A homologous series of four molecules in which a phenol unit is linked covalently to a rhenium(I) tricarbonyl diimine photooxidant via a variable number of p-xylene spacers (n = 0-3) was synthesized and investigated. The species with a single p-xylene

As oil supplies dwindle, there is a growing need to develop new routes to chemical intermediates that utilize alternative feedstocks. We report here a synthesis of para-xylene, one of the highest volume chemicals derived from petroleum, using only ethylene as

Pores for thought: Chemical liquid deposition of silica onto ZSM-5 catalysts led to smaller pore openings that resulted in >90% selectivity for p-xylene over the other xylenes in the catalytic fast pyrolysis of furan and 2-methylfuran (see scheme). The p-xylene
