Microporous zeolites that can act as heterogeneous catalysts have continued to attract a
great deal of academic and industrial interest, but current progress in their synthesis and …

γ-Butenolides, γ-butyrolactones, and derivatives, especially in enantiomerically pure form,
constitute the structural core of numerous natural products which display an impressive …

Abstract The Baeyer–Villiger oxidation, first reported more than 100 years ago, has evolved
into a versatile reaction widely used to convert ketones—readily available building blocks in …

Intellectually, the advantages that flow from the availability of single‐site heterogeneous
catalysts (SSHC) are many. They facilitate the determination of the kinetics and mechanism …

What is life without oxygen is a rhetorical question. On the other hand, unraveling the
intricacies and understanding the various mechanisms underpinning the biological …

In 1899, Adolf Baeyer and Victor Villiger reported the oxidation of menthone to the
corresponding lactone (Figure 1) using a mixture of sodium persulfate and concentrated …

Pollution, accidents, and misinformation have earned the pharmaceutical and chemical
industry a poor public reputation, despite their undisputable importance to society …

The existence of a peroxygen acid of sulfur was recognized nearly one and half centuries
ago, 1, 2 but it was not until 1898 that Caro 3 demonstrated the existence of two such acids …

This review is the first to collate and summarize main data on named and unnamed
rearrangement reactions of peroxides. It should be noted, that in the chemistry of peroxides …

The middle of the Cretaceous period (about 120 to 80 Myr ago) was a time of unusually
warm polar temperatures, repeated reef-drowning in the tropics and a series of oceanic …
