The pyridine-heteropoly compounds are very active catalysts for phenol hydroxylation to dihydroxybenzenes with hydrogen peroxide as oxidant in aqueous solutions. The conversion of phenol reaches 77.8%, and the selectivity for dihydroxybenzenes reaches 99%.     

Solubility data for benzene in aqueous solutions of methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and of diglycolamine (DGA)

Specially designed equipment based on a static-analytic method with Rolsi™ pneumatic samplers for on line gas chromatograph analysis has been used for this work. Operating pressures and temperatures are between 0.3 and 10 MPa and between 293 and 393 K. Vapor pressures over liquid-liquid mixtures and benzene solubility data are reported herein for benzene with amine aqueous solutions (methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and diglycolamine (DGA)). Modelling of solubility data is achieved using a simple model based on activity coefficients.     

An Oxygen Sensation: Progress in Macromolecule Hydroxylation Triggered by the Elucidation of Cellular Oxygen Sensing

The 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine honours three scientists that devoted their careers to pursuing an audacious basic science question: by what mechanisms do animals sense oxygen, and how can cells adapt to a lack of oxygen? The identification of the human hypoxia inducible factor pathway has enabled new approaches for the therapy of related diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease, anaemia, and stroke. The intricate molecular details of oxygen sensing broadened interest in the family of iron‐ and 2‐oxoglutarate‐dependent oxygenases known from elaborate natural product chemistry, and catalysed major progress in macromolecule hydroxylation. The laureates’ work enables numerous avenues for molecular scientists, from C?H activation chemistry to PROTAC technology, medicinal chemistry, and epigenetics.     

Synergistic catalysis of isolated Fe~(3+) and Fe_2O_3 on FeO_x/HZSM-5 catalysts for Friedel-Crafts benzylation of benzene

FeO_x/HZSM-5 catalyst with 8 wt.%Fe-loading（8-FeZ） exhibited significantly higher reactivity in the benzylation of benzene with benzyl chloride than FeO_x/HZSM-5 catalyst with 2.5 wt.%Fe-loading（2.5-FeZ） because the synergistic catalysis between isolated Fe³⁺ and superfine Fe₂O₃ occurred on 8-FeZ in the reaction.     

Synthesis of l-α-phosphatidyl-d-myo-inositol 3,5-bisphosphate from d-glucose

Efficient synthesis of l-α-phosphatidyl-d-myo-inositol 3,5-bisphosphate was achieved from 1,2,5,6-diisopropylidene-d-glucose by utilizing ring-closing metathesis and catalytic OsO₄ dihydroxylation.     

Oxidation of Benzene in the Aqueous Phase Over a Bimetallic Carbon Supported Catalyst

Aqueous phase heterogeneous catalytic oxidation of benzene by dissolved oxygen is reported. Using a bimetallic platinum-ruthenium catalyst supported on a high surface area activated carbon, good conversions were obtained at temperatures above 100°C and space-times greater than 40 seconds. Complete conversion of benzene to carbon dioxide and water was achieved at 100°C with a reactor space-time of 300 s.

Present work focus on the synthesis of a new series of Schiff Bases (E)-4-(1 substituted-1H Benzo[d]imidazole-2-yl)-N'-(substituted Benzylidene)benzohydrazide (5a-5l) were synthesized. The convenient route for the synthesis of new analogues by the condensation of 4-(substituted -1H-Benzo[d]imidazole-2-yl)-N'- Hydrazine with different derivatives of aromatic aldehydes were described using different solvents and catalysts. The structures of the synthesized compounds were ascertain by spectral techniques viz. IR, ¹H NMR, MS and Physical Elemental data. Compounds were also subjected to thermal analysis to study their physical and chemical properties. The title compounds were also screened for their antimicrobial activity against various bacterial & Fungal strains. Results of bioassay vary with diverse group attached to Benzimdazole motif and could be helpful for the development of other bioactive molecules.
