Precipitated kraft lignin from black liquor was converted into green diesel in three steps. A mild Ni-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis using 2-propanol generated a lignin residue in which the ethers, carbonyls, ...

The combination of different experimental techniques, such as solid C-13 and H-1 magic-angle spinning NMR spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction, together with theoretical calculations allows ...

Solid niobium oxide treated with phosphoric acid (NbP) was used as a heterogeneous catalyst in the protection of a series of aliphatic alcohols as tetrahydropyranyl (THP) derivatives. Protection of primary alcohols using ...
