Journal ArticleDOI
The chemistry of dimethyl carbonate.
Pietro Tundo,Maurizio Selva +1 more
TL;DR: DMC possesses properties of nontoxicity and biodegradability which makes it a true green reagent to use in syntheses that prevent pollution at the source and avoiding the formation of undesirable inorganic salts as byproducts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthetic pathways and processes in green chemistry. Introductory overview
Pietro Tundo,Paul T. Anastas,David StC. Black,J.J. Breen,Terrence J. Collins,Sofia Memoli,Junshi Miyamoto,Martyn Polyakoff,William Tumas +8 more
TL;DR: The Green Chemistry Institute (GCI) is a not-for-profit organization promoting environmentally benign syntheses and processing as mentioned in this paper, which was founded by Breen, who was a leading pioneer of green chemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective Hydrogenolysis of Glycerol with Raney Nickel
Alvise Perosa,Pietro Tundo +1 more
TL;DR: Glycerol, a cheap renewable feedstock, was converted selectively to 1,2-propanediol by heating under low hydrogen pressure (10 bar) in the presence of Raney nickel.
Journal ArticleDOI
The reactions of dimethyl carbonate and its derivatives
TL;DR: In this article, a review of DACs as alkoxycarbonylating agents and their applications in industry and fine synthesis, as well as alkylating agent including allylic alkylation using palladium catalysts and the Pd/Ti bimetallic system and anchimerically driven alkylations via mustard carbonates is presented.
