In this framework, an increasing attention has been devoted in the electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide to formic acid in water [2,3], which is considered one of the more attractive pathway to convert CO2. Since the main hurdle of the CO2 reduction from aqueous solution is the low CO2 solubility in water, in this work, the effect of some operating parameters, including pressu…
Synthesis of dimethyl carbonate in supercritical carbon dioxide
2006
The reactivity of carbon dioxide with methanol to form dimethyl carbonate was studied in the presence of the n-butylmethoxytin compounds n-Bu3SnOCH3, n-Bu2Sn(OCH3)2 , and [n-Bu2(CH3O)Sn]2 O. The reaction occurred under solventless conditions at 423 K and was produced by an increase in CO2 pressure. This beneficial effect is primarily attributed to phase behavior. The mass transfer under liquid-vapor biphasic conditions was not limiting when the system reached the supercritical state for a CO2 pressure higher than 16 MPa. Under these conditions, CO2 acted as a reactant and a solvent.
AuX3-Mediated Selective Head-to-Head Dimerization of Difluoropropargyl Amides
2009
A dimerization of difluoropropargyl amides by reaction with gold(III) halides is described. A reductive elimination of a divinylgold species can be invoked to rationalize its formation. Initial studies of the unusual reactivity of these 1,4-dihalo-1,3-dienes have been performed.
Bio-based 1,3-diisobutyl imidazolium hydrogen oxalate [iBu 2 IM](HC 2 O 4 ) as CO 2 shuttle
2017
International audience; This manuscript describes the using of biosourced L-valine, oxalic acid and glyoxal to produce a biobased imidazolium hydrogen oxalate [iBu(2)IM](HC2O4) which is converted to its related hydrogen carbonate salt by a simple electrolysis without using strong base. The addition of weak protic acids to the latter compound leads to a rapid and quantitative CO2 release with formation of the starting hydrogen oxalate salt or a new halide free bio-based ionic liquid [iBu(2)IM](AcO) which is able to adsorb reversibly the CO2 at room temperature. The protonation reactions, combined with electrolysis, could then be a promising alternative solution for storage and transport of C…
