The starting material 3-nitro-2-acetylnaphtho[2,1-b]furan (2) was obtained by nitration of 2-acetylnaphtho[2,1-b] furan (1), under mild condition. The compound 1 was synthesized by the reaction of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde with chloroacetone, where in both condensation and cyclization took place in single step. The reaction of 3-nitro-2-acetylnaphtho[2,1-b]furan (2) with hydrazine hydrate produced corresponding hydrazone (3) in excellent yield, which on treatment with various aromatic aldehydes under different reaction conditions resulted in the formation of symmetrical azines (4a-e) and unsymmetrical azines (5a-e). All the newly synthesized compounds have been characterized by analytical and spectral studies and were screened for antibacterial antibacterial activity againstBacillus subtilusandAlcaligenes fecaliesand antifungal activity againstAspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus parasiticusandAspergillus terrus. The Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) efficiency of some of the synthesized compounds was measured by powder technique using Nd:YAG laser.

A convenient route to the synthesis of the first bis(ferrocenyl carboxylato) telluranes has been developed. Reactions of 1,1,2,3,4,5,6-heptahydro-1,1-(dihydroxo)tellurane and 1,1,2,3,4,5-hexahydro-1,1-(dihydroxo)tellurophene with ferrocene carboxylic acid give 1,1,2,3,4,5,6-heptahydro-1,1-bis(ferrocenyl carboxylato)tellurane (3) and 1,1,2,3,4,5,-hexahydro-1,1-bis(ferrocenyl carboxylato)tellurophene (5), respectively. The X-ray structure of 3 shows that it contains a tellurium heterocycle (C5H10Te), present in a chair conformation, sandwiched between two ferrocene units with carboxylate groups acting as spacers. Compound 3 also exhibits modest second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency. The electrochemical studies of 3 and 5 through cyclic voltammetry show only one oxidation wave, indicating the presence of independent redox centers leading to reversible single-step two-electron redox systems.Key words: tellurane, ferrocenylcarboxylate, SHG efficiency, electrochemistry.

4H-Pyrano[3,2-c]coumarin derivatives are an important class of pharmaceutical compounds that are expensive to prepare by previously reported methods. An efficient and green method was developed to obtain these derivatives using the deep eutectic solvent (DES) zinc chloride/acetamide (n:n = 1:4), which acted as both the catalyst and the solvent for the reaction. An aromatic aldehyde, 4-hydroxycoumarin, and cyanoacetate were used as the substrates. The DES, substrate molar ratio, diluent type, temperature, and reaction time were optimized to obtain the 4H-pyrano[3,2-c]coumarin derivatives from a range of aromatic aldehydes in a single step in moderate to high yields and under mild reaction conditions.

The interest in miniaturization of particles revealed the hidden applications of metal oxides. The potential applications of the particles may vary when the size of the particle is reduced. One of the alternative routes to the conventional approach is the use of plant extract for the synthesis of metal oxides NPs. In the framework of this study, the ecofriendly MgO nanoparticles were synthesized using Acalypha Indica leaf extract,functioning as reducing and capping agent by co-precipitation method. The predecessor taken here was Magnesium Nitrate. The biologically synthesized MgO NPs were characterized by various techniques like X ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), Scanning electron microscope (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX) profile and its antibacterial activity is evaluated against causative organisms. XRD studies confirmed the face centered cubic crystalline structure of MgO NPs and the average crystalline size of MgO NPs calculated using Scherer’s formula was found to be 13 nm. FTIR spectrum shows a significant Mg-O vibrational band. Purity, surface morphology and chemical composition of elements were confirmed by SEM with EDX. The SEM result shows the fine spherical morphology with the grain size range between 43nm to 62nm. Antimicrobial assay of MgO NPs was examined against gram positive and negative bacteria. Appreciated activity was observed on the Staphylococcus aureus bacterial species. In general, the renewed attempt of this facile approach gave the optimum results of multifunctional MgO NPs.

Background: In this study, an efficient synthesis of novel bispyrazole heterocyclic molecules by condensation of substituted aromatic aldehydes with 1,3-diketo-N-phenylpyrazole by using Mg/Al-LDH as heterogeneous catalyst is reported. The attractive features of this protocol are as follows: mild reaction conditions, good yields and easiness of the catalyst separation from the reaction mixture. Further, a mechanistic study has been performed by using DFT calculations to explain the observed selectivity of the condensation reaction between aryl aldehyde and 1,3-diketo-N-phenylpyrazole via Knoevenagel reaction. The local electrophilicity/ nucleophilicity that allows explaining correctly the experimental finding.

