NaNH2 as a Nitrogen Source and Base to Synthesize Triarylamines from Aryl Halides Using Pd-Catalyzed C-N Coupling.

Triarylamines (TAAs) are excellent core structures for multifunctional materials. Reversible single-electron oxidation is the key to versatile applications. Synthesizing these from feedstock materials is inevitable. Here, we report the one-pot synthesis of TAAs from aryl halides and inexpensive NaNH2 as a nitrogen source and base (dual role). The Pd/Xantphos catalytic system shows excellent selectivity toward TAAs from aryl bromides without adding organic amines and an additional base. Various para substituents on the aryl ring show good functional group tolerance in the presence of NaNH2, resulting in moderate to excellent yield (20-91%). Even though the meta-substituted aryl bromides give TAA products in moderate to excellent yields (20-81%), the ortho substitution leads to only diarylamine products. TAAs from aryl chlorides can be achieved only by changing the ligand to Xphos. The mechanistic investigation suggests that three sequential C-N cross-coupling reactions give the TAA products in the presence of NaNH2. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of TAAs and corresponding radicals were tunable based on substitution patterns.

Asymmetric Organocatalysed Synthesis of (R)-Mandelic Acid Esters and α-Alkoxy Derivatives from Commercial Sources.

Optically active mandelic acid esters represent a highly valuable class of building blocks in organic synthesis and recurrent motifs embedded in bioactive compounds and drugs. Herein, we provide an enantioselective one-pot synthesis based on Knoevenagel condensation/asymmetric epoxidation/domino ring-opening hydrolysis (DROH) sequence to the crude mandelic acids, which underwent a final esterification step to (R)-methyl mandelates. These products have been obtained in good to high overall yield and enantioselectivity, using commercially and widely available reagents and catalyst including aldehydes, phenylsulfonyl acetonitrile, cumyl hydroperoxide, water and an epi-quinine-derived urea as the organocatalyst. Moreover, the versatility of the process has been demonstrated to prepare the corresponding α-alkoxy esters in highly enantioselective manner, when using primary alcohols in a domino ring-opening esterification (DROE) step. This system is a first example of non-enzymatic catalytic one-pot protocol which allows a straightforward asymmetric synthesis of highly valuable mandelic acid derivatives from aldehyde feedstocks.

One-pot fabrication of high-entropy heterostructure cathode materials with excellent anti-poisoning properties in solid oxide fuel cells

Degradation of cathode performance in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), which is poisoned by atmospheric CO2 and volatilized Cr from steel connecting plates, is a key factor limiting the long-term stable operation. In this work, high entropy heterostructure La0.5Ba0.5Fe0.2Co0.2Ni0.2Cu0.2Mn0.2O3-δ@Ba2CuO3 (HE-LBF@BCO) is designed and prepared by the one-pot method to improve the anti-poisoning ability of the electrode against CO2 and Cr. Meanwhile, the Ba2CuO3 (BCO) heterostructure formed by self-assembly using atomic size effect improves the electrochemical performance. The peak power density with HE-LBF@BCO cathode reaches 789 mW cm−2 at 800 °C with the polarization impedance of 0.34 Ω cm2. To further extend the three-phase interface and enhance oxygen catalytic activity, for HE-LBF@BCO-Gd0.1Ce0.9O2-δ(GDC) composite cathode, the peak power density reaches 789 mW cm−2 and the polarization impedance decreases to 0.16 Ω cm2 at 800 °C, exhibiting a brilliant application potential of the high entropy cathode. More importantly, HE-LBF@BCO-GDC shows an outstanding stability both in CO2 and Cr-containing atmosphere. After testing in Cr-containing atmosphere at 0.8V, the current density of the single cell with HE-LBF@BCO-GDC cathode decreases from 250.86 to 208.64 mA cm−2 at 700 °C. The results confirm the design of high-entropy heterojunction electrode materials provides a new strategy to address the enhancement of SOFC performance.

