Preparation and characterization of nano-Co-[4-chlorophenyl-salicylaldimine-methyl pyranopyrazole]Cl2 as a new Schiff base complex and catalyst for the solvent-free synthesis of 1-amidoalkyl-2-naphthols

By the reaction of 4-chlorobenzaldehyde with ethyl acetoacetate, malononitrile, and hydrazine hydrate, 6-amino-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-2,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole-5-carbonitrile was prepared and then reacted with salicylaldehyde and CoCl₂·6H₂O to produce nano-Co-[4-cholorophenyl-salicylaldimine-methylpyranopyrazole]Cl₂ (nano-[Co-4CSMP]Cl₂). The prepared nano-Schiff base complex was reported for the first time and fully characterized by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, differential thermal gravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Brunner–Emmett–Teller analyses and applied as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of some 1-amidoalkyl-2-naphthol derivatives.     

Copper-immobilized ionic liquid as an alternative to organic solvents in the one-pot synthesis of bioactive dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole derivatives

In this study, a novel Cu-immobilized ionic liquid (IL)was designed, characterized, and employed as both promoter and solvent in the synthesis of some dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles. The synthesized ionic liquid was characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, FTIR, ICP and EDX analysis and showed high catalytic activity to proceed the synthesis of bioactive dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole derivatives. This method has the advantage of using the IL as a green medium for the synthesize of the products in high to excellent yields within short reaction times.     

Microvascular blood flow with heat transfer in a wavy channel having electroosmotic effects

The present paper addresses microvascular blood flow with heat and mass transfer in complex wavy microchannel modulated by electroosmosis. Investigation is carried out with joule heating and chemical reaction effects. Further, viscous dissipation is also considered. Using Debye–Huckel, lubrication theory, and long wavelength approximations, analytical solutions of dimensionless boundary value problems are obtained. The impacts of different parameters are examined for temperature and concentration profile. Furthermore, nature of pressure rise is also investigated to analyze the pumping characteristics. Important results of flow phenomena are explored by means of graphs.     

Sulfonic acid-functionalized Fe3O4-supported magnetized graphene oxide quantum dots: A novel organic-inorganic nanocomposite as an efficient and recyclable nanocatalyst for the synthesis of dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole and 4H-chromene derivatives

In this research, the main emphasis has been focused on the preparation of a novel Fe₃O₄-supported propane-1-sulfonic acid-grafted graphene oxide quantum dots (Fe₃O₄@GOQD-O-(propane-1-sulfonic acid)) that it was readily synthesized via a five-step procedure as a hitherto unreported magnetic nanocatalyst. This newly prepared Fe₃O₄@GOQD-O-(propane-1-sulfonic acid) nanocomposite was structurally well-established by different analytical techniques including Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), field emission gun-scanning electron microscope (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) analyses. The high catalytic performance of this nanocomposite was exhibited in one-pot synthesis of dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole and 4H-chromene derivatives under mild conditions. Low reaction times, excellent yields of the products, benignity of the catalyst, easy reaction work-up and magnetic recyclability of the catalyst are the main advantages of the present protocol. Also, our research indicated that the Fe₃O₄@GOQD-O-(propane-1-sulfonic acid) could be reused up to five times without considerable loss of catalytic activity.
