Abstract In this work, we report on the development of a DNA-based piezoelectric biosensor specific for the detection of an amplicon
of the aflD gene of Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. Expression of this gene is consistently correlated with a strain’s ability to produce aflatoxins that are considered very
potent liver carcinogens in various animal species and humans. The DNA biosensor has been characterized with synthetic oligonucleotides
and amplicons. Moreover, it has been applied to the analysis of real samples consisting of amplicons of DNA extracted from
flours and feed contaminated with A. flavus and A. parasiticus.

Abstract A series of ethyl 2-(substituted)-9-cyclopropyl-4-fluoro-6-oxo-1H-imidazo[4,5-h]quinoline-7-carboxylates has been prepared from ethyl 7,8-diamino-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylate via thermally induced
reactions with model alkanoic acids or via microwave-assisted cyclocondensation with some arene carboxaldehydes. Acid-catalysed
hydrolysis of the resulting ester derivatives furnished the corresponding imidazoquinoline-7-carboxylic acids. The structures
of these new acid and ester derivatives are based on microanalytical and spectral (IR, MS, and NMR) data.

Abstract Two mechanisms for the isomerization of cyclopenta[fg]aceanthrylene to acefluoranthene were revealed. The first pathway occurs via a cyclobutyl intermediate, whereas the second
pathway involves a transition state that contains an sp3-hybridized carbon atom. Both patterns show that the Stone-Wales rearrangement requires extremely high activation energy and
indicate that the isomerization process can occur only under a drastic temperature regime.

Abstract New imidazo[4,5-a]acridone derivatives were synthesized from the rearrangement of 3H-imidazo[4′,5′:3,4]benzo[c]isoxazoles. New imidazo[4,5-a]acridines were obtained from the reaction of imidazo[4,5-a]acridones in boiling POCl3. All of these compounds exhibited antimicrobial activities comparable to streptomycin as reference drug.

Abstract The reaction of 2-mercapto-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one or its 2-methylthio derivative with hydrazonoyl halides, in the presence of triethylamine, yielded 6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-a]pyrimidin-5-ones. The structure of the latter compounds was further confirmed by reaction of 2-mercapto-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one with the appropriate active chloromethylenes followed by coupling of the products with benzenediazonium chloride
to afford the non-isolable azo-coupling products which converted, in situ, to 6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-a]pyrimidin-5-ones. The reaction mechanism was proposed and the products were screened for their biological activity. Some
of the newly synthesized compounds had a moderate effect against some bacterial and fungal species.

followed by introduction of the aniline moieties via nucleophilic substitution.

Abstract Protonation of the highly reactive 1:1 intermediate produced in the reaction between alkyl or aryl isocyanides and electron-deficient
acetylenic esters with 3-hydroxy-1H-phenalene-1-one leads to a vinylisonitrilium cation, which undergoes an addition reaction with the conjugate base of the
3-hydroxy-1H-phenalene-1-one to produce biologically interesting dialkyl 10-(alkyl or arylamino)-7-oxo-7H,8H-naphtho[1,8-gh]chromene-8,9-dicarboxylates in moderate to fairly good yields at room temperature.

Abstract Bis[N-(1-pyrenylmethyl)salicylideneaminato]zinc(II) emits intense fluorescence on excitation of the pyrenyl group. This fluorescence
originates from the excited state of the salicylideneamine moiety, indicating that efficient intramolecular energy transfer
takes place. The occurrence of such efficient energy transfer is accounted for by significant spectral overlap between the
emission from the S1 state of the pyrenyl group and the absorption of the salicylideneamine–zinc complex.

Abstract A classical convergent approach for the synthesis of the anticancer drug imatinib has been substantially improved. Imatinib
was assembled by coupling the amine and carboxylic acid precursors by using N,N′-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) as a condensing agent. Both intermediates have been synthesized by novel efficient methods.

anions are suitable cosolvents for these transformations, yielding high enantiomeric excess and good conversion rates.

Abstract An efficient synthesis method for the preparation of a series of new (Z)- and (E)-3(5)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-styrylpyrazoles was developed. The reaction of (Z)- and (E)-3-styrylchromones with hydrazine hydrate afforded the corresponding (Z)- and (E)-3(5)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-styrylpyrazoles, except for nitro derivatives, where both (Z)- and (E)-4′-nitro-3-styrylchromones afforded (E)-3(5)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-(4-nitrostyryl)pyrazoles. The reaction mechanism for these transformations is discussed and the
stereochemistries of all products were established by NMR experiments.

A variety of liquid energy exists in papermaking engineering and has not yet been developed and utilized. In addition, for the papermaking industry, the presence of slime can seriously affect the quality of the finished paper and can lead to paper breaking. The current slime control strategies cannot completely solve the problem and also have some low toxicity. In this study, a method of self-powered sterilization of cellulose fibers by using triboelectric pulsed direct current is reported. A liquid–solid triboelectric nanogenerator (L–S TENG) was used to convert the liquid energy of nanocellulose suspension into electrical energy and convert this electrical energy into pulsed direct current for self-powered sterilization of cellulose fiber. A hydrophobic coating material is used as solid triboelectric material and electrode for sterilization. Driven by L–S TENG, the electrodes exhibited an excellent sterilization rate against four microorganisms including Escherichia coli, Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, and Klebsiella pneumoniae, which from slime in the papermaking industry. This study could provide a basic research theory for liquid energy harvesting in the papermaking industry, and also provide a new strategy for pulp sterilization.

Abstract A simple, clean, and environmentally benign three-component process to the synthesis of 2-amino-4H-chromenes using N,N-dimethylaminoethylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride, [PhCH2Me2N+CH2CH2NMe2]Cl−, as an efficient catalyst under solvent-free condition is described. A wide range of aromatic aldehydes easily undergo condensations
with α-naphthol and malononitrile under solvent-free condition to afford the desired products of good purity in excellent
yields. Taking into account environmental and economical considerations, the protocol presented here has the merits of environmentally
benign, simple operation, convenient work-up and good yields. Furthermore, the catalyst can be easily recovered and reused
for at least five cycles without losing its activities.

Abstract A new route to the synthesis of 2-arylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones has been developed through heterocyclization of 2-amino-4,5-dimethylthiophene-3-carboxamide
with aromatic aldehydes in boiling glacial acetic acid followed by air oxidation. The unoxidized intermediates, 2-aryl-2,3-dihydrothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(1H)-ones, are isolated when the reactions are carried out either at room temperature or under a nitrogen atmosphere.
