Sewage and industrial effluents from biological treatment plant have been widely used for agricultural irrigation in north part of China. However, effluents after biological treatment still contain heavy metals and persistent organic contaminants. The persistent organic contaminants accumulated in soil may transfer through the food chains and cause adverse health effects on human or biological ...

Leaching behavior of organic contaminants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can be altered in the presence of organic amendments through enhanced sorption of PAHs to the amended soil. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of biochar in two forms (i.e., crushed and pulverized), and granular activated carbon on immobilization and leaching behavior of selected...

In our efforts to address the rising incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we have made a commitment to the synthesis of novel molecules to combat Hep-G2 cells. A facile and highly efficient one-pot, multicomponent reaction has been successfully devised utilizing a p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TSA)-catalyzed domino Knoevenagel/Michael/intramolecular cyclization approach for the synthesis of...

A metal-free, TBHP-promoted economical route is developed via the sp(2) C-H bond functionalization strategy for the synthesis of indenoquinolinones, 4-azafluorenones and fluorenones. Reactions provided excellent yield of the products under mild conditions. We have successfully synthesized 11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinolin-11-one, an antibacterial agent, in excellent yields.

In the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C31H24N3O)], the pyrrolidine ring adopts a twist conformation. The pyrrolidine ring is almost perpendicular to the indeno-quinoxaline ring system, making a dihedral angle of 84.44 (5)°. The cyclo-penta-dienyl rings of the ferrocene moiety adopt an eclipsed conformation. The crystal packing features weak C-H⋯N and C-H⋯π inter-actions.

An efficient one-pot, three-component method for the preparation of indeno[1,2-b]quinoline-9,11(6H,10H)-dione, acridine-1,8(2H,5H)-dione and various multi-substituted quinoline-3-carbonitrile derivatives has been developed through the Michael addition to enaminones, which was achieved by both microwave irradiation and conventional heating.

Solution-processable [1]benzothieno[3,2-b]benzothiophene (BTBT) derivatives with various end-capping groups, 2-(phenylethynyl)benzo[b]benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]thiophene (Compound 1), 2-octyl-7-(5-(phenylethynyl)thiophen-2-yl)benzo[b]benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]thiophene 2), and triisopropyl((5-(7-octylbenzo[b]benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]thiophen-2-yl)thiophen-2-yl)ethynyl)silane 3), have been synthesized c...

3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl) phenyl ammonium triflate(BFPAT) catalyzed one-pot synthesis of indeno[1,2-b]pyridine compound derivatives by four-component condensation aldehyde, aromatic ketones, 1,3-indanedione, and acetate in ethanol. Accessible starting materials, Simplicity operation, green practical catalyst, easy purification, excellent yields are the key benefits current technique.

A new cascade bicyclization of o-alkynyl aldehydes with thiazolium salts is described, in which 25 examples of densely functionalized indeno[2,1-b]pyrroles are achieved in a functional-group-compatible manner. Thiazole carbenes generated in situ from thiazolium salts play dual roles as reaction partners and as NHC catalysts. The synthetic utility of these bicyclization reactions results in subs...

The mutagenic activities of benzo[f]quinoline, benzo[h]quinoline, and a number of their derivatives, including dihydrodiols, K-region oxides, diol epoxides, and tetrahydroepoxides, were assessed in strain TA 100 of Salmonella typhimurium. The dihydrodiol derivatives of benzo[f]quinoline and benzo[h]quinoline were also tested for tumorigenic activity in newborn mice. Benzo[f]quinoline was metabo...
