Hydroformylation of Olefins with CO/H and Hydrosilane by Copper/Cobalt Tandem Catalysis.

A Cu/Co tandem catalysis protocol was developed to conduct the hydroformylation of olefins using CO/H and PMHS (polymethylhydrosiloxane) as a readily available and environmentally friendly hydride source. This methodology was performed via a two-step approach consisting of the copper-catalyzed reduction of CO by hydrosilane and subsequent cobalt-promoted hydroformylation with H and the in situ formed CO. The optimized triphos oxide ligand, which presumably facilitates the migratory insertion of CO gives moderate to excellent yields for both terminal and internal alkenes.

Synthesis of Dimethyl Carbonate via Transesterification of Ethylene Carbonate and Methanol over Mesoporous KF-loaded Mg-Fe Oxides.

A series of KF/Mg-Fe oxides were fabricated via the solid-state reaction between KF and Mg-Fe oxides. Especially, when 20 wt % KF was supported on the Mg-Fe bi-metal oxides and calcined at 400-600 °C, the solid material with more basic sites than the support itself was obtained. When applied as catalyst to dimethyl carbonate (DMC) synthesis through transesterification of ethylene carbonate (EC) and methanol, this material can afforded up to 88 % yield and 97 % selectivity toward DMC in 2 h under reflux conditions with the molar ratio of methanol to ethylene carbonate set at 8.

The conscious processing of emotion in depression disorder: a meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies.

Background: Depression is generally accompanied by a disturbed conscious processing of emotion, which manifests as a negative bias to facial/voice emotion information and a decreased accuracy in emotion recognition tasks. Several studies have proved that abnormal brain activation was responsible for the deficit function of conscious emotion recognition in depression. However, the altered brain activation related to the conscious processing of emotion in depression was incongruent among studies.

This protocol proceeded smoothly with the assistance of inexpensive carbon tetrabromide at room temperature under atmospheric CO pressure, leading to simultaneous construction of C-O and C-N bonds.

Absolute phase retrieval for colored objects based on three phase-shifting amount codes.

We propose an absolute phase retrieval method based on three phase-shifting amount codes (3-PSA-codes) to measure the colored object with one additional pattern. 3-PSA-codes adopt the coding concept of 3-digit-codes, in which the code elements of three consecutive periods are treated as a unique code word for one period. However, to measure the colored object more effectively in the proposed method, each code element is embedded into the PSA domain and retrieved from the phase difference.
