1H-Tetrazole 5-acetic acid (TAA) has been explored as a new organocatalyst for the synthesis of 2-aryl-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-ones derivatives from 2’-aminoacetophenone under solventfree conditions. The method described herein is covenient and the catalyst could be reused. Mechanistic study of the reaction revealed that the reaction passing through initial activation of the aldehyde by the catalyst and the C-C bond formed through the intermolecular pathway. The synthesized compounds exhibit yellowish-white fluorescence when exposed to 350 nm UV light. Optical properties such as absorption and fluorescence emission spectra were monitored in methanol. Fluorescence emission properties in different solvents with different polarity indicate solvatochromic characteristics of the probes.

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of substituted 5-oxoacids by sodium perborate in aqueous acetic acid medium have been studied. The reaction exhibits first order both in [perborate] and [5-oxoacid] and second order in [H+]. Variation in ionic strength has no effect on the reaction rate, while the reaction rates are enhanced on lowering the dielectric constant of the reaction medium. Electron releasing substituents in the aromatic ring accelerate the reaction rate and electron withdrawing substituents retard the reaction. The order of reactivity among the studied 5-oxoacids is p-methoxy ≫ p-methyl > p-phenyl > –H > p-chloro > p-bromo > m-nitro. The oxidation is faster than H2O2 oxidation. The formation of H2BO3+ is the reactive species of perborate in the acid medium. Activation parameters have been evaluated using Arrhenius and Eyring’s plots. A mechanism consistent with the observed kinetic data has been proposed and discussed. Based on the mechanism a suitable rate law is derived.

Developing catalyst is very significant for biologically important reactions which yield products, used as drugs. Mechanistic study on meso-tetraphenylporphyriniron(III) chloride (TPP) catalysed oxidation of indole by sodium perborate in aqueous acetic acid medium have been carried out. The reaction follows a fractional order with respect to substrate and catalyst. The order with respect to oxidant was found to be one. Increase in the percentage of acetic acid and increase in the concentration of [H+] decreased the rate. The reaction fails to initiate polymerization, and a radical mechanism is ruled out. Activation and thermodynamic parameters have been computed. A suitable kinetic scheme based on these observations has been proposed. Significant catalytic activity is observed for the reaction system in the presence of TPP.
