Usage

General Description

Indene oxide, also known as 1,2-epoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene, is a chemical compound that contains a cyclohexene ring fused with a benzene ring and an epoxide functional group. It is a colorless to light yellow liquid at room temperature and is used as a reactive intermediate in the production of various chemical compounds, including pharmaceuticals, perfumes, and industrial chemicals. Indene oxide has been studied for its potential use as a chiral building block in organic synthesis and as a starting material for the synthesis of biologically active compounds. It is also known to be a skin irritant and should be handled with care in laboratory and industrial settings.

A very simple method to synthesize nano-sized manganese oxide: An efficient catalyst for water oxidation and epoxidation of olefins

Nano-sized particles of manganese oxides have been prepared by a very simple and cheap process using a decomposing aqueous solution of manganese nitrate at 100 °C. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction spectrometry have been used to characterize the phase and the morphology of the manganese oxide. The nano-sized manganese oxide shows efficient catalytic activity toward water oxidation and the epoxidation of olefins in the presence of cerium(iv) ammonium nitrate and hydrogen peroxide, respectively.

Biomimetic epoxidation of alkenes with sodium periodate catalyzed by tetraphenylporphyrinatomanganese(III) chloride supported on multiwall carbon nanotubes

The biomimetic epoxidation of alkenes catalyzed by tetraphenylporphyrinatomanganese(III) chloride, [Mn(TPP)Cl], immobilized on multiwall carbon nanotubes modified with 4-aminopyridine and 4-aminophenol is reported. These heterogenized catalysts were used as efficient and reusable catalysts for epoxidation of a variety of cyclic and linear alkenes with sodium periodate under mild conditions. The catalysts, [Mn(TPP)Cl@amine-MWCNT], were characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods. The effect of ultrasonic irradiation on these catalytic systems was also investigated. The catalysts were reused several times without loss of their activity. Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2011.

Chiral porous poly(ionic liquid)s: Facile one-pot, one-step synthesis and efficient heterogeneous catalysts for asymmetric epoxidation of olefins

Ionic liquids are potential media/solvents for asymmetric synthesis when combined with chiral catalysts, while most reported catalysts are homogenous, making them difficult to separate from the reaction systems. Herein, chiral porous poly(ionic liquid)s (

Efficient and selective oxidation of hydrocarbons with tert-butyl hydroperoxide catalyzed by oxidovanadium(IV) unsymmetrical Schiff base complex supported on γ-Fe2O3 magnetic nanoparticles

The catalytic activity of an oxidovanadium(IV) unsymmetrical Schiff base complex supported on γ-Fe2O3 magnetic nanoparticles, γ-Fe2O3@[VO(salenac-OH)] in which salenac-OH = [9-(2′,4′-dihydroxyphenyl)-5,8-diaza-4

Anchoring of a terpyridine-based Mo(VI) complex on manganese ferrite as a recoverable catalyst for epoxidation of olefins under solvent-free conditions

A magnetically separable heterogeneous nanocatalyst was obtained by anchoring a terpyridine-based Mo(VI) complex on modified MnFe2O4 nanoparticles and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopies (DRS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. The catalytic activity of the supported molybdenum based catalyst was evaluated in the selective epoxidation of various olefins (cyclooctene, limonene, 1-dodecane, 1-heptene, styrene, 1-indene, α-pinene, cyclohexene) with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant under solvent-free conditions. This nanocatalyst was easily separated by using an external magnetic field and reused consecutively at least five times with no significant loss in selectivity and catalytic activity. The short reaction time, simple preparation, high conversion, good physicochemical stability and magnetic recycling of the catalysts are beneficial.