Nano-aluminum double coated with copper and HTPB by one pot method and its catalysis on AP

ABSTRACT Organic-inorganic double-coated aluminum nanopowders (HTPB/Cu/nAl) were synthesized using a one-pot method. The morphology and structure were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The analysis revealed that Cu particles were uniformly dispersed around the nAl core, while HTPB formed a coating on the Cu/nAl surface. The thermal oxidation kinetics and catalytic effects on ammonium perchlorate (AP) were investigated through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results indicated a 9% increase in the active aluminum content of the double-coated nanopowders compared to uncoated nAl, and a reduction in the average activation energy for thermal oxidation from 297.75 kJ·mol-1 to 218.85 kJ·mol-1. The HTPB coating enhanced the friction and impact sensitivity of the Cu/nAl particles. Adding 5% HTPB/Cu/nAl to AP advanced the low- and high-temperature decomposition peaks by 5°C and 40°C, respectively, while reducing the activation energy of AP from 85.61 kJ·mol-1 to 79.79 kJ·mol-1. This addition significantly influenced the thermal decomposition of AP, improving combustion efficiency and enhancing compatibility within composite propellant formulations.

Asymmetric Construction of Chiral 2-Azetines and Axially Chiral Tetrasubstituted Allenes via Phosphine Catalysis.

Chiral 2-azetines and allenes are highly valuable structural units in natural products and useful chemicals. However, enantioselective synthesis of both 2-azetines and allenes has been extremely challenging. Herein, we present asymmetric construction of chiral 2-azetines (70-98% yields and up to 96% ee) through chiral phosphine-catalyzed [2+2] annulation of yne-enones with sulfamate-derived cyclic imines. These 2-azetines were easily transformed into chiral allenes upon treatment with Et3SiH, BF3•Et2O and water at rt for 2 minutes. Based on the above transformations, a concise one-pot synthetic procedure combining [2+2] annulation of yne-enones and sulfamate-derived cyclic imines under phosphine catalysis and sequential reduction/isomerization/ring-opening reaction through Et3SiH, BF3•Et2O and water was thus set up, providing axially chiral tetrasubstituted allenes in satisfactory yields and enantioselectivities (56-90% yields and up to 91% ee).

Design, synthesis, and anti-breast cancer activity evaluation of novel 3-cyanopyridine derivatives as PIM-1 inhibitors.

A novel series of cyanopyridines 7a-j were synthesized via a one-pot multicomponent reaction of arylidene 4 with ammonium acetate 5 and respective methylaryl/heterylketones 6a-j in ethanol using vanillin as a natural starting material. Moreover, the regioselective alkylation reaction was studied by the treatment of cyanopyridines 7a-f and 7j with CH3I in the presence of K2CO3 in DMF to afford O-methylcyanopyridines 8a-g (major) and N-methylcyanopyridines 9a-g (minor), whereas bipyridine 7h gave bipyridinium iodide salt 10. All of the designed cyanopyridines were evaluated as anti-breast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines via PIM Kinase inhibitory activity, and the results displayed that some of them showed high activities, especially compounds 7h and 8f, which showed excellent activities against MCF-7 with IC50 values of 1.89 and 1.69 μM, respectively, more potent than the reference drug doxorubicin. Mechanistically, compounds 7h and 8f exhibited strong in vitro PIM-1 kinase inhibitory activity with an IC50 of 0.281 and 0.58 μM, respectively, compared to the reference staurosporine. Moreover, compound 7h arrested the tumor cells at the S phase and caused cell death mainly by inducing early and late apoptosis. Molecular docking studies against PIM-1 revealed good binding modes of the synthesized compound and showed agreement with the biological results.

Nickel Phosphide: The Effect of Phosphorus Content on the Activity and Stability toward Oxygen Evolution Reaction in Alkaline Medium.

