Preparation of starch stabilized silver nanoparticles with spatial self-phase modulation properties by laser ablation technique

Silver nanoparticles inside the starch solution have been successfully fabricated by laser ablation of a silver plate immersed in starch solution. The ablation has been done using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser at 10 Hz repetition rate. The starch solution allows for the formation of silver nanoparticles with uniform particle diameters and well dispersed. The ablation was performed at different time durations to study the influence of the laser ablation time on efficiency of particle formation and sizes. The Spatial Self-phase modulation phenomena which can determine the nonlinear optical property of the samples were also investigated for starch solutions containing silver nanoparticles.     

A novel and efficient synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives and the study of their anti-bacterial activity

In this work 4-amino-6-aryl-2-phenyl pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile derivatives were synthesized through a one-pot,three-component reaction of an aldehyde,malononitrile and benzamidine hydrochloride,in the presence of magnetic nano Fe₃O₄ particles as a catalyst under solvent-free conditions.3-Amino-6-aryl- 2-phenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives were prepared through an efficient and environmentally friendly reaction between 4-amino-6-aryl-2-phenylpyrimidine-5-carbonitrile derivatives and hydrazine hydrate and their antibacterial activity has been evaluated.     

One-Pot Green Synthesis of Novel Polysubstituted 1,2-Dihydronaphtho[2,1-b]furans

A simple and highly efficient one-pot protocol for the synthesis of novel polysubstituted 1,2-dihydronaphtho[2,1-b] furans has been developed by three-component coupling reaction of 2-aminopyridines, naphthols, and glyoxal in the presence of guanidinium chloride as a polyfunctional organocatalyst under solvent-free conditions. The protocol avoids the use of expensive catalysts, toxic solvents, and chromatographic separation and provides a wide range of novel dihydronaphthofurans in good to excellent yields.
