Engineering TiO2 photocatalysts for enhanced visible-light activity in wastewater treatment applications
Mariam El Mchaouri, Safiya Mallah, Dikra ABOUHAJJOUB et al. · 30 Jul 2025
Wastewater treatment is an environmental imperative due to increasing water stress and ecological crises particularly in view of the inherent limitations of conventional treatment methods, which frequently demonstrate suboptimal efficiency and tend to produce undesirable secondary by-products. In this context, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), especially heterogeneous photocatalysis, have demonstrated significant potential as ecologically and economically…
Formic acid as renewable reagent and product in biomass upgrading
Mahdi Achour, Débora Álvarez‐Hernández, Estela Ruíz-López et al. · 14 Jul 2023
The problems associated with the use of molecular hydrogen (transportation, storage and high cost) have pushed scientists to the pursuit of efficient hydrogen donors, able to reduce chemical bonds in the presence of catalysts through catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) reactions. In this sense, formic acid stands up as one of the most important and safest…
Flow chemistry as green technology for the genesis and use of organometallic reagents in the synthesis of key building blocks and APIs – An update
Philipp Natho, Renzo Luisi · 28 Jun 2023
The advent of flow chemistry and flow microreactor technology in organic synthesis has added a series of options to the toolbox of synthetic chemists by enabling access to chemical reactions, which had hitherto been little explored or impossible in classical batch methods. In this review article, we provide an update on recent reports (published since…
Green and traditional one-pot synthesis techniques for bioactive quinoline derivatives: A review
Manav C. Parmar, Bonny Y. Patel · 5 Jan 2025
The review examines one-pot strategies and their mechanistic approaches for synthesizing the quinoline nucleus from 2009 to 2024, with a focus on their therapeutic potential. The paradigm shifts from conventional synthetic protocols to advanced green methodologies has revolutionized the synthesis of quinoline derivatives. Strategies that adhere to sustainable chemistry principles by minimizing waste, solvent consumption,…
The Ugi reaction as the green alternative towards active pharmaceutical ingredients
Eirini Fotopoulou, Paraskevi Kleio Anastasiou, Christina Tomza et al. · 23 May 2024
Α sustainable access to therapeutics is today imperative. More than ever, synthetic organic chemistry has to embrace all aspects of green chemistry. The utility of multicomponent reactions especially the Ugi reaction is an established approach in drug discovery. Their diversity, speed and effectiveness, combined with their compatibility with the green chemistry principles, render this type…