In this work a systematic study of the effect of the metal to phosphorus ratio in Ni-P nanoparticles on their catalytic activity with respect to the OER is reported. To this end, nickel phosphide nanoparticles are synthesized through two different synthesis routes, one involving in-situ phosphidation and one involving ex-situ phosphidation. In-situ phosphidation is performed via two steps route in a one-pot synthesis, in which Ni nanoparticles are formed at 220 °C, but not isolated, and then transformed to phase-pure either Ni12P5 or Ni2P nanocrystallites. In the second synthesis method (ex-situ phosphidation), nickel nanoparticles with an excess amount of trioctylphosphine (TOP) as a capping agent are synthesized and separated from the solution, then subsequently annealed in three different atmospheres, leading to the formation of three types of NixPy viz. [NixPy-H2/Ar], [NixPy-Ar], and [NixPy-air]. [NixPy-air] nanoparticles shows the best electrocatalytic activity among the annealed nanoparticles in Ar and H2/Ar but lower than Ni12P5 nanoparticles. However, [NixPy-air] shows very high stability in comparison with other synthesized nanoparticles. Moreover, the effect of the adventitious and spiked Fe in the electrolyte is studied on the electrocatalytic activity of all synthesized nanoparticles.

Shape-Selective Zeolites for Tandem CO2 Hydrogenation-Carbonylation Reactions.

The valorization of carbon dioxide as a C1 building block in C-C bond forming reactions is a critical link on the road to carbon-circular chemistry. Activation of this inert molecule through reduction with H2 to carbon monoxide in the reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction can be followed by a wide spectrum of consecutive carbonylation reactions, but the RWGS is severely equilibrium limited at the moderate temperatures of carbonylations. Here we successfully reconcile both reactions in one pot, while avoiding incompatibilities through a zeolite-based compartmentalized approach. More specifically, Pt encapsulated in a small-pore LTA zeolite selectively generates carbon monoxide in mild reaction conditions; an ensuing one-pot carbonylation reaction allows to shift the equilibrium through continuous consumption of CO. Moreover, the zeolite encapsulation avoids undesired reactions like hydrogenation of the olefin reactant through a molecular sieving effect. This strategy was first studied in-depth for Rh-catalyzed olefin hydroformylation with CO2/H2, affording aldehydes in good yields with high regioselectivities. The methodology was then extended to a variety of carbonylations using CO2 for the synthesis of bulk and fine chemicals.

Design, Synthesis, Antibacterial, and Antifungal Evaluation of a New Series of Quinazoline - Thiazole and/or Quinazoline - Triazole Hybrids as Bioactive Heterocycles.

Herein, a one-pot reaction between cyclohexanone, thiourea, and 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde allowed to prepare hexahydroquinazoline-2(1H)-thione4 firstly, which followed by reacting with hydrazine hydrate to produce the corresponding 2-hydrazinylhexahydroquinazoline 6. Interesting analogs of thiazolo[3,2-a]quinazoline 713 where obtained when hexahydroquinazoline-2(1H)-thione 4 reacted with 1,2-dibromoethane, chloroacetyl chloride, bromoacetic acid, bromoacetic acid/4-chlorobenzaldehyde, 2-bromopropionic acid, ethyl bromo cyanoacetate, and/or bromomalononitrile; respectively. While triazolo[4,3-a] quinazoline 14-16 were created when 2-hydrazinylhexahydroquinazoline 6 reacted with triethyl orthoformate, acetic anhydride, and carbon disulfide respectively. Numerous spectroscopy tests, including FT-IR, NMR (1H &13 C), and MS spectrum, proved all the newly produced analogs. Additionally, the new analogs were examined for their antibacterial and antifungal properties against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans. It was discovered that triazolo[4,3-a] quinazoline analogs 14-16 have superior bacterial and fungal activity when compared to the corresponding conventional doses of Streptomycin andGriseofulvin. Towards Candida albicans; compounds 14, 15, and 16 increase activity with 1.14 %, 1.15 %, and 1.21 %, respectively more than griseofulvin.While, for Staphylococcus aureus; compounds 14, 15, and 16 increase activity with 1.5 %, 1.5 %, and 1.7 %, respectively more than streptomycin. Morever, for Escherichia coli; compounds 14, 15, and 16 increase activity with 1.19 %, 1.21 %, and 1.22 %, respectively more than streptomycin. Finally, structure activity relationships show that quinazoline derivatives exhibit higher activity when fused to pyrazole ring 14-16 as compared when fused thiophene ring 7-13.

Iron-Catalyzed One-Pot Cascade Reactions of Oximes with Inactivated Saturated Ketones: Entry to Highly Substituted Pyridines.

