Ceric Ammonium Nitrate Immobilized on Linoleic Acid-Functionalized FeO Nanoparticles as a Magnetically Recyclable Catalyst for C3-Selective Formylation of N-H Indoles.

In this study, a novel magnetically recyclable catalyst was developed by immobilizing ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) onto linoleic acid-functionalized magnetite nanoparticles (FeO-LA@CAN). The catalyst was thoroughly characterized using FT-IR, XRD, TEM, SEM-EDX, VSM, TGA, and N adsorption-desorption analyses. The catalytic efficiency of FeO-LA@CAN was evaluated in the C3-selective formylation of free (N-H) indole derivatives, exhibiting excellent activity and broad substrate scope.

Synergistic effects of fatty acids and phenolic compounds on enhancing resistant starch formation in rice starch.

Starch-lipid complexes are classified as resistant starch (RS) type 5 and their formation can be enhanced through the synergistic action of fatty acids and phenolic compounds.
