Molecular Diversity - In this research, a new multilayered magnetized bio-nanocomposite has been prepared. At first, the amino acid-based ionic liquid was obtained from L-histidine and...     

An inverse problem for a linear diffusion equation with non-linear boundary condition

In this paper we consider the determination of an unknown radiation term in the non-linear boundary condition of a linear diffusion equation from an overspecified condition. It is shown that the solutions of this inverse problem is unique and stable.     

Synthesis of 3‐substituted indoles promoted by pulverization‐activation method catalyzed by Bi(NO3)3·5H2O

A new, facile, efficient, “green” and chemoselective procedure for the synthesis of indole derivatives has been developed with pulverization‐activation method catalyzed by Bi(NO₃)₃·5H₂O (PAMC‐ Bi(NO₃)₃·5H₂O) through grinding of indoles with aldehydes or Michael acceptors in the presence of catalytic amounts of Bi(NO₃)₃·5H₂O under solvent‐free conditions.     

Ultrasound-assisted thiocyanation of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds using ammonium thiocyanate and DDQ

Thiocyanation of various aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds has been achieved in the presence of ammonium thiocyanate (NH(4)SCN) and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) in methanol solution under ultrasound irradiation. An ultrasonic probe of 24 kHz frequency has been used for this study. Whereas the use of ultrasound increases the rate of reactions compared with reactions at reflux conditions, the electron-donor ability of aromatic nucleus enhances also the rate of reaction.     

Ultrasound-assisted synthesis of 3-(1-(2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl)-2-aryl-6,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indol-3-yl)indolin-2-ones by novel core-shell bio-based nanocatalyst anchoring sulfonated L-histidine on magnetized silica (SO3H-L-His@SiO2-nano Fe3O4)

An efficient synthesis of 3-(1-(2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl)-2-aryl-6,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indol-3-yl)indolin-2-ones is reported via a one-pot three-component reaction of 3-phenacylidenoxindoles, tryptamine, and dimedone under ultrasound irradiation using a newly prepared core-shell nanostructure. The utilized nanocatalyst is obtained by anchoring sulfonated L-histidine amino acid shell, as the bio part, on silica-nanomagnetite core (SO₃H-L-His@SiO₂-nano Fe₃O₄) and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H NMR), field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis, vibrating sample magnetometer measurements, transmission electron microscopy, and back-titration. The protocol contains several advantages, such as relatively short reaction times, simple work-up procedure by separation of the catalyst with an external magnet, the use of economical and environmentally friendly ultrasonic waves, and reusability and recoverability of the core-shell nano-promoter for three runs without significant activity loss.     

Magnetized inorganic–bioorganic nanohybrid [nano Fe3O4‐SiO2@Glu‐Cu (II)]: A novel nanostructure for the efficient solvent‐free synthesis of thiazolidin‐2‐imines

In this research, a solvent‐free four‐component one‐pot reaction of phenyl isothiocyanate, phenylacetylene, various kinds of aldehydes, and amines was interpreted to obtain the desired five‐membered heterocycles named thiazolidin‐2‐imines. The promotor of this transformation is a novel magnetite‐based multilayered inorganic–bioorganic nanohybrid prepared via embedding glutamic acid on the magnetized silica followed by anchoring Cu (II) [nano Fe₃O₄‐SiO₂@Glu‐Cu (II)]. The newly synthesized nanostructure is characterized through Fourier‐transform infrared (FT‐IR), field‐emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X‐ray analysis (EDAX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X‐ray fluorescence (XRF), thermogravimetric analysis or derivative thermogravimetric (TGA/DTG), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) techniques. This protocol is a straightforward one‐step procedure to obtain thiazolidin‐2‐imines without requirement to propargylamines or imines as substrates. In addition, easy work‐up procedure, high yields of products, absence of organic solvents in the reaction media, recovery and reusability of nano Fe₃O₄‐SiO₂@Glu‐Cu ( II) to promote the reaction at least for three runs without activity lost, simple separation of the catalyst from reaction mixture via an external magnet, and regioselectivity of the method are some highlighted aspects of the approach.
