A catalytic and tert-butoxide ion-mediated amidation of aldehydes with para-nitro azides (2013)
Journal Article
We report here a new catalytic reaction in which, p-nitro azides are acylated by aldehydes to produce amides and molecular nitrogen in a single step. The transformation is believed to proceed via an electron transfer process mediated by the tert-buto...

External finance and trade credit extension in China: does political affiliation make a difference? (2013)
Journal Article
© 2013 Taylor & Francis. Using a dataset of 65,706 Chinese firms over the period 2000–2007, we show that politically affiliated firms benefit from easier access to short-term external finance and extend more trade credit than their non-affiliated c...

The credibility of the Catholic Church as public actor (2013)
Journal Article
This article assumes that there is a profound crisis of credibility in the Catholic Church today. This is distinct from the issue of the credibility of Christian faith or the credibility of theism, for many who believe, indeed many Catholics, are aff...

Adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics of water-insoluble crosslinked ?-cyclodextrin polymer for phenol in aqueous solution (2013)
Journal Article
A water-insoluble ?-cyclodextrin (?-CD) polymer was synthesized by reacting ?-CD with hexamethyl- ene diisocyanate, and its adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics for phenol from aqueous solution was investi- gated. The kinetics of adsorption followe... Read More about Adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics of water-insoluble crosslinked ?-cyclodextrin polymer for phenol in aqueous solution.
Catalytic Hydrotrifluoromethylation of Unactivated Alkenes (2013)
Journal Article
A visible-light-mediated hydrotrifluoromethylation of unactivated alkenes that uses the Umemoto reagent as the CF3 source and MeOH as the reductant is disclosed. This effective transformation operates at room temperature in the presence of 5 mol % Ru... Read More about Catalytic Hydrotrifluoromethylation of Unactivated Alkenes.
