Electrochemically induced Meerwein arylation as a green strategy for the synthesis of arylbenzoquinone derivatives under batch and flow conditions
Reagents and apparatus
All syntheses were performed at room temperature by applying a constant current using a Chin PS-303 DC power supply. The solution was stirred with a magnetic stirrer (Rodwell, Monostir, England) during electrolysis. FTIR…

Investigation on thermal kinetic behavior of 5 aminotetrazole/sodium periodate gas generator
Thermal decomposition of 5AT
The TG-DTG and DSC curves of 5AT under air atmosphere with a heating rate of 10 °C/min are shown in Fig. 1a. From the DTG curve, it can be observed that there are four weight loss reaction stages during the entire…
