The electrochemical oxidation of acetaminophen (1a) is carried out in the presence of thiouracil derivatives (3a-c), as nucleophiles, in an acetate buffer solution (0.15M, pH 5) mixed with Dimethylformamide (DMF) using cyclic voltammetry and coulometry under a constant potential. The results obtained indicate that N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone-imine derived from acetaminophen participates in a 1,4-Michael-type addition reaction with thiouracils to form the corresponding acetaminophen derivatives (4a-c) in good yields and with high purities using a facile, catalyst-free, and one-pot electrochemical method using three carbon electrodes in an undivided cell under mild conditions. The products obtained were characterized after purification by IR, H-1 NMR, and C-13 NMR spectroscopies, and by the elemental analysis method.

Sencanli, Selin; Karahan, Senem; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2013-11-13)
When hydrazine borane is added to the solution of nickel(II) chloride and poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid), PSSMA, both reduction of nickel(II) ions to nickel(0) nanoparticles and hydrogen release from the hydrolysis of hydrazine borane occur concomitantly at room temperature. Using the hydrogen evolution from the hydrolysis of hydrazine borane as reporter reaction provides valuable insights to the formation kinetics of nickel(0) nanoparticles. Nickel(0) nanoparticles are in situ formed from the ...

Poly(9-fluorenecarboxylic acid) (PFCA) was synthesized by electrochemical oxidation of 9-fluorenecarboxylic acid (FCA) using a mixture of nitromethane and boron trifluoride diethyl etherate as the solvent and tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate as the supporting electrolyte. An insoluble and conducting brownish-orange film was deposited on the electrode surface, both during repetitive cycling and constant potential electrolysis at 1.15 V. Characterization of the polymer film has been carried out using Four...

KOYUNCU, Hasan; Doğan, Özdemir (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2007-08-16)
Ferrocenyl-substituted aziridinylmethanol (Fam-1) has been used as a chiral catalyst with titanium for enantioselective alkynylation of aromatic, heteroaromatic, aliphatic, and alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes to give the corresponding propargylic alcohols in up to 96% yield and 96% ee. The ligand can be prepared easily and recycled.
Nanoceria-Supported Ruthenium(0) Nanoparticles: Highly Active and Stable Catalysts for Hydrogen Evolution from Water
Demir Arabacı, Elif; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018-02-21)
Ruthenium(0) nanoparticles supported on nanoceria (Ru-0/CeO2) were prepared by reduction of Ru3+ ions on the surface of ceria using aqueous solution of NaBH4. The Ru-0/CeO2 samples were characterized by advanced analytical tools and employed as electrocatalysts on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in hydrogen evolution from water. The GCE, modified by Ru-0/CeO2 (1.86 wt % Ru), provides an incredible electrocatalytic activity with a high exchange current density of 0.67 mA.cm(-2), low overpotential of 47 mV ...
