The triethylamine promoted stepwise 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of N-phenacylbenzothiazolium bromides with nitroalkenes in ethanol resulted in a mixture of two isomeric tetrahydrobenzo[d]pyrrolo[2,1-b]thiazoles with cis/trans/cis- and all-trans-configurations. More importantly, the corresponding dihydrobenzo[d]pyrrolo[2,1-b]thiazoles can be selectively prepared in refluxing ethanol and t...

ABSTRACT. The solid charge transfer (CT) complexes of fluorescein (Flu) with definite acceptors (tetrafluoro para benzoquinone (Fla); 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ); 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ) and iodine) were prepared. Several characteristic analytic procedures such as transmission (FT-IR), diffuse reflectance, UV-Vis absorption, cyclic voltammetry used to determine...

An electrochemiluminescence (ECL) inhibition method combined with molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction (MISPE) was developed for quantitative determination of malachite green (MG) residues in fish. It was found that MG could strongly inhibit the ECL signal of luminol. Under the optimized conditions, the quenched ECL intensity versus the logarithm of the concentration of MG was in good l...

The oxasmaragdyrins containing one five membered heterocycle such as pyrrole, thiophene and furan in place of one of the meso-phenyl group were synthesized by acid-catalyzed oxidative coupling reaction of meso-heterocycle substituted dipyrromethane with 16-oxatripyrrane in the presence of catalytic amount of trifluoroacetic acid followed by oxidation with DDQ. The smaragdyrin macrocycles contai...

The reactivity of N-amidinothiourea (1) as an electron donor towards several electron-accepting functional groups via electron-donor-acceptor (EDA) interaction has been studied. Thus on treatment of 1 with either 1,1,2,2-tetracyanoethylene (TCNE, 2), 2,3-dicyano-1,4-naphthoquinone (DCNQ, 4), 2,3,5,6-tetrabromo-1,4-benzoquinone (BHL-p, 6), 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone (DCHNQ, 8), 2,3,5,6-tetr...
