Journal ArticleDOI
Organic chemistry in water
TL;DR: Water has emerged as a versatile solvent for organic chemistry in recent years and gives completely new reactivity, including pericyclic reactions, reactions of carbanion equivalent, and reactions of carbocation equivalent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-component coupling of aldehyde, alkyne, and amine catalyzed by silver in ionic liquid
TL;DR: A three-component coupling of aldehyde, alkyne, and amine was developed by using gold, copper, or silver as catalysts in ionic liquid as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mineralisation of reconstituted collagen using polyvinylphosphonic acid/polyacrylic acid templating matrix protein analogues in the presence of calcium, phosphate and hydroxyl ions
Young Kyung Kim,Li sha Gu,Thomas E. Bryan,Jong R. Kim,Liang Chen,Yan Liu,James C. Yoon,Lorenzo Breschi,David H. Pashley,Franklin Chi Meng Tay +9 more
TL;DR: Polyvinylphosphonic acid, a biomimetic analogue of matrix phosphoproteins, was synthesised and confirmed with FTIR and NMR, and Selected area electron diffraction patterns of highly mineralised collagen fibrils were nearly identical to those of natural bone, with apatite crystallites preferentially aligned along the collagenfibril axes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A remarkably efficient coupling of acid chlorides with alkynes in water.
Liang Chen,Chao-Jun Li +1 more
TL;DR: A highly effective direct coupling of acid chloride with terminal alkynes catalyzed by PdCl(2)(PPh(3))(2)/CuI together with a catalytic amount of sodium lauryl sulfate as the surfactant and K(2)CO(3) as the base provided ynones in high yields in water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalyzed reactions of alkynes in water
Liang Chen,Chao-Jun Li +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review summarizes the catalytic organic reactions of alkynes in aqueous media, and concludes that the alkyne reaction gives new reactivities, is environmentally friendly, and has broard applications in all areas of chemistry and materials science.
