Journal ArticleDOI
Electrospun fibers for oil–water separation
Wenjing Ma,Qilu Zhang,Dawei Hua,Ranhua Xiong,Zhao Juntao,Weidong Rao,Huang Shenlin,Xianxu Zhan,Fei Chen,Chaobo Huang +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of super-hydrophobic/super-oleophilic electrospun fibers for oil/water separation is presented, including the preparation of electro spun fibers with superhydrophilic surfaces, and super hydrophobic and superoleophobic fibrous membranes for oil absorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization reactions of 2-tosylaminophenylprop-1-yn-3-ols as a versatile approach for indole synthesis.
TL;DR: How the two-step process might be the starting point of a novel way togenerate nanostructures is described, which are systems for non-electronic communication consisting of a fast-burningnitrocellulose fuse and a slow-burning cotton fuse.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gold-Catalyzed Cycloisomerization of 1,6-Diyne Carbonates and Esters to 2,4a-Dihydro-1H-fluorenes
TL;DR: Experimental and ONIOM(QM:QM') computational studies based on the proposed Au carbenoid species provide insight into this unique selectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gold-Catalyzed Tandem 1,3-Migration/[2 + 2] Cycloaddition of 1,7-Enyne Benzoates to Azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-5-enes
TL;DR: A synthetic method that relies on gold(I)-catalyzed tandem 1,3-migration/[2 + 2] cycloaddition of 1,7-enyne benzoates to prepare azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-5-enes is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ligand-controlled product selectivity in gold-catalyzed double cycloisomerization of 1,11-dien-3,9-diyne benzoates.
Weidong Rao,Dewi Susanti,Benjamin James Ayers,Philip Wai Hong Chan,Philip Wai Hong Chan,Philip Wai Hong Chan +5 more
TL;DR: A synthetic method to prepare tricyclic bridged heptenones and hexenones from gold(I)-catalyzed double cycloisomerization of 1,11-dien-3,9-diyne benzoates is described and a divergence in product selectivity was achieved by fine-tuning the steric nature of the ligand of the Au(I) catalyst.
