General description

Benzyl glycidyl ether is a glycidyl derivative. Rac-/(R)-benzyl glycidyl ether participates in the synthesis of atactic and isotactic linear poly(benzyl 1,2-glycerol carbonate)s. Biocatalytic resolution of racemic benzyl glycidyl ether by Talaromyces flavus has been described. Resolution of benzyl glycidyl ether to (S)-benzyl glycidyl ether with 30% ee and (R)-3-benzyloxypropane-1,2-diol with 40% ee by whole Bacillus alcalophilus cells has been reported. It reacts with K-, K+(15-crown-5)2 to afford potassium glycidoxide and bibenzyl.

A surface-sizing technique was offered to take full advantage of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and epoxy resins. Two surface-sizing treated MWCNTs were obtained through a ball-milling treatment of amino-functionalized MWCNTs (MWCNT-NH₂) with n-butyl glycidylether (BuGE) and benzyl glycidylether (BeGE). These

Cyclic azasilanes have been synthesized for the purpose of developing coupling agents appropriate for a variety of nanotechnologies including surface modification of nanoparticles, nanocrystals, mesoporous materials and substrates. N-Methyl-aza-2,2,4-trimethylsilacyclopentane is representative of this class of compounds. Preliminary data for the

The synthesis and characterization of atactic and isotactic linear poly(benzyl 1,2-glycerol carbonate)s are reported. The poly(benzyl 1,2-glycerol carbonate)s were obtained via the ring-opening copolymerization of rac-/(R)-benzyl glycidyl ether with CO2 using [SalcyCo(III)X] complexes with high carbonate linkage selectivity and polymer/cyclic
