Palladium catalyzed domino C-H activation strategy: An access to 9- fluorenones

Palladium catalyzed domino C-H functionalization reaction of arylaldehyde with dihaloarene has been developed to access 9-flourenone molecules. Bidentate ligand assisted strategy, single step reaction, high yield and excellent functional group tolerance make this method concise and effective for the synthesis of 9-flourenone. In addition, proposed method has been successfully employed to synthesise Tilorone in gram scale.     

A cost‐effective curvature calculation approach for interfacial flows on unstructured meshes

We present a simple and cost‐effective curvature calculation approach for simulations of interfacial flows on structured and unstructured grids. The interface is defined using volume fractions, and the interface curvature is obtained as a function of the gradients of volume fractions. The gradient computation is based on a recently proposed gradient recovery method that mimicks the least squares approach without the need to solve a system of equations and is quite easy to implement on arbitrary polygonal meshes. The resulting interface curvature is used in a continuum surface force formulation within the framework of a well‐balanced finite‐volume algorithm to simulate multiphase flows dominated by surface tension. We show that the proposed curvature calculation is at least as accurate as some of the existing approaches on unstructured meshes while being straightforward to implement on any mesh topology. Numerical investigations also show that spurious currents in stationary problems that are dependent on the curvature calculation methodology are also acceptably low using the proposed approach. Studies on capillary waves and rising bubbles in viscous flows lend credence to the ability of the proposed method as an inexpensive, robust, and reasonably accurate approach for curvature calculation and numerical simulation of multiphase flows.

Domain-based local pair natural orbital methods within the correlation consistent composite approach

Ab initio composite approaches have been utilized to model and predict main group thermochemistry within 1 kcal mol⁻¹, on average, from well-established reliable experiments, primarily for molecules with less than 30 atoms. For molecules of increasing size and complexity, such as biomolecular complexes, composite methodologies have been limited in their application. Therefore, the domain-based local pair natural orbital (DLPNO) methods have been implemented within the correlation consistent composite approach (ccCA) framework, namely DLPNO-ccCA, to reduce the computational cost (disk space, CPU (central processing unit) time, memory) and predict energetic properties such as enthalpies of formation, noncovalent interactions, and conformation energies for organic biomolecular complexes including one of the largest molecules examined via composite strategies, within 1 kcal mol⁻¹, after calibration with 119 molecules and a set of linear alkanes. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and in vitro antimicrobial screening of new pyrano[4,3-b]pyrane derivatives of 1H-pyrazole

A new series of pyrano[4,3-b]pyrane 4a-l bearing 1H-pyrazole has been synthesized by one pot base catalyzed cyclocondensation reaction of 1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde la-1,malononitrile 2 and 4-hydroxy-6-methylpyrone 3.All the synthesized compounds were screened against six bacterial pathogens,namely B.subtilis,C.tetani,S.pneumoniae,S.typhi,V.cholerae, E.coli and antifungal activity against,two fungal pathogens,A.fumigatus and C.albicans using broth microdilution MIC method. Some of the compounds are found to be equipotent or more potent than that of commercial drugs,against most of employed strains.
