TL;DR: Ammonium and silver co-doped phosphotungstic acid was developed as novel efficient catalyst for the synthesis of n-butyl levulinate as discussed by the authors, and the results showed that the activity of (NH4)0.5Ag 0.5H2PW12O40 was higher than that of single Ag+ or NH4+ doped H3PW and other representative catalysts reported by literatures.

TL;DR: In this article, a core-shell TiO 2 @SiO 2 was prepared using a combination of reverse microemulsion and precipitation methods and used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the transesterification of dimethyl carbonate and phenol.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pure V 2 O 5 catalyst prepared by calcination of NH 4 VO 3 at 550°C in air, was used for the synthesis of diphenyl carbonate (DPC) by the transesterification of dimethyl carbonate with phenol.

TL;DR: Dimethoxymethane was first synthesized from methanol with a liquid phase intermittent process which only used molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant as discussed by the authors, and RuCl3 was proved to be an efficient catalyst as it posses the ability of oxidizing methenol and Lewis acidic which promoted the oxidation of methanoline to formaldehyde and then methanoil condensed with formaldehyde to form dimethoxymythane at Lewis acid site.

TL;DR: A non-petroleum approach for the catalytic synthesis of methyl acrylate via methoxycarbonylation of acetylene with carbon monoxide and methanol as nucleophilic reagent has been studied under various conditions as mentioned in this paper.
