Simple and mild procedures for synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives using heterogeneous catalyst systems

TsOH/graphite and N,N‐dimethylaniline/graphite were found to be catalyst systems for condensation reaction of o‐phenylendiamine with different aldehydes to form benzimidazole derivatives under mild and simple conditions. The graphite was easily recovered by a simple extraction and could be reused without decrease of activity in the presence of fresh TsOH and N,N‐dimethylaniline.

Thermodynamic Consistency Test of Vapor–liquid Equilibrium Data of Binary Systems Including Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ) and Ionic Liquids Using the Generic Redlich–Kwong Equation of State

The thermodynamic consistency test of solubility P–T–x data for binary mixtures including carbon dioxide (CO2) + a room temperature ionic liquid has been investigated. Experimental solubility data taken from the open literature for 32 binary mixtures of CO2/RTILs contains 80 isotherms. The applied consistency test is based on the fundamental Gibbs–Duhem equation with use of the generic Redlich–Kwong (GRK) equation of state (EoS) coupled with the van der Waals–Berthelot (GRK/vdWB) mixing rule. The optimum parameters were obtained by minimizing the summation of per cent relative deviations between modeled and experimental data, based on the bubble pressure algorithm. Modeling was found acceptable for all isotherms, which demonstrated the usability of the GRK equation of state. Results of the thermodynamic consistency test showed that 36 of the isothermal data sets were thermodynamically consistent, 37 were not fully consistent, 6 were thermodynamically inconsistent and only one data set was found to need another model.     

The quantum chemical calculation of NMR two-bond spin–spin coupling constants in the N?···H–OH?→?N–H···OH? switching

A quantum chemical study has been carried out to investigate the effects of the size of H₂O cluster and substituents (X = H, Me, OMe, CHO, NO, and NO₂) in the para position of the anilide ion on the two-bond spin–spin coupling constants (SSCCs) ^2h J _N···O across in the N–H–O switching at B3LYP/6-311 ++G(2d,2p) level of theory. The changes in ^2h J _N···O SSCCs due to variation of substituent and H₂O cluster size were well monitored by changes in binding energy, structural parameter, electron density topography, natural charge, charge transfer, and percentage of p-character of N atom in the C–N bond. Linear correlations were found between ^2h J _N···O and above-mentioned properties.     

Oxidation and determination of Gabapentin on nanotubes of nickel oxide-modified carbon paste electrode

The electrooxidation of Gabapentin was studied on nanotubes of nickel oxide-modified carbon paste electrode for the first time. Cyclic voltammetry was employed to investigate the electrooxidation process. A simple, sensitive, and efficient amperometric method was developed for the analysis of the drug, and the corresponding analytical parameters were reported. For Gabapentin, a detection limit of 0.3 μM was obtained in a linear range of 2.4–50 μM. The proposed amperometric method was also applied to the analysis of commercial capsules, and the results were in good agreement with the declared values. Also, the applicability of the method to the direct assay of the drug in human serum and urine was described.