An iron-catalyzed oxidative [3 + 3] annulation of oxime esters with inactivated saturated ketones is described. This cascade strategy allows one-step rapid synthesis of various structurally important pyridines through an oxidative dehydrogenation/annulation/oxidative aromatization sequence via direct α,β-dehydrogenation of simple saturated ketones followed by annulation with oximes. This method shows good functional group tolerance, readily accessible starting materials, a wide substrate scope, high chemoselectivity, and no need for extra stoichiometric oxidant and is also applicable to the late-stage functionalization of natural products.

HFIP-Mediated Synthesis of 4-Aryl-NH-1,2,3-Triazoles and 1,5-Disubstituted 1,2,3-Triazolyl Glycoconjugates.

We herein report a multicomponent reaction for the synthesis of N-unsubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles and N-substituted-1,2,3 triazoles from the reaction of aldehydes, nitroalkanes, and sodium azides/glycosyl azides in the presence of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol, a hydrogen bond-donating reaction medium. This three-component reaction provides a metal-free strategy for sequentially forming one C-C and two C-N bonds in a one-pot fashion. One-pot mild reaction condition, operational simplicity, wide substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, easy purification, high reaction yields, and altogether excellent regioselectivity are the notable advantages of this 1,2,3-triazole-forming protocol. Moreover, this protocol provides practical access to the gram-scale synthesis of potent inhibitors of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1.

Ultrasensitive Room Temperature Formaldehyde Sensors Based on F Doped ZnO Nanostructures Activated by UV Light.

It is urgent to develop an ultrasensitive formaldehyde (HCHO) sensor that can operate at room temperature and has a low detection limit. Metal oxide semiconductors are excellent gas sensitive materials. Therefore, in this paper, we present the synthesis of fluorine (F) doped zinc oxide (ZnO) porous nanomaterials through a straightforward one-pot method with the optimization of F doping levels to achieve the detection of low concentrations of HCHO under UV light at room temperature. Under 375 nm UV light, the sensor exhibits a response value of 386% to 10 ppm of HCHO, which is 2.6 times higher than that of pure ZnO, and its detection limit is as low as 75 ppb. It has excellent selectivity, stability, and moisture resistance, which can meet the requirements of HCHO detection in daily life. Analysis reveals that doping ZnO with F not only increases the material's specific surface area but also introduces active sites. Furthermore, it alters the state of HCHO on the material's surface from physical adsorption to chemical adsorption. The above reasons together enhance the adsorption of HCHO on the gas sensitive material, thereby improving its gas sensitivity performance. Overall, this work demonstrates that F-doped ZnO is a potential material for ultrasensitive HCHO sensors and provides insights into the interpretation of the effect of doping on the gas sensitivity properties of materials.

Ethyl biodiesel production from crude soybean oil using enzymatic degumming-transesterification associated process

Brazil is one of the largest soybean producers in the world. Biodiesel production in Brazil (specially soybean oil biodiesel) has been growing every year and demanding more effective and sustainable technologies, which is the case of enzymatic processes. Enzymatic degumming could be an alternative to provide better quality products, before biodiesel production but also, in a one reaction step as a proposal to reduce time and costs. Therefore, this work was aimed at evaluating enzymatic degumming (previously optimized) of crude soybean oil using a phospholipase cocktail associated with transesterification using lipase from Aspergillus oryzae for ethyl biodiesel production. For this, transesterification was optimized for ethanol:oil (E:O) ratio, water and lipase % through a central composite rotatable design (CCRD). Optimal conditions were used to evaluate two degumming-transesterification associated processes: i) a one-pot reaction (OPR) where degumming and transesterification were performed at the same reactor; and ii) a two-pot reaction (TPR) where oil was first degummed, followed by transesterification. The optimal transesterification condition were achieved for E:O = 4.48:1, water = 3.41 % and lipase = 2.43 %, where 97 % fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE) were obtained. Both OPR and TPR provided biodiesels with FAEE > 94 %: TPR was the best with 97.5 % and 99.98 % before and after biodiesel purification. Mineral elements (including phosphorus) and other impurities (anions) were low, and within quality standards. Glycerol produced also presented very low content of impurities which is quite advantageous. Although lipase achieves good conversion to FAEE (95.7 ± 0.29 %) using crude oil (Control), the final biodiesel carries many impurities (P=80.07 ± 0.1 mg/kg), thus requiring subsequent biodiesel purification steps. In addition, the high impurity content generates a biodiesel that does not comply with ANP legislative standards, P<10 mg/kg. The use of enzymatic degumming in the biodiesel production process generates a biodiesel with low impurities and higher final quality, in addition to being a process that generates less effluent. Enzymatic degumming was essential for obtaining high quality biodiesel and its association with transesterification showed to be a great option for decreasing time and costs for biodiesel production.

