Selective catalytic synthesis of new terpenic chlorides using NaDCC as an eco-friendly and highly stable FAC agent.

A simple, mild and efficient scope pathway for a selective catalytic chlorination of terpenic olefins is investigated in the presence of a highly efficient chlorination agent and a readily available Lewis acid catalyst. The sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) used in the present work as an easy handling, sustainable and cost-effective chlorine donor due to its high free available chlorine (FAC), exhibits a high efficiency for selective catalytic chlorination. Herein, we report for the first-time the FeCl/NaDCC combination system for the selective catalytic chlorination towards new functionalized terpenic olefins.

Carboxymethyl cellulose nanocolloids anchored Pd(0) nanoparticles (CMC@Pd NPs): synthesis, characterization, and catalytic application in transfer hydrogenation.

Herein, we report on the preparation of novel colloidal system based on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and Pd nanoparticles (CMC@Pd NPs) via an ecofriendly auto-reduction process under mild conditions. In the first step, the follow-up of reduction and preparation of CMC anchored palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) in aqueous solution was carried out using UV-Vis spectroscopy. Thereafter, the monodispersed colloids were fully characterized by advanced analytical, structural, and morphological techniques.
