BOMBYKOL REVIEW AND SYNTHESIS

Bombykol is a pheromone released by the female silkworm moth to attract mates. Discovered by Adolf Butenandt in 1959, it was the first pheromone to be characterized chemically. Minute quantities of this pheromone can be used per acre of land to confuse male insects about the location of their female partners, it can thus serve as a lure in traps to effectively remove insects without spraying crops with large amounts of chemicals. Butenandt named the substance after the moth's Latin name Bombyx mori.

WATER OXIDATIONS

WATER OXIDATIONS



Simple and Efficient Iridium(III)-Catalyzed Water Oxidations
The complex made simple:
 Simple and commercially available iridium precursors are tested for their ability to promote water oxidation. The activity values of these precursors towards cerium(IV)-driven oxygen generation from water are comparable with values reported for more complicated iridium-based systems. A turnover frequency of 1700 h−1 is achieved with IrCl3