Abstract This review discusses the main factors that govern the oxidation processes of lignins into aromatic aldehydes and acids using hydrogen peroxide. Aromatic aldehydes and acids are produced in the oxidative degradation of lignin whereas mono and dicarboxylic acids are the main products. The stability of hydrogen peroxide under the reaction conditions is an important factor that needs to be addressed for selectively improving the yield of aromatic aldehydes. Hydrogen peroxide in the presence of heavy metal ions readily decomposes, leading to minor degradation of lignin. This degradation results in quinones which are highly reactive towards peroxide. Under these reaction conditions, the pH of the reaction medium defines the reaction mechanism and the product distribution. Under acidic conditions, hydrogen peroxide reacts electrophilically with electron rich aromatic and olefinic structures at comparatively higher temperatures. In contrast, under alkaline conditions it reacts nucleophilically with electron deficient carbonyl and conjugated carbonyl structures in lignin. The reaction pattern in the oxidation of lignin usually involves cleavage of the aromatic ring, the aliphatic side chain or other linkages which will be discussed in this review.

A series of some new phenothiazine derivatives were synthesized with the objective for evaluation as antimicrobials. The title compounds were prepared by a five step synthesis scheme. 2-Amino-6-substituted benzothiazoles (1) on diazotization afford 6-substituted benzothiazolyl-2-diazonium chlorides (2). Reaction of 2 with cold solution ofβ-naphthol in dilute NaOH furnishesα-(2-diazo-6-substituted benzothiazolyl)-β-sodionaphthoxides (3) which on acidification with concentrated HCl givesα-(2-diazo-6-substituted benzothiazolyl)-β-naphthols (4). Reaction of 4 with p-substituted anilines givesα-(2-diazo-6-substituted benzothiazolyl)-β-(p-substituted anilino) naphthalenes (5). This synthesis besides by using conventional methods was also attempted using microwave. Fusion of 5 with sulphur in presence of iodine results inα-(2-diazo-6-substituted benzothiazolyl)-6- substituted [2, 3-b] benzophenothiazines(6). The structures of all these compounds have been supported by elemental analysis and their spectral studies. All synthesized compounds were tested for their antibacterial activity using standard drugs.

Background: S. cristaefolium is the brown seaweed extracted using the serial technique with different solvents. Methods: S. cristaefolium powder (50 mesh) was extracted with hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol respectively. The S. cristaefolium powder residue had been dried before being re-extracted with the next different solvents. Three serial extracts were obtained and named as the 1-stage extract, 2-stage extract, and 3-stage extract. Besides, a single-step extract (extraction using only methanol) was also produced to compare with three serial extracts in antibacterial activity tests (against E. coli and S. aureus). The three serial extracts were detected their antibacterial compounds using GC-MS, LC-HRMS, and FT-IR. Results: The 3-stage extract had the highest extraction yield. On S. aureus, the inhibition zone in all extracts was not significantly different. On E.coli, the highest inhibition zone (5.42±0.14 mm) was the 3-stage extract, indeed it is higher than both antibiotic and a single-step extract. Phenol, 9-Tricosene(Z)-, palmitic acid, and oleamide were contained in all extracts. Other antibacterial compound types, both the 1-stage and 2-stage extracts contained 8 types whilst the 3-stage extract contained the most types (12 types). Particularly, hexyl cinnamic aldehyde and betaine were detected only in the 3-stage extract with the dominant area. The carboxylic acid groups were detected in all extracts to confirm the fatty acid structure. Several cinnamic aldehyde groups were detected only in the 3-stage extract. Conclusions: Thus, the extraction technique serially could produce the 3-stage extract which has the strongest antibacterial activity and the richest antibacterial compounds.

Abstract In this work, jasmine flower derived activated carbon were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal carbonization process at the different annealing temperature. The Crystallinity, phase, structural, morphological and optical properties of activated carbon were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), and UV-visible spectroscopy analysis. The graphitic phase of carbon was obtained from the XRD pattern. Surface morphology reveals irregular-shaped nanoparticles. The photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) was carried out under the visible light irradiation technique to study its photocatalytic activity. The activated carbon obtained at 400oC, 500oC and 600oC shows a photocatalytic degradation efficiency of 86%, 90%, and 94%, respectively. Antibacterial activity of activated carbon was examined against S. Aureus (MTCC-737) and E-Coli (MTCC- 443) microbial pathogens, and their potent antibacterial activity was examined from the zone of inhibition layer.
