And the article was included in Catalysis Science & Technology in 2022.COA of Formula: C8H8O This article mentions the following:
Partial hydrogenation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) could not only produce highly value-added chems. but also reduce environmental pollution; however, the partial hydrogenation reaction has to be performed under extreme conditions in the presence of precious metal-based catalysts, because PAHs are a class of inactive reactants. We report herein a porous metal silicate (PMS) material, PMS-16, that consists of Co and Ni bimetal redox-active species and BIII Lewis acid sites, demonstrating high catalytic activity (>99% conversion) and selectivity (>99%) for hydrogenation of a series of PAHs under mild conditions, which is much superior to noble metal-based catalysts in the literature. The unique catalytic properties of PMS-16 are derived from the synergistic work between Ni and Co metal species by sep. activating different reactant mols. and generating local redox potential to prompt electron and charge transfer. The catalyst is simply produced and very stable for industrial applications. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2,3-Dihydrobenzo[b]furan (cas: 496-16-2COA of Formula: C8H8O).
2,3-Dihydrobenzo[b]furan (cas: 496-16-2) belongs to benzofurans derivatives. Benzofuran derivatives have shown many biological activities, including antifungal and antimicrobial properties, and acting as antagonists of H3 receptors and angiotensin II. Introduction of benzofurans in organic synthesis, particularly drug synthesis, involves generally the use of their metalated species as nucleophiles in addition reactions or in metal-catalysed cross-coupling reactions.COA of Formula: C8H8O
