a simple, mild and efficient method for the regioselective nitration of various aromatic compounds usingpoly(4-vinylpyridinium nitrate) (p4vpyn) in the presence of melamine trisulfonic acid (mtsa), is reported.this method provides several advantages such as good selectiveity between ortho and para positions ofaromatic compounds, clean procedure, simple work-up, short reaction times, solvent-fre...

the impact of phenolic-contaminated water on microbial community structure was assessed using biolog microarrays techniques. the following biolog plates were used: gen iii plates, new test panel for identification of both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, ecoplates microarray for evaluation of functional diversity of microbial communities and phenotype microarrays (pms) for characteriza...

organophosphate (op) poisoning is one of the most common causes of poisoning in developing countries especially in southeastern asia. poisoning with phosphorus-containing organic chemicals or op compounds can be managed with antidotes like oximes which are potential reactivators of acetylcholinesterase (ache). the efficacy of oxime therapy in op poisoned patients mainly depends upon various fac...

in the present study, nanocrystalline ni50al50-xmox (x = 0, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5) intermetallic compound was produced through mechanical alloying of nickel, aluminum, and molybdenum powders. alni compounds with good and attractive properties such as high melting point, high strength to weight ratio and high corrosion resistance especially at high temperatures have attracted the attention of many rese...

phenolic and flavonoid compounds are secondary metabolites of plants which possess various activities such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-diabetes and anticancer effects. it has been established that these compounds can scavenge free radicals produced in the body. because of this ability, not only the plants containing phenolic and flavonoid compounds but also, the pure compounds are use...

eight salvia l. species including s. spinosa l., s. reuterana boiss., s. macrosiphon boiss., s. syriaca l., s. nemorosa l., s. virgata jacq., s. sharifii rech. f. & esfand. and s. mirzayanii rech. f. & esfand. were studied for flavonoid compounds. these constituents were analyzed using two-dimensional maps on silica gel 60f thin layer chromatography. the flavonoid compounds of each spec...

the difficult to handle and store zinc borohydride, zn(bh4)2, is stabilized by supporting it on polyvinylpyridine. this new mild, efficient, selective, and regenerable polymer supported borohydride reducing agent reduces a variety organic compounds such as, aldehydes, a-b-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, acid chlorides, epoxides, disulfides, as well as reductive acetylation of carbonyl compounds...

ultrasonic technology as an innovative technology may be used for water and wastewater treatment for pollution removal. this technology acts as an advanced oxidation process. application of this technology leads to the decomposition of many com­plex organic compounds to much simpler compounds during physical and chemical compounds during cavitation proc­ess. in this article review, some applica...
