A facile synthesis of homoallylic alcohols is achieved by the allylation of aldehydes with allylic metal reagents or allyl halides using copper fluorapatite (CuFAP) as catalyst under mild reaction conditions. A variety of aldehydes were converted to the corresponding homoallylic alchohols, demonstrating the versatility of the reaction. 相似文献
The first hydrosilylation of esters catalyzed by a well defined iron complex has been developed. Esters are converted to the corresponding alcohols at 100 °C, under solvent‐free conditions and visible light activation. 相似文献

A combustion technique is used to study the synthesis of carbon nano tubes from waste plastic as a precursor and Ni/Mo/MgO as a catalyst. The catalytic activity of three components Ni, Mo, MgO is measured in terms of amount of carbon product obtained. Different proportions of metal ions are optimized using mixture experiment in Design expert software. D-optimal design technique is adopted due to nonsimplex region and presence of constraints in the mixture experiment. The activity of the components is observed to be interdependent and the component Ni is found to be more effective. The catalyst containing Ni0.8Mo0.1MgO0.1 yields more carbon product. The structure of catalyst and CNTs are studied by using SEM, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy. SEM analysis shows the formation of longer CNTs with average diameter of 40–50 nm. 相似文献
In spite of the prominence and robustness of iris recognition systems, iris images acquisition using heterogeneous cameras/sensors, is the prime concern in deploying them for wide-scale applications. The textural qualities of iris samples (images) captured through distinct sensors substantially differ due to the differences in illumination and the underlying hardware that yields intra-class variation within the iris dataset. This paper examines three miscellaneous configurations of convolution and residual blocks to improve cross-domain iris recognition. Further, the finest architecture amongst three is identified by the Friedman test, where the statistical differences in proposed architectures are identified based on the outcomes of Nemeny and Bonferroni-Dunn tests. The quantitative performances of these architectures are perceived on several experiments simulated on two iris datasets; ND-CrossSensor-Iris-2013 and ND-iris-0405. The finest model is referred to as “Collaborative Convolutional Residual Network (CCRNet)” and is further examined on several experiments prepared in similar and cross-domains. Results depict that least two error rates reported by CCRNet are 1.06% and 1.21% that enhances the benchmark for the state of the arts. This is due to fast convergence and rapid weights updation achieved from convolution and residual connections, respectively. It helps in recognizing the micro-patterns existing within the iris region and results in better feature discrimination among large numbers of iris subjects.
