Fueling up with furans: Cellulose can be converted into furanic biofuels in unprecedented yields using an inexpensive, simple process involving concurrent hydrolysis, dehydration, and chlorine substitution reactions coupled with continuous extraction into an organic phase (see scheme). Furanic ethers, such as those that can be derived from the products above, are known diesel additives.
Furane für den Motor: Cellulose lässt sich in zuvor unerreichten Ausbeuten in Furanbiokraftstoffe umwandeln. Dabei kommt ein einfaches, billiges Verfahren mit zeitgleicher Hydrolyse, Dehydrierung und Chlorsubstitution in Kombination mit fortlaufender Extraktion in eine organische Phase zum Einsatz (siehe Schema). Furanether, wie sie aus den gezeigten Produkten erhalten werden können, sind bekannte Dieselzusatzstoffe.
A fluoride sandwich: A cylindrophane macrocycle framed with cyanuric acid rings selectively complexes fluoride ion by a combination of anion–π interactions and ion‐pair‐reinforced hydrogen bonds. This compound is the first example of a purpose‐designed host that exploits anion–π bonding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
