Application


  • Green Aromatic Epoxidation with an Iron Porphyrin Catalyst for One-Pot Functionalization of Renewable Xylene, Quinoline, and Acridine.: This study explores the green epoxidation of aromatic compounds using an iron porphyrin catalyst, demonstrating effective one-pot functionalization of renewable xylene derivatives, including 3,4-xylenol (Corrêa et al., 2023).

  • A highly expressed odorant receptor from the yellow fever mosquito, AaegOR11, responds to (+)- and (-)-fenchone and a phenolic repellent.: This research identifies an odorant receptor in mosquitoes that responds to various compounds, including 3,4-dimethylphenol, which could have implications for developing new repellents (Lu et al., 2022).
