Environmentally benign methods for the industrial production of chemicals are urgently needed. Researchers recently described such a procedure for the synthesis of formaldehyde, and have now improved ...

The catalytic aldol condensation reaction represents a pivotal method for synthesising acrylic acid through the coupling of simple carbonyl compounds such as acetic acid, formaldehyde and methanol.

Formaldehyde (HCHO) is an important precursor to many other materials and chemical compounds which can be used in the production of industrial resin, urea formaldehyde resin, melamine resin, phenol ...

Environmentally benign methods for the industrial production of chemicals are urgently needed. Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich researchers recently described such a procedure for the ...
