The oxidizing ability of organic dyes is enhanced significantly by photoexcitation. Radical cations of weak electron donors can be produced by electron transfer from the donors to the excited states of organic dyes. The radical cations thus produced undergo bond formation reactions with various nucleophiles. For example, the direct oxygenation of benzene to phenol was made possible under visibl...

New rapid, sensitive, and accurate kinetic spectrophotometric methods were developed, for the first time, to determine omeprazole (OMZ) in its dosage forms. The methods were based on the formation of charge-transfer complexes with both iodine and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ). The variables that affected the reactions were carefully studied and optimized. The formed complexes ...

We describe the first electrochemical activation of D–A cyclopropanes and cyclobutanes leading after C(sp3)?C(sp3) cleavage to formation highly reactive radical cations. This concept is utilized formally insert molecular oxygen direct or DDQ-assisted anodic oxidation strained carbocycles, delivering ?- ?-hydroxy ketones 1,2-dioxanes electrocatalytically. Furthermore, insights into mechanism oxi...

This paper presents an I test generation system for DDQ scan-based circuits, called CURRENT. A library-based fault modeling strategy is used to specify a realistic target fault set, which encompasses intra-gate shorts (for example stuck-on faults, gate-drain shorts) as well as inter-gate shorts (bridging faults). CURRENT consists of a fault simulator and a deterministic test generator. The faul...

Simple spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods are suggested for the determination of antifungal drugs; clotrimazole, econazole nitrate, ketoconazole, miconazole and tolnaftate. Spectrophotometric one depends on the interaction between imidazole antifungal drugs as n-electron donor with the pi acceptor 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) in methanol or with p-chloranilic ...

ViZDoom is a robust, first-person shooter reinforcement learning environment, characterized by a significant degree of latent state information. In this paper, double-Q learning and prioritized experience replay methods are tested under a certain ViZDoom combat scenario using a competitive deep recurrent Q-network (DRQN) architecture. In addition, an ensembling technique known as snapshot ensem...

The aim of study was to develop and validate two simple, sensitive, and extraction-free spectrophotometric methods for the estimation of risperidone in both pure and pharmaceutical preparations. They are based on the charge transfer complexation reactions between risperidone (RSP) as n-electron donor and p-chloranilic acid (p-CA) in method A and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) i...
