2-Cyano-N-(thiazol-2-yl) acetamide (2a) and 2-cyano-N-(oxazol2-yl) acetamide (2b) were obtained via the reaction of ethyl cyanoacetate with either 2-aminothiazole (1a) or 2-aminooxazole (1b). The formed products were directed toward the reaction with cyclopentanone and elemental sulfur in the presence of triethylamine to give cyclopenta[b]thiophene derivatives (3a,b). The latter products were r...

A series of naphthopyran derivatives 3a-f were prepared. Reaction of 2-amino-4-(p-chlorophenyl)-7-methoxy-4H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran-3-carbonitrile (3b) with Ac2O afforded two products, 2-acetylamino-7-methoxy-4-(p-chlorophenyl)-4H-naphtho-[2,1-b]pyran-3-carbonitrile (4) and 10,11-dihydro-3-methoxy-9-methyl-12-(p-chloro-phenyl)-12H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran[2,3-d]pyrimidine-11-one (5) and treatment of 3b...

The aim of this study is to synthesize and examine the in vitro anticancer, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of N-fatty acyl derivatives of 4,5-dimethoxy tryptamine. A series of new N-fatty acyl derivatives of 4,5-dimethoxy tryptamine compounds derived from 2,3-dimethoxy benzaldehyde have been prepared. The synthesized compounds have been characterized and screened for anticancer, antio...

Natural mesolite type zeolite was collected, modified by sulfuric acid treatment and characterized by using Powder-X ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR).Temperature programmed ammonia desorption (NH3-TPD), Brunauer-Emmer-Teller (BET) surface area analysis.  Modified dealuminat...

Novel nano-catalysts (Nano ZnO and Fe doped ZnO (Fe(0.1)Zn(0.99)O) synthesized by co-precipitation method in aqueous solution as new nanocatalysts and characterized by common techniques as FTIR, XRD, SEM and UVD. The size of particles obtained from XRD data is 27 and 16 nanometers for ZnO and Fresno respectively. Influences of doped Fe on ZnO catalytic properties in oxidation of Benzylic alcoho...

The present paper describes the synthesis of two Azo-Schiff base named (2-(((2-aminophenyl)imino)methyl)-6-ethoxy-4-((Z)-phenyldiazenyl) phenol, 2-((Z)-((4-aminobutyl)imino)methyl)-6-ethoxy-4-((Z)-phenyldiazenyl)phenol) by diazotization reaction synthesized (3-Ethoxy-2-hydroxy benzaldehyde) with aniline compound to gave Al- Azo – aldehyde and reacted (O-phenylenediamine or1,4-butanediamine) bas...

Background: Control of fungi is problematic, since effective methods for intervening fungal infection or contamination, especially for those resistant to drugs/fungicides, are often very limited. Generally regarded as safe (GRAS) agents, such as natural compounds or their structural analogs could be potential sources of sustainable antifungal agents. As a proof of concept, antifungal efficacy o...

A quick, reliable, purification procedure was developed for purifying both benzyl alcohol dehydrogenase and benzaldehyde dehydrogenase II from a single batch of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus N.C.I.B. 8250. The procedure involved disruption of the bacteria in the French pressure cell and preparation of a high-speed supernatant, followed by chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel, affinity chromatography o...
