Design and Synthesis of Some New Benzimidazole Containing Pyrazoles and Pyrazolyl Thiazoles as Potential Antimicrobial Agents

A new class of bis heterocycles‐benzimidazolyl pyrazoles were prepared from the Michael acceptor (E)‐3‐(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl)‐1‐aryl‐prop‐2‐en‐1‐one. The thiamide group was exploited to develop thiazole ring on treatment with p‐fluorophenacyl bromide to get tris heterocycles. All the lead compounds were tested for antimicrobial activity. The compound 7d having nitro substituent on the aromatic ring showed greater antimicrobial activity particularly against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Penicillium chrysogenum.     

Sustainable feasibility of waste printer ink to magnetically separable iron oxide–doped nanocarbons for styrene oxidation

A simpler cost-effective method for the isolation of magnetically separable ‘self-doped iron oxide nanocarbons’ (FeO-NC) from waste printer ink (used as a carbon source material which is available free of cost) is discussed here. The process involves carbonization of waste printer ink in a muffle furnace at ~600 °C to obtain FeO-NC. The as-prepared FeO-NC has been investigated as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the long-known important organic reaction involving transformation of styrene to benzaldehyde in a quantitative yield (~70%). Importantly, FeO-NC were magnetically separable along with good recyclability, which supports the sustainability of reported process.

用于吖内酯合成的二氧化钛纳米晶体材料(英文)

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles were prepared by a electrochemical reduction method using para-meters such as current density, solvent polarity, distance between electrodes, and concentration of stabilizers to control the size of the nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microsco-py, and their catalytic performance was tested for the synthesis of a series of 4-aryldiene-2-phenyl-5(4)-oxazolones from the cyclodehydration and condensation of the respec-tive aldehyde, hippuric acid and acetic anhydride. Easy availability, reusability and eco-friendliness were some prominent features of the nanocrystalline titanium dioxide catalyst.     

Enhancing photocatalytic activity of zinc oxide by coating with some natural pigments

An attempt has been made to enhance the photocatalytic activity of zinc oxide semiconductor by coating it with extracts of natural pigments, chlorophyll and anthocyanin. Coated photocatalyst has been used for the photobleaching of rose bengal dye. Progress of the reaction has been monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring absorbance of the reaction mixture at definite time intervals. The effect of variation of different parameters such as pH, concentration of dye, amount of semiconductor and light intensity on the rate of photobleaching was also observed. A tentative mechanism for the reaction has been proposed.
