Treatment of 3,3-dialkylcyclobutanones with titanium(IV) chloride in the presence of aldehyde gave beta'-chloro-beta-hydroxy ketones in high yields. It was speculated that ring cleavage of the cyclobutanone ring with titanium(IV) chloride gave trichlorotitanium enolate having a tertiary alkyl chloride moiety and then aldol reaction of the titanium enolate proceeded. A trialkylsilylmethyl group at the 2-position of cyclobutanone facilitated the ring cleavage. Synthesis of substituted cyclopentenone from an obtained product is also described.

Chemical recycling of polymer contaminated poly(ethylene terephthalate) by neutral hydrolysis.

Waste Manag

Plastic recycling is gaining traction to reduce the demand for fossil resources for plastic production. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), mainly used in the packaging and textile sectors, is often isolated in the sinking fraction during the density-based separation of mixed plastic waste streams. The heterogeneity of the sinking fraction makes direct mechanical recycling of PET impossible.

Concerning the structures of Lewis base adducts of titanium(IV) hexafluoroisopropoxide.

Acta Crystallogr C Struct Chem

The reaction of titanium(IV) chloride with sodium hexafluoroisopropoxide, carried out in hexafluoroisopropanol, produces titanium(IV) hexafluoroisopropoxide, which is a liquid at room temperature. Recrystallization from coordinating solvents, such as acetonitrile or tetrahydrofuran, results in the formation of bis-solvate complexes. These compounds are of interest as possible Ziegler-Natta polymerization catalysts.

Article Synopsis
  • New methods for enhancing photocatalytic activity are vital for effective water treatment and have significant environmental implications due to their role in chemical manufacturing.
  • The study created bio-nanocomposite beads using covalent organic frameworks and titanium(IV) oxide nanoparticles in an Alginate-Carboxymethyl cellulose matrix, showing that this blend is ideal for distributing TiO nanoparticles and reducing bandgap.
  • The developed bio-NC beads effectively degrade Methyl violet under UV light, with research indicating that superoxide radicals and electron agents are key players in this process, involving pathways like single oxygen addition and N-de-methylation for decomposition.

Tin oxide (SnO) has been recognized as one of the beneficial components in the electron transport layer (ETL) of lead-halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) due to its high electron mobility. The SnO-based thin film serves for electron extraction and transport in the device, induced by light absorption at the perovskite layer. The focus of this paper is on the heat treatment of a nanoaggregate layer of single-nanometer-scale SnO particles in combination with another metal-dopant precursor to develop a new process for ETL in PSCs.

Most of the known rearrangement reactions of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes (DACs) involve the migration of cationic carbon atom to anionic carbon or heteroatoms in 1,3- or 1,4-positions. In the present work, we observed that spiro DACs based on 1,3-indanedione or 1-indanone moiety undergo intramolecular 1,2-aroyl migration when treated with titanium(IV) chloride to afford 1,4-naphthoquinones and α-naphthols readily. The reactions take place through the formation of putative 1,3-dipolar intermediates, followed by cleavage and migration of the aroyl group to the adjacent carbon to afford the ring-expansion products.
