functionalized indeno[1,2-b]chromene derivatives have been synthesized via condensation reaction of 1h-indene-1,3(2h)-dione with benzaldehyde and cyclization with 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione in the presence of a catalytic amount of triethylamine (et3n) in etoh at room temperature. it was observed that benzaldehyde bearing electron donating group gave high yield of product, whereas, benzaldeh...

a green and convenient method for the synthesis of 14-aryl-14h-dibenzo[a,i]xanthene-8,13-diones and spiro[dibenzo[a,i]-xanthene-14,3'-indoline]-2',8,13-triones in the presence of a catalytic amount of cellulose sulfuric acid (csa) as an efficient biopolymer-based catalyst under solvent-free conditions at 100 °c is described. the condensation reactions of β-naphtol, 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dion...

Links between environmental chemicals and human health have emerged over the last few decades, but the effects from polyaromatic hydrocarbons were less studied, compared to other commonly known environmental chemicals such as heavy metals, phthalates, arsenic, phenols, pesticides, etc. Therefore, the aim of the study was to examine the relationships of urinary polyaromatic hydrocarbons and adul...

Evidence supports active smoking as a major source of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), compounds that are mutagenic and carcinogenic in humans. The influence of involuntary exposure to tobacco smoke on PAH exposure levels among nonsmokers, however, is unknown. This study evaluated the association between both active and involuntary tobacco smoke and biomarkers of PAH exposure...
