Synthesis, structure investigation, spectral characteristics and biological activities of some novel azodyes

Four novel azo compounds were synthesized; o-phenylazo- (C(14)H(13)N(3)O(2)) (I), p-bromo-o-phenylazo- (C(14)H(13)BrN(3)O(2)) (II), p-methoxy-o-phenaylazo- (C(15)H(16)N(3)O(3)) (III) and p-nitro-o-phenylazo-p-acetamidophenol (C(14)H(13)N(4)O(4)) (IV). These compounds were carefully investigated using elemental analyses, UV-vis, FT-IR, (1)H NMR and mass spectra. Also, the effects of p-substituents such as bromo, methoxy and nitro groups on the mass fragmentation pathways of these dyes were studied using Hammet's effects. This research aimed chiefly to threw lights on the structures-stability relationship of four novel newly prepared azo derivatives of p-acetoamidophenol. The data obtained referred to the variation of mass fragmentation pathways with the variation of p-substituent of these dyes which can be used in industry for various dyeing purposes. This variation is also correlated and verified by molecular orbital calculations which were done on ionic forms of these dyes using semi empirical PM3 program. The biological activities of these dyes were also investigated and its structure relationship was correlated.     

Study of some phenolic-iodine redox polymeric products by thermal analyses and mass spectrometry

Summary This paper describes the use of the mass spectrometry (MS), thermal analyses (TA) and other physico-chemical methods to investigate the structure of two newly synthesized phenolic-iodine derivative polymeric products. These two products are formed as a result of redox-interaction of adrenaline hydrogen tartrate (AHT, I) with iodate (IO^-₃) and periodate (IO^-₄). The characterization of the two products were achieved satisfactorily by using the above tools and their proposed general formulae, were found to be C₅₂H₆₇O₃₆N₄I (AHT- IO^-₃, II) and C₂₆H₃₄O₁₈N₂I₂(AHT- IO^-₄, III). The fragmentation behavior of the main compound (AHT) in MS and TA (TG and DTA) techniques was investigated and compared. The results obtained were used to explain the fragmentation of the products AHT- IO^-₃and AHT- IO^-₄in mass spectrometry and thermal analyses techniques. The stabilities of different fragments were discussed. The results indicate that the two techniques are supporting each other in which the mass spectrometry provides the structural information in gas phase while the thermal analyses provides the quantitative fragmentation in the solid-state.     

On using the modified variational iteration method for solving the nonlinear coupled equations in the mathematical physics

This paper applied the modified variational iteration method to the nonlinear coupled partial differential equations via the generalized nonlinear Hirota Satsuma coupled KdV equations, the nonlinear coupled Kortewge–de Vries KdV equations and the nonlinear shallow water equations together with the initial conditions. The proposed modification is made by introducing Adomian’s polynomials in the correct functional. The suggested algorithm is quite efficient and is practically well suited for use in such problems. The proposed iterative scheme finds the solution without any discritization, liberalization, perturbation, or restrictive assumptions.     

The travelling wave solutions for non-linear initial-value problems using the homotopy perturbation method

In this article, we have used the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) to find the travelling wave solutions for some non-linear initial-value problems in the mathematical physics. These problems consist of the Burgers–Fisher equation, the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation, the coupled Schordinger KdV equations and the long–short wave resonance equations together with initial conditions. The results of these problems reveal that the HPM is very powerful, effective, convenient and quite accurate to the systems of non-linear equations. It is predicted that this method can be found widely applicable in engineering and physics.     

Divergent reaction pathways for one-pot,three-component synthesis of novel 4H-pyrano[3,2-h]quinolines under ultrasound irradiation

The present paper deal with the multi-component condensation of 8-hydroxy quinoline, aromatic aldehydes, and sulfone derivatives catalyzed by p-toluenesulfonic acid for the synthesis of a series of 4H-pyrano[3,2-h]quinoline derivatives in ethanol under ultrasonic irradiations. We provide a series of quinoline derivatives containing sulfone moiety interesting for biological screening tests. The reactions were carried out under both conventional and ultrasonic irradiation conditions. In general, improvement in rates and yields were observed when reactions were carried out under sonication compared with classical silent conditions. Also, also, sonochemical reaction give different reaction pathway other than silent reaction. These remarkable effects appeared in sonicated reactions can be reasonably interpreted in terms of acoustic cavitation phenomenon. Structures of the products were established on analytical and spectral data.
