A mild and efficient one-pot three-component and environmentally benign approach for the synthesis of a wide range of hydantoin annulated derivatives has been described. A multi-component reaction between a carbonyl compounds (ketone or aldehyde), potassium cyanide and ammonium carbonate (as cyanating agent and amine source, respectively leads to the formation of hydantoins. The proposed optimi...

in spite of the technologies developed during the last decade, the level of food loss is still high and is reported in many countries. according to the united nations, more than 30 per cent of the mortality rate world-wide is caused by alimentary diseases. the desire of most countries to make food safer for consumption requires better food preservation and production techniques. in this regard,...

In this research, a coated graphite electrode was constructed for determination of Mg2+ in pharmaceutical supplements. The designed sensor demonstrates an ideal Nernstian slope (30.1 mV. Decade-1) over a wide concentration range (1×10-6- 1×10-1 Mol L-1). The selectivity of the sensor was evaluated over 16 different cations by matched potential method and no serious interference was observed fro...

As the magnetic storage density increases in commercial products, e.g. the hard disc drives, a full understanding of dynamic magnetism in nanometer resolution underpins the development of next-generation products. Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) is well suited to exploring ferromagnetic domain structures. However, atomic resolution cannot be achieved because data acquisition involves the sensin...

Co3O4/NiO@GQDs@SO3H nanocatalyst has been used as an effective catalystfor the preparation of 2,4-diamino-6-arylpyrimidine-5-carbonitrile derivativesthrough a three-component reaction of malononitrile, aromatic aldehydes andguanidine hydrochloride under reflux conditions in ethanol. The catalyst has beencharacterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM, EDS, BET, TGA, XPS and VSM. Atom e...

Food contamination with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria is recognized as one of the public health concerns worldwide. Although fish and fishery products at retail in Japan have relied on imported materials, no apparent evidences exist prevalence property genetic transfer ESBL-producing those food specimens. This study aimed to investigate plasmid-mediated antibiotic-r...
