Generation of acid sites by incorporation of cobalt in the AFR structure

Pure CoAPO4-40 and CoAPSO-40 samples have been synthesized. The CoII <=> CoIII framework transformation, and hence the number of potential acid sites has been evaluated by spectroscopic techniques and using m-xylene isomerization as model reaction.

Cleavage (deprotection) of selenoacetals to carbonyl compoundes: a comparative study

Phenyl and methyls (1) have found increasing interest in organic synthesis. They have been prepared from aldehydes or ketones (2) and selenols, from 1,1-bis(phenylseleno)-alkanes, and from 1,1,1-tris(seleno)-alkanes (5).
