Rice husk: A mild,efficient, green and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of 12-Aryl-8, 9, 10, 12-tetrahydro [a] xanthene-11-ones and quinoxaline derivatives

Rice husk, as a green and cheap reagent, can be used for the promotion of the synthesis of 12-aryl -8, 9,10,12-tetrahydrobenzo[α] xanthen-11-one derivatives (ATXOs) via three-component reaction of aldehydes, 2-naphthol and 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadione (dimedone) under solvent-free conditions. This catalyst can also be used for the preparation of quinoxaline derivatives in a mixture of H₂O and CH₃CN at 50 °C. The present methodology offers several advantages such as high yields, simple procedure, low cost, short reaction times, mild reaction conditions and use of a green, cheap and reusable catalyst.

基于纳米结构的电化学传感器用于伏安法测定苄丝肼、尿酸和叶酸(英文)

A carbon paste electrode modified with carbon nanotubes and ferrocene was fabricated.An electrochemical study of the modified electrode and an investigation into its efficiency for the electrocatalytic oxidation of benserazide,uric acid and folic acid were undertaken.The electrode was also used to study the electrocatalytic oxidation of benserazide using cyclic voltammetry,chronoamperometry,and square wave voltammetry(SWV).We found that the oxidation of benserazide at the surface of the modified electrode occurs at a potential about 285 mV lower than that of unmodified carbon paste electrode.SWV gave a linear dynamic range from 8.0×10-7 to 7.0×10 4 mol/L.The detection limit was 1.0×10-7 mol/L for benserazide.This modified electrode was used for the determination of benserazide,uric acid,and folic acid in an urine sample.     

对乙酞氨基酚和色氨酸存在下采用改进的碳纳米管糊电极伏安法测定抗坏血酸(英文)

A carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified with carbon nanotubes and 5‐amino‐3’,4’‐dimethyl‐ bi‐ phenyl‐2‐ol (5ADB) is prepared. Under the optimum pH of 7.0, the oxidation of ascorbic acid (AA) on the modified CPE occurs at a potential about 280 mV less positive than that on the unmodified CPE. Some kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for electrocatalytic oxidation of AA, including electron transfer coefficient (α = 0.58) and diffusion coefficient (D = 2.2 × 10-6 cm2/s), are also determined. AA, acetaminophen (AC), and tryptophan (TRP) were detected simultaneously using the modified CPE. The peak potentials recorded using the modified CPE in phosphate‐buffered solution at pH 7.0 were 265, 465, and 780 mV for AA, AC, and TRP, respectively. The modified CPE was successfully used to determine the concentrations of AA, AC, and TRP in real samples.     

‘Click Synthesis’ of 1H‐1,2,3‐Triazolyl‐Based Oxiconazole (=(1Z)‐1‐(2,4‐Dichlorophenyl)‐2‐(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)ethanone O‐[(2,4‐Dichlorophenyl)methyl]oxime) Analogs

The ‘click synthesis’ of some oxiconazole analogs 5a – 5v having 1H‐1,2,3‐triazolyl residues by Huisgen cycloaddition was achieved in four steps (Scheme 1). Oximation of phenacyl chloride ( 1 ) followed by azidation of 2‐chloro‐1‐phenylethanone oxime ( 2 ) provided azido ketoxime 3 . The CuI‐catalyzed Huisgen cycloaddition of 3 with terminal alkynes gave the 4‐substituted (at the triazole) 2‐(1H‐1,2,3‐triazol‐1‐yl)‐1‐phenylethanone oximes 4a – 4i . The O‐alkylation of 4a – 4i with various alkyl halides resulted in the formation of the target molecules 5a – 5v in good yields.     

New method for microextraction of ultra trace quantities of gold in real samples using ultrasound-assisted emulsification of solidified floating organic drops

A method was developed for the determination of gold ion in water samples using microextraction based on the ultrasound-assisted emulsification of solidified floating organic drops, followed by the flame atomic absorption spectrometry. N-(4-{4-[(anilinocarbothioyl)amino]benzyl}phenyl)-N-phenylthiourea was used as chelating agent. The parameters affecting the extraction and complex formation (including the type and volume of the extracting solvent, time of sonication and centrifugation, pH, amount of the chelating agent, and sample ionic strength) were optimized. Under the optimum conditions, the calibration graph is linear in the range from 1.5 to 400 ng mL^?1, with a limit of detection of 0.45 ng mL^?1. The relative standard deviation for ten replicate determinations of gold ion in a concentration of 175 ng mL^?1 was 1.7%. The procedure was successfully applied to the determination of gold in water samples, in pharmaceutical and synthetic samples, and in a standard reference material.

Existence results for a class of degenerate quasilinear elliptic systems

We establish existence results for weak solutions of degenerate quasilinear elliptic systems. By using the variational method we obtain the existence of a solution for an elliptic system with Dirichlet boundary condition under some restriction on λ.     

Mesophilic alcohol dehydrogenase behavior in imidazolium based ionic liquids

The use of ionic liquids to replace organic solvents in biocatalytic processes has recently gained much attention. Despite the wide applications of oxidoreductases, there are few reports of their catalyzed reaction in ionic liquid. We have investigated the influence of four water miscible ionic liquids on the activity, stability and structure of the mesophilic alcohol dehydrogenase from yeast. Upon changes in ionic liquids concentration, both activity and stability of the enzyme were affected. As the concentration of ionic liquids increased, K_m increased while k_cat decreased. Associated conformational changes caused by ILs (150 mM) were monitored using fluorescence technique. Finally, the effects of ILs cations and anions on the enzyme activity and stability in aqueous IL mixtures were discussed.     

Chromium(III) Potentiometric Sensor Based on Para‐Tertiary‐Butyl Calix[4]arene

A new chromium(III) PVC membrane sensor incorporating p‐tertiary‐butyl calix[4]arene as ionophore, potassium tetrakis as additive and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) as plasticizer was constructed. The electrode exhibited an excellent potentiometric response over a wide concentration range of 1.0×10^?7–1.0×10^?1 M with a Nernstian slope of 20±0.5 mV per decade. The detection limit was 5.0×10^?8 M. The electrode showed a better performance over a pH range of 3.0–8.0, and had a short response time of about <15 s.The electrode was successfully applied to potentiometric titration of Cr (III) with EDTA and for direct determination of chromium(III) in waste water.     

Design and Preparation of Single‐Chain Nanocarriers Mimicking Disordered Proteins for Combined Delivery of Dermal Bioactive Cargos

Inspired by the multifunctionality of vitamin D‐binding protein and the multiple transient‐binding behavior of some intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), a polymeric platform is designed, prepared, and characterized for combined delivery of dermal protective and anticancer bioactive cargos on the basis of artificial single‐chain nano‐objects mimicking IDPs. For the first time ever, simultaneous delivery of folic acid or vitamin B₉, and hinokitiol, a relevant natural bioactive compound that exhibits anticancer activity against human malignant melanoma cells, from these multidirectionally self‐assembled unimolecular nanocarriers is illustrated.
