Coffee grounds contain up to 20 wt% oil. They were evaluated as a lubricant feedstock with an eye toward #CircularEconomy. Authors tested properties of coffee waste-derived oil ITO friction &wear, comparing to the industry standard PAO made from ethylene.

Multicomponent domino synthesis of unsymmetrical 1,4-diaryl-1,4-dihydropyridines in the #ball-mill: a contribution to medicinal #mechanochemistry. Congrats @ColacinoEvelina ! #greenchemistry #BenignByDesign https://t.co/ul4xlRgV4c

[GCLR @GCLRjournal]

#BallMilling was used in a #Suzuki reaction to prepare a class of polymers used in optoelectronic devices like #LEDs. EcoScale, an open-source web-based #GreenChemistry calculator, was used to compare this process to a typical solvent-based synthesis. https://t.co/OxLX0HyrJ4

We've taken some time off from social media postings at GCLR, so let's review the highlights of the latter part of 2022. Vol 15 Issue 4 was a special issue on green organic #mechanochemistry. https://t.co/eByNfhFfj6

This improved synthesis BMPCL, a caprolatone derived inimer, cuts two columns, replaces Cr(VI) with a Swern oxidation, & improves yield by 50%. BMPCL has been used to make branched copolymers via ROP & CRP since 1999. Congrats @GetzlerChem! https://t.co/5A6HvKCbfa
