This study investigates how a variety of oxidants can be used to chemically modify ground peanut hulls. Low density and high density hulls were modified using three different oxidizing environments: an alkaline peroxide...
When primary amines are reacted with boroxines in solvents such as diethyl ether or THF, a dative bond forms between the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom and a boron atom in a predictable manner. However, when the...
