Stimuli responsive luminescent materials, especially those exhibiting multicolor emission switching, have potential application in sensor, optical recording, security ink, and anti-counterfeit label. Through combination of twisted conjugation core and donor and acceptor units, a luminogen (2-(bis(4-(carbazol-9-yl)phenyl)methylene)malononitrile (1) was synthesized. Luminogen 1 can form three kin...

New generations of biorefinery combine innovative biomass waste resources from different origins, chemical extraction and/or synthesis of biomaterials, biofuels, and bioenergy via green and sustainable processes. From the very beginning, identifying and evaluating all potentially high value-added chemicals that could be removed from available renewable feedstocks requires robust, efficient, sel...

recently, subcritical water extraction (swe) has been well known as a green technology for extraction of bioactive compounds from plants. in this study, subcritical water extraction, ultrasound assisted extraction (uae) and shaker solvent extraction (sse) were compared for extraction of phenolic compounds from fig (ficuscarica) pulp and skin. antioxidant activity of the extracts was evaluated u...

The aim of this study was to determine the best processing conditions to extract Brazilian green propolis using a supercritical extraction technology. For this purpose, the influence of different parameters was evaluated such as S/F (solvent mass in relation to solute mass), percentage of co-solvent (1 and 2% ethanol), temperature (40 and 50°C) and pressure (250, 350 and 400 bar) using supercri...

The aim of this study was evaluate the potential use of low-cost and environment friendly solvents to extract polyphenols from apple wastes for biotechnological application. Apples solid wastes from industrial transformation were used as raw material to produce extracts enriched in antioxidant polyphenols, using a green and environmental friendly solvent in a solid-liquid extraction. The reacti...

The application of IR 786 perchlorate (IR-786) as a selective optical sensor for cyanide anion in both organic solution (acetonitrile (MeCN), 100%) and solvent-free solid surfaces was demonstrated. In MeCN, IR-786 was selective to two anions in the following order: CN(-) > OH(-). A significant change in the characteristic dark green color of IR-786 in MeCN to yellow was observed as a result of ...

The Diels–Alder reaction is a powerful tool in organic synthesis and in the chemical industry. Recently an increased attention has been focused on the development of green methods for the purpose of improving rate and selectivity of this reaction. In recent years, ionic liquids (ILs) have gained a lot of attention as green solvents in organic synthesis and other chemical processes. This is main...

a mild and efficient method has been developed for the preparation of substituted coumarins from reaction of various phenols with different β-ketoesters via pechmann condensation in the presence of brønsted acidic ionic liquid (n-(4-sulfonic acid) butyl triethylammonium hydrogen sulfate) as an effective catalyst under solvent-free conditions. different phenols reacted with ethyl acetoacetate to...

aqueous polyurethane dispersions (puds) have recently emerged as important alternatives to their solvent-based counterparts for various applications due to increasing health and environmental awareness (green chemistry). anionic polyester-polyurethane dispersions were synthesized by three steps. in the first step, macromonomer diisocyanate having carboxylic acid was prepared by isophorone diiso...

Suzuki C-C cross-coupling of aryl halides with aryl boronic acids using new phosphene-free palladium complexes as precatalysts was investigated. A pyridine-based Pd(II)-complex was used in open air under thermal as well as microwave irradiation conditions using water as an eco-friendly green solvent.