Cascade [3 + 2]/[4 + 2] Cycloaddition of Enaminones with Vinylene Carbonate for the Synthesis of Functionalized Pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline Derivatives.

We developed a protocol for the synthesis of functionalized pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline derivatives (PIQDs) 3 from enaminones 1 using vinylene carbonate 2. This strategy involved [3 + 2] and [4 + 2] cycloadditions via heating a mixture of substrates 1 with vinylene carbonate 2 and DCE at 60 °C, catalyzed by [Cp*RhCl2]2 and oxidized with Cu(OAc)2 and AgSbF6 promoted by NaOAc. As we increased the reaction temperature to 110 °C under the same conditions, we synthesized PIQDs 4 through sequential C-H activation, alkene insertion, migratory insertion, C-N reductive elimination, β-O elimination, and finally dehydration. As a result, a series of PIQDs 3-4 were generated by forming four bonds (2 C-C and 2 C-N bonds) in a single step. This strategy realizes the synthesis of linear molecules with potential biological activity, specifically natural-like heterocycles (3-4). It expands the application of vinylene carbonate as a C2 synthon in the construction of pyrrole and isoquinoline skeletons for the synthesis of functionalized PIQDs in combinatorial and parallel syntheses via one-pot reactions.

Synthesis of cubic mesoporous silica SBA16 functionalized with carboxylic acid in a one-pot process for efficient removal of wastewater containing Cu2+: Adsorption isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamics

Wastewater containing heavy metal ions, such as Cu2+, that are released into the environment will cause irreparable damage to the nature and human health of living. It is, therefore, absolutely crucial to remove these toxic ions from water. Herein, this paper utilizes the cyano group as a functional reagent to prepare carboxyl-functionalized SBA16 for adsorbing Cu2+ in water. In this paper, 2-cyanoethyltriethoxysilane is employed as a functionalizing reagent to prepare carboxyl-functionalized SBA16 through a one-pot method. The prepared material was characterized using various techniques, such as WXRD, TEM, FT-IR, and XPS. The results indicated that the introduction of the functionalizing reagent did not disrupt the original cage-like cubic mesoporous structure (Im3m symmetry) of SBA16. Crucial adsorption factors, namely pH, adsorbent dosage, Cu2+ initial concentration, and contact time, affecting the removal of Cu2+ were monitored and the optimum adsorption conditions were determined. Isotherm and kinetic investigations were conducted and a non-linear fitting method of experimental data was used to obtain isotherm and kinetic parameters. Maximum adsorption capacity reaches 181.3 mg g−1 was achieved in 60 min at pH = 3. Adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherm followed the pseudo-second-order (R2 = 0.999) and Langmuir (R2 = 0.999) models, respectively. This suggests that the adsorption process primarily involves chemisorption and monolayer coverage. Thermodynamic parameters showed the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the adsorption process. After 5 cycles, the adsorbent still maintains a good adsorption capacity for Cu2+. This suggests promising applications for the adsorbent in treating wastewater containing Cu2+.

