Hydroxyl-Directed Acyl Transfer Catalysis: Our research on acyl transfer catalysis began with an interest in rendering ester hydrolysis hydroxyl-directed, and thereby enable the selective hydrolysis ...

alcohol dehydration and other acid-catalysed processes. Sussman was less successful with ester hydrolysis, and attributes this to the poor contact attainable in the three-phase system ester ...

Upon addition of hydrogen peroxide to Rochelle's salt (sodium potassium tartrate), the hydrogen peroxide decomposes and tartaric acid is oxidized ... Watch out for spattering during the catalyzed ...
