A novel hydrophilic pyridine-bridged bis-benzimidazolylidene palladium pincer complex (3) acted as a highly efficient robust recyclable molecular catalyst towards Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions in aqueous media and tolerated various functional groups (even heterocycles) with extremely low catalyst loading.

A new water-soluble receptor 1 has been synthesized and it showed selective recognition of zwitterionic arginine in aqueous media. Moreover, the receptor 1 could be regard as a facile tool for protein labeling and quantitative determination (LOD = 15 nM).

In this work, an eco-friendly procedure for the preparation of 2,3-dihydroquinazoline-4(1H)-ones was developed by condensation reaction of benzylic and heterocyclic aldehydes with 2-aminobenzamide in the presence of catalytic amounts of cyanuric chloride (2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazin) as an available and inexpensive organo-catalyst under aqueous media as a green conditions. The new co...

The fluorinated dendritic chiral mono-N-tosylated 1,2-diphenylethlenediamine, FTsDPEN, has been synthesized and applied in the ruthenium(ii) complex-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of prochiral ketones in aqueous media.

A new type of poly(ionic liquid) membrane, which shows switchable hydrated states via lower critical solution temperature-type phase behaviour, enables concentration of some water-soluble proteins from aqueous media.

Background: Aquatic ecosystems are an important source of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) that can cause different diseases in human. Since culture of mycobacteria needs long-term incubation, fast-growing microorganisms and contaminants in the environment usually prevents the isolation of mycobacteria. Here, we compare different treatment protocols and describe a method that increases the rec...

β-Cyclodextrin sulfuric acid as a green Lewis acid catalyst has been applied for the preparation of bis(indolyl)methanes, tris(indolyl)methanes and 3,3'-diindolyloxindole derivatives by the condensation of indoles with various carbonyl compounds in aqueous media with high to excellent yields.

An efficient and direct procedure for the synthesis of benzo[h]-indeno[1,2-b]-quinoline derivatives has been described. The procedure employs a three-component condensation reaction in one-pot using 2H-indene-1, 3-dione, naphthalen-1-amine,and aldehydes in the presence of catalytic amount of L-prolinein aqueous media.

Among the numerous and interesting features of ionic liquids is their ability to form aqueous biphasic systems (ABSs) when combined with inorganic or organic salts in aqueous media. In this work, a wide range of salts was studied, aiming at gathering a detailed picture on the molecular mechanisms that govern the ability of the salt ions to induce the formation of ionic-liquid-based ABSs. For th...
