Anti-MVK polyclonal antibody

Activated alkene dependent one-pot, three-component aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman (aza-MBH) reaction of ferrocenealdehyde afforded simple aza-MBH adduct of ferrocenealdehyde, unusual piperidine, beta-amino acid residue, and gamma-ketoester derivatives of ferrocene in good yield. The synthetic protocol with MVK has led to an unexpected ferrocenyl piperidine derivative in an excellent yield via diastereoselective domino aza-Michael/double Aldol pathway. Plausible mechanisms for the formation of unusual products and diastereoselectivity have also been described. The products can be used for the concise synthesis of ferrocenyl nitrogen heterocycles and bioconjugates.

A set of ceria, ceria-zirconia (Ce 80 at.%, Zr 20 at.%), ceria-praseodymia (Ce 80 at.%, Pr 20 at.%) and ceria-zirconia-praseodymia (Ce 80 at.%, Zr 10 at.% and Pr 10 at.%) catalysts has been prepared by the solution combustion synthesis (SCS). The effects of Zr and Pr as dopants on ceria have been studied in CO and soot oxidation reactions. All the prepared catalysts have been characterized by complementary techniques, including XRD, FESEM, N-2 physisorption at -196 degrees C, H-2-temperature-programmed reduction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to investigate the relationships between the structure and composition of materials and their catalytic performance. Better results for CO oxidation have been obtained with mixed oxides (performance scale, Ce80Zr10Pr10 > Ce80Zr20 > Ce80Pr20) rather than pure ceria, thus confirming the beneficial role of multicomponent catalysts for this prototypical reaction. Since CO oxidation occurs via a Mars-van Krevelen (MvK)-type mechanism over ceria-based catalysts, it appears that the presence of both Zr and Pr species into the ceria framework improves the oxidation activity, via collective properties, such as electrical conductivity and surface or bulk oxygen anion mobility. On the other hand, this positive effect becomes less prominent in soot oxidation, since the effect of catalyst morphology prevails.
