A process for making brominating agents in flow

Abstract: A process for making a brominating agent comprising the step of continuously feeding a bromide source and an oxidizing agent into a continuous flow reactor.

Copper‐Mediated N‐ and O‐Arylations with Arylboronic Acids in a Continuous Flow Microreactor: A New Avenue for Efficient Scalability.

Abstract: A continuous flow procedure has been elaborated for the copper(II)-mediated N- and O-arylation of a range of compounds with arylboronic acids using a commercial microreactor setup. The compounds could be continuously generated in good yields paving the way for efficient scalability.

The Diels-Alder reaction : doomed to academic praise only?

Abstract: The Diels-Alder reaction is universally acknowledged for its atom-efficient and simple access to molecular complexity. This textbook example of a green reaction forms one of the most efficient routes towards six-membered rings. However, a large gap is noticed between the relevance and versatility in the academic world, implying a small scale, and industrial use. Obviously, the current developed Diels-Alder procedures are failing to make their way into industry. This perspective paper will gave a critical overview of the most important bottlenecks of Diels-Alder reactions. Flow chemistry, a key research area for green engineering, is a powerful tool to facilitate a safe transfer of Diels Alder processes to the industrial environment.

Domino Ring-Closing Enyne-Metathesis—Cross-Metathesis Approach to 1-Phosphonylated Benzazepines.

Abstract: A short approach was developed towards phosphonylated benzazepines. Aminophosphonates containing an 'yne' and an 'ene' moiety were synthesised via phosphonylation of the corresponding imines. The key step in the reaction sequence is a domino enyne-metathesis-cross-metathesis.

I and i

Abstract: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality. Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

疟原虫var基因转换速率变化导致抗原变异[英]／Paul H, Robert P, Christodoulou Z, et al//Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A

Abstract: 抗原变异可使得多种致病微生物易于逃避宿主免疫应答。表达在感染红细胞表面的恶性疟原虫红细胞表面蛋白1（PfPMP1）与感染红细胞、内皮细胞、树突状细胞以及胎盘的单个或多个受体作用，在黏附及免疫逃避中起关键的作用。每个单倍体基因组var基因家族编码约60种成员，通过启动转录不同的var基因变异体为抗原变异提供了分子基础。

Production of first and second generation biofuels: A comprehensive review

Abstract: Sustainable economic and industrial growth requires safe, sustainable resources of energy. For the future re-arrangement of a sustainable economy to biological raw materials, completely new approaches in research and development, production, and economy are necessary. The ‘first-generation’ biofuels appear unsustainable because of the potential stress that their production places on food commodities. For organic chemicals and materials these needs to follow a biorefinery model under environmentally sustainable conditions. Where these operate at present, their product range is largely limited to simple materials (i.e. cellulose, ethanol, and biofuels). Second generation biorefineries need to build on the need for sustainable chemical products through modern and proven green chemical technologies such as bioprocessing including pyrolysis, Fisher Tropsch, and other catalytic processes in order to make more complex molecules and materials on which a future sustainable society will be based. This review focus on cost effective technologies and the processes to convert biomass into useful liquid biofuels and bioproducts, with particular focus on some biorefinery concepts based on different feedstocks aiming at the integral utilization of these feedstocks for the production of value added chemicals.