BackgroundGastric cancer (GC) is still a serious threat to human health worldwide. As a natural compound, resveratrol has been proven to have anti-tumor activity, and the nano-delivery carrier has shown its excellent ability to retain and control drug release. MethodsRes@ZIF-90 underwent synthesis via a one-pot method and subsequent characterization encompassing Dynamic Light Scattering, Scanning Electron Microscope, Transmission Electron Microscope, and UV–vis absorption spectroscope. The release of resveratrol from Res@ZIF-90 across varied pH environments were delineated employing High Performance Liquid Chromatography. The mitochondrial targeting of Res@ZIF-90 was scrutinized utilizing Fluorescent Inverted Microscopy. The cytotoxic impact of Res@ZIF-90 on HGC-27 cells was evaluated through CCK-8 assay, Live/Dead staining, scratch test, and JC-1 assay. Furthermore, the HGC-27 tumor-bearing mice model was established to explore the anti-tumor effect of Res@ZIF-90. ResultsZIF-90 can effectively release resveratrol under acidic (pH = 5.5) conditions. In addition, Res@ZIF-90 could be taken up by cells and localized into mitochondria. ZIF-90 has no obvious cytotoxicity at the experimental concentration, while Res@ZIF-90 was more cytotoxic to HGC-27 cells than free resveratrol at the same concentration. Res@ZIF-90 significantly reduced the expressions of PGCS 1α, TFAM, PINK1, and COX IV, which together induced mitochondrial homeostasis disorders and inhibited the tumor growth of HGC-27 tumor-bearing mice in vivo. ConclusionsRes@ZIF-90 can inhibit the progression of gastric cancer by targeting the mitochondria of gastric cancer cells and disrupting mitochondrial homeostasis to produce cytotoxic effects. Res@ZIF-90 may be a promising antitumor drug with potential application value.

Efficient one-pot green synthesis of carboxymethyl cellulose/folic acid embedded ultrafine CeO2 nanocomposite and its superior multi-drug resistant antibacterial activity and anticancer activity.

Due to the prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria and the ongoing shortage of novel antibiotics as well as the challenge of treating breast cancer, the therapeutic and clinical sectors are consistently seeking effective nanomedicines. The incorporation of metal oxide nanoparticles with biological macromolecules and an organic compound emerges as a promising strategy to enhance breast cancer treatment and antibacterial activity against drug-resistant bacteria in various biomedical applications. This study aims to synthesize a unique nanocomposite consisting of CeO2 embedded with folic acid and carboxymethyl cellulose (CFC NC) via a green precipitation method using Moringa oleifera. Various spectroscopic and microscopic analyses are utilized to decipher the physicochemical characteristics of CFC NC and active phytocompounds of Moringa oleifera. Antibacterial study against MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) demonstrated a higher activity (95.6%) for CFC NC compared to its counterparts. The impact is attributed to reactive oxygen species (ROS), which induces a strong photo-oxidative stress, leading to the destruction of bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of CFC NC are determined as 600µg/mL and 1000µg/mL, respectively. The anticancer activity against breast cancer cell resulted in the IC50 concentration of 10.8μg/mL and 8.2μg/mL for CeO2 and CFC NC respectively.The biocompatibility test was conducted against fibroblast cells and found 85% of the cells viable, with less toxicity. Therefore, the newly synthesized CFC NC has potential applications in healthcare and industry, enhancing human health conditions.

Bi2Te3/Carbon Nanotube Hybrid Nanomaterials as Catalysts for Thermoelectric Hydrogen Peroxide Generation

Harnessing waste heat from environmental or industrial sources presents a promising approach to eco-friendly and sustainable chemical synthesis. In this study, we introduce a thermoelectrocatalytic (TECatal) system capable of utilizing even small amounts of heat for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production. We developed a nanohybrid structure, combining carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and Bi2Te3 nanoflakes (Bi2Te3/CNTs), through a one-pot synthesis method. Bi2Te3, as a thermoelectric (TE) material, generates charge carriers under a temperature gradient via the Seebeck effect, enabling them to participate in surface redox reactions. However, the rapid recombination of these charge carriers greatly limits the TECatal activity. In the Bi2Te3/CNTs nanohybrid system, the introduction of CNTs substantially enhances the efficiency of H2O2 production, as the strong bonding between CNTs and Bi2Te3, along with the excellent conductivity of CNTs, facilitates charge carrier separation and transport, as confirmed by TE electrochemical tests. This study underscores the significant potential of thermoelectric nanomaterials for converting waste heat into green chemical synthesis.
