We report the synthesis of lutidine-based PNN type metal pincer complexes, using achiral (pyrrolidine) as well as chiral ((R,R)-2,5-dimethylpyrrolidine and (R)-2-methylpyrrolidine) substituents at the ...

Lactic acid (LA), a key platform chemical from biomass, is an ideal feedstock for biodegradable plastic synthesis. The conversion of glycerol to LA was investigated over ...

When aliphatic 1,2-diketone, such as 3,4-hexanedione was used as substrate, the desired products were also obtained with excellent yield (Table 4, entry 8). Finally, we also examined the reaction of ...
