Application


  • Plausible PEPPSI catalysts for direct C-H functionalization of five-membered heterocyclic bioactive motifs: synthesis, spectral, X-ray crystallographic characterizations and catalytic activity.: This publication discusses the synthesis and catalytic activities of PEPPSI catalysts, exploring their interactions with compounds including furfuryl acetate. The findings are significant for chemists involved in synthetic and medicinal chemistry (Bensalah et al., 2023).

  • Influence of baking conditions and formulation on furanic derivatives, 3-methylbutanal and hexanal and other quality characteristics of lab-made and commercial biscuits.: Investigating the effects of baking conditions on the formation of furanic compounds such as furfuryl acetate in biscuits, this study links process parameters to flavor and safety outcomes in food production, offering insights into food chemistry and product development (Acquaticci et al., 2024).
