PTSA catalyzed simple and green synthesis of benzothiazole derivatives in water

Abstract  

p-Toluenesulfonic acid (10 mol%) was found to be an effective and efficient catalyst for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzothiazoles from aromatic aldehydes and 2-aminothiophenol in moderate to excellent yields in water. This method provides a simple and efficient protocol in terms of mild reaction conditions, clean reaction profiles, small quantity of catalyst, and simple workup procedure.     

Catalytic determination of traces of silver(I) using the oxidation of Janus Green with peroxodisulfate.

A method for sensitive and selective determination of silver based on the catalytic effect of silver(I) ion on the oxidation of Janus Green by peroxodisulfate is described. o-Phenanthroline is used as an activator. The rate of the decrease in absorbance of Janus Green (at 615 nm) is proportional to the concentration of silver in the range of 0.3-4.0 ng mL(-1) and 4.0-500.0 ng mL(-1). The theoretical limit of detection was 0.25 ng mL(-1). The method is free from most interferences. The method was applied to the determination of silver in plants (the uptake of silver by plants), in photographic solutions, lake water and several synthetic samples.

One Pot Synthesis of Octahydroquinazolinone Derivatives Using (Me (Im)<Superscript>12</Superscript>) H<Subscript>4</Subscript>CuPW<Subscript>11</Subscript>O<Subscript>39</Subscript> as a Surfactant Type Catalyst

This study is aimed at proposing a practical green procedure for the synthesis of octahydroquinazolinone derivatives using benzaldehyde, dimedone and urea under microwave irradiation in water. A surfactant type polyoxometalate-based organic–inorganic hybrid was able to efficiently catalyze this synthesis. The catalyst was prepared and characterized by Fourier transform infrared, UV–Vis, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. The employed catalyst exerted a synergistic effect; the anion part acted as a catalyst while the cation part acted as a surfactant in order to increase the concentration of organic reactants in water. The main advantage of this method is its remarkable yield in short reaction periods, which results in the rendering of products with high purity. Moreover, this heterocatalyst is capable of being easily recovered and reused several times. The influences of reaction conditions were studied systematically, and a possible catalysis mechanism was proposed for understanding the highly efficient heterogeneous catalytic behavior.     

Groups with the same order and degree pattern

The degree pattern of a finite group has been introduced in [18].A group M is called k-fold OD- characterizable if there exist exactly k non-isomorphic finite groups having the same order and degree pattern as M .In particular,a 1-fold OD-characterizable group is simply called OD-characterizable.It is shown that the alternating groups A m and A m+1 ,for m = 27,35,51,57,65,77,87,93 and 95,are OD-characterizable,while their automorphism groups are 3-fold OD-characterizable.It is also shown that the symmetric groups S m+2 ,for m = 7,13,19,23,31,37,43,47,53,61,67,73,79,83,89 and 97,are 3-fold OD-characterizable.From this,the following theorem is derived.Let m be a natural number such that m 100.Then one of the following holds: (a) if m = 10,then the alternating groups A m are OD-characterizable,while the symmetric groups S m are OD- characterizable or 3-fold OD-characterizable;(b) the alternating group A 10 is 2-fold OD-characterizable;(c) the symmetric group S 10 is 8-fold OD-characterizable.This theorem completes the study of OD-characterizability of the alternating and symmetric groups A m and S m of degree m 100.     

Encapsulation of small fullerenes into nitrogenated holey nanotubes: a density functional theory study

Encapsulation of fullerene into nanotubes based on a C₂N sheet, known as nitrogenated holey graphene, was investigated using density functional theory. The structural and electronic properties of these carbon hybrid materials, consisting of nitrogenated holey nanotubes and a small C₂₀ fullerene, were studied. The formation energies showed that encapsulation of the fullerene into the nitrogenated holey nanotube is an exothermic process. To characterise the electronic properties, the electronic band structure and density of states of armchair and zigzag nitrogenated holey nanotubes were calculated. Filling these nanotubes with the C₂₀ fullerene resulted in a p-type semiconducting character. The energy band gap of the nitrogenated holey nanotubes decreased with fullerene encapsulation. The results are indicative of the possibility of band gap engineering by encapsulation of small fullerenes into nitrogenated holey nanotubes.     

Surface properties of nano-Al2O3 film and its application in the preparation of morphine electrochemical sensor

In this study, alumina nanoparticles and film were synthesized by sol–gel method and thermally grown. The chemical composition, morphology, and structural properties of the grain nanostructures of the nanoaggregate aluminum atoms on the silicon surface are characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy techniques which show that the atomic ratio of Al and O elements is about 60:45 and the mass ratio is about 70:31. This point reveals that there is no intermediate layer between Al₂O₃ and the silicon substrate. In conclusion, this nanoparticle shows good electron conductivity at the surface of a carbon paste electrode that shows its ability in the preparation of a nanosensor in morphine analysis. The linear response range and detection limit were found to be 0.1–550 and 0.03 μmol L^?1, respectively. The proposed sensor was successfully applied for the determination of morphine in real samples such as human urine and drug.
